Greetings,

About Me: I have been on this Earth for 51 years, but I am not 51yrs OLD.. I am young at heart, playful, with broad humor and an open mind.

My interests are eclectic:

My humor is quirky, dad-joke and pun-centric. I can be a bit dark, I can be a bit weird but it’s always with respect and I enjoy the reactions I get; the laugh, the groan or the eye roll.

I love to travel. I love road trips but I hate freeways.. the back roads are the best… if my destination is three hours away, I’ll gladly take eight hours to get there. The things you find along the way is what makes it an adventure. Taking the dogs on a back road drive is something I also enjoy. I have gone camping twice and enjoy it but I do not have the supplies. I love the mountains and rolling hills.

I love the water, to swim or play in the waves, and to kayak. I have never fished but if you do, I will watch and learn. I want to go crabbing in the Chesapeake bay and boil my own seafood. I love sushi, but a good steak is always nice, as well. Are you a health nut? I will take advantage of that to get into better shape for you and Me.

I enjoy color and design. Architecture, the way houses are designed (want to build my dream home with a lot of various tastes). I enjoy learning the history and etymology of words, as well as the source behind the reason things exist. The history of locations, as well.

I like Broadway shows. I like NASCAR, but prefer to go to short track for live races. I like football on a Sunday afternoon. I watch WWE.

I enjoy anime (Miyazaki films mostly) but a few 80s & 90s shows as well. I used to attend anime conventions, and would like to again with someone. I like Jpop, Kpop, and foreign music of many kinds. Do you know Hall Om Mig?

I have an extensive video collection (Action, comedy, horror, marvel, Disney) I play Guild Wars 2, and I own a PS3, PS4, Xbox and Switch.. but they get dusty. I love board and card games. I play Pokemon Go.

I sleep on my side, and I am told I am a soft snorer.

I love dogs and have three (2 Golden Doodles and a Yorkie). I have one cat, almost 22yo.

I can be a bit OCD and I like an organized and clean home, but I can get a bit lazy from time to time.

I do not smoke or do drugs. I drink.

I am an Atheist, and won’t be convinced otherwise. I do, however, love the idea of ghosts and spirits and get goosebumps in spooky places.

My kindred spirit will find the above recognizable to them, but hopefully they will have their own loves and desires to bring to the table.

I do not care about age, I do not care about body type and in the case of friends, I do not care about gender. I do not judge how you identify yourself, but give understanding that as I am older, I do not always understand fully the labels in today’s society and patience is something we will both need.

I try to not offend, nor am I easily offended.

I have a firm, rooted belief that everyone should be able to be whom they are, live their life their way and not be subjugated to the wills of others.

This leads to sharing that I identify myself as moderate liberal and sadly over the past few years, voting choices have become as much as a deal breaker as anything else in a new relationship.

Also, I believe in being open and direct, to not play mind games or expect the other to figure out what we mean. Flirting and teasing is wonderful, but if we want a new step to be taken, we should be comfortable and free to express that desire.

I have a big heart, I will sniff at a sad commercial, I will pick up a stray dog and see to it that it is safe, I will open the door for you, I will listen to you cry if you need a shoulder mine is there. I will sometimes blab, I will sometimes sigh in frustration. I will burp. But to those I call friend or lover, I am loyal, honest, sincere and dedicated.

I am human and I want my kindred spirit to be human. Mistakes and misunderstandings should be worked through, not a blockade.

I am okay with LDR as flirty friends. I am okay if you have many friends and I am but one who is casually messaged. However, please.. don’t ghost me. Just say “not feeling it” and that’ll be that.

I know that physical attraction is necessary in a romantic relationship, so I have pinned my photo to the top of my profile for you to peek at.

PS: I know that sometimes these ads get hit by scammers… I am not naive and I know most of the tricks and pick up on them very quickly, so don’t waste your time.

Congrats, you reached the end! Now, if you respond, share with me a little about you. Hey, and hello are not very motivating.
