Going to try this again. Half way through writing what is one of the hardest things anyone can write, a dating profile, and my program crashes. If it’s a sign to not write tonight, I’m ignoring it, as stubbornness is definitely one of my traits.

I am newly divorced, and this isn’t a dating ad to find my forever person… you don’t look for them.. they happen when you least expect it… this is to find connections for friendships, to share in experiences, to travel with… and yes, with honesty, maybe a physical connection? I may be 52 years on this planet, but I refuse to be old until the day I die. I am, however, a broken puzzle with some missing pieces.. and would love some help trying to put my picture back together. I am open to any age, or gender, or gender-identifying, for friendship. Dating wise, I’m strictly hetero, thank you.

For friends, distance means nothing, but for dating purposes, please be local-ish or in Delaware or Maryland (I really want to move out East.)….. Unless you’re in a tropical paradise.. THEN we’ll talk ;)

I do not smoke, or do any drugs of any kind, not even 420, and I don’t drink often… though an occasional night of letting loose is welcomed. I do like to keep the company of those who feel the same way about these things, thank you. Please do not feel offended, we all want to keep company of those we relate to, right?

So, a bit about me. I’m a quirky guy, weird sense of humor, quality dad jokes abound! Word play is so much fun in so many ways, including innuendo! ;)

I love to travel and fantasize about being free to road trip across America, fly to many different countries and see the beauty of the lands, structures and anywhere I can get into the water. Love the water, the ocean, the lakes.. to swim, kayak and learn to fish and crab some day. I’ll go to Amusement parks but they are not that big of a deal, anymore. I like to visit flea markets and antique stores and eat in mom & pop places. I adore museums, aquariums, parks and botanical gardens.

At home, I read, watch some TV, collect movies on disc, play with my three dogs.. two Golden Doodles and a Yorkie and I do collect some toys (kid at heart, ya know?) Sports wise I do like football, but not into any fantasy leagues, I watch auto racing and wrestling, and will let get lost on Youtube from time to time. With company I am eager to sit down to play a game at the table, maybe do some baking while we’re at it. I still like anime a bit, though it’s very selective and more for the films than any series. I occasionally will attend a convention, especially if any of my friends attend.

I own my home, cars, and have very little debt.. so when the time comes to date, I do want someone who is on their feet and we can be an equal team.

I am not religious and I identify as middle/left politically, since over the past decade this seems to be a bigger issue than it used to be.

On mature matters, ask me anything you’d like to know about my interests. I won’t write them, here.

Finally, if you’ve read this far, I want to be open and honest about a few things that can be considered my negatives (Not that I am putting myself down, but facts are facts). I am 5’7, 280 (losing too slowly) & I really don’t mind putting this out in the open, it doesn’t define me, but it will eliminate a lot of interest, but it’s important to be up front and honest. One thing I do try to be, is honest.. though I have on occasion, been ill timed in some of my truths. You can ask me what I mean, I will tell you.

So yeah, if you made it to this point, if you’ve picked up any pieces and want to form a better picture, write me… if anything, we’ll have a good time chatting and laughing.

This part is for the scammers and gamers; I know all the tricks.. don’t waste my time.
