I've been with my wife for 15 years, and unfortunately it looks like we're not going to make it. I am very much not needing/wanting to jump into something, right away, but it might be nice to find a friend who is going through something similar. If it blossoms, and leads to something, great! If it doesn't, that's fine, too.
If you're into Myers-Briggs, I'm an INTP. I don't know what all to write here, this is a little daunting, the prospect of dating again, quite frankly scares me a little; I know how much things have changed in 15 years. I never really learned to text, and watching my ex, I realize that will probably hold me up a bit when it comes to meeting people, so a texting friend might be nice, if you have the patience, lol!
I've always been a bit of a different guy. I'm a little awkward, and nerdy, but that never really got in my way too much, since I am tall, and a little bit better looking than average. I like to follow, rather than lead, but if I have to, I make a hell of a leader. I don't have a big ego, so I prefer to be a very excellent, right hand man to someone who knows what they're doing.
I just really don't have an out of control ego, like a lot of guys do. I really do feel a lot different from your average guy, and I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing sometimes. I am super laid back, not interested in most hierarchies/pecking order type of people. I think that comparison is the thief of joy, so I try to focus on tending my own garden, rather than be constantly looking over the fence.
For a 42 year old, I might be a little unique. No kids, but I went back to school at an older age, and then I got sick with cancer, so I am a little behind, professionally, but just before I got sick, I earned an education degree, so I am really excited to get back into working life, and exploring the possibilities of my degree.
My user name? I've had plenty of experiences with men, but I don't really think that I'm bi, maybe just really open minded? Lol, I know that probably sounds a little silly, but it's really how I feel. I really think the point of life is to have fun, and enjoy one's self, so I don't worry about labels too much, and I really don't care about what most people do, as long as it doesn't harm me, or other people.
So yeah, say hi if this resonates, at all! Like I said, I'm not looking for much, at the moment, and I'm sure there must be some like-minded women out there. Hope to hear from you, and if I'm not what you want/need, I wish you all the best in your search!
Oh, I guess this will keep getting removed if I don't mention that I'm 6'2", and about 190 pounds, which gives me a pretty average body type. I can host/travel, whatever.
