And why shouldn't we have a nice little secret?

My situation: I'm in a long-term marriage that isn't a lot of fun anymore; I mean, it's fine as roommates and friends but I'm missing feeling the passion.

About me: I work from home, so I've lots of free time to pay attention to you! I'm basically a big kid at heart. I'm curious about just about everything. I am never bored because I have so many interests. Life is too vibrant to just sit at a desk doing one thing.

I am 6 feet, average build. I hate working out but I like fitting in things like... clothes. Dark hair, sometimes a beard.

Special talents include talking about anything. Not bad with musical instruments. And I love to laugh and hear others laugh. Life is hard enough. Laughter evens some things out a bit.

Looking for: You, as you are, as you were , As I want you to be.

Uh, I should probably be more specific. I'm looking for someone that makes me laugh, and that hopefully laughs at my stupid jokes and groans when I tell them the worst puns. A sharp wit, and some cleverness absolutely slays me. I'd love someone that enjoys telling me what they've got going on in life, things that make them happy, etc.

I'm not putting up any hard boundaries about what happens here. The idealized version of this in my head is a really, really cool friend that likes to get naked when we hang out in addition to whatever else we do. We can take things at a pace that works for the both of us. With me, you're getting dependable attention: good mornings, good nights. I want to know all about you, what makes you smile, what makes you annoyed. I think all of that makes what comes after so, so much more fun.

I love conversation starters so, tell me, what is a minor pet peeve of yours? Sandwiches cut into triangles instead of down the middle? Cabinet doors left slightly ajar? Let me know what grinds your gears! Also, I will send cute dog photos on request; in case you needed any more convincing!
