45m here. My wife and I separated recently and she’s like a kid in a candy store with dating. Guys are abundant and she’s more than willing to just hookup.

I’m not ready for anything serious but I’m definitely not a hookup guy. What apps or sites do women looking for casual dating like best? What’s the most respectful way to indicate what I’m looking for? So far I’ve made it clear in my profile my status, but I feel like that red flags me, though legitimate to some degree. My goal is to be completely open and honest about where I am. I know there are women out not looking for a LTR, and I figure I can at least practice dating since the world has changed in 20 years.

To be clear, I’m doing a lot of work on myself, I’m not looking to fill a void. But I like connecting and I like sex, and I think I’m deserving of both as long as I respect the person I’m with. Just looking for tips on how to find people in a similar place.
