I'm tired of being by myself for the last 2 1/2 years, so I thought I'd see if Reddit could help me out. I have time this month, just want someone to spend it with... and perhaps for the months after this??

I am craving companionship like you wouldn't believe. I have found plenty of fakes and scammers. I will ask for you to prove yourself to be a real person fairly early on... so please don't be afraid of using voice and video. Honesty and integrity are very very important to me so I ask you to be the same. No game playing, no leading on/teasing... only real, straight forward ladies should contact me.

I'm well educated and employed, not rich, but I do ok for myself. I miss having someone to talk and share about the day. I miss getting that text to check on me... and I miss checking in on someone to let them know I'm thinking of them. I miss the closeness... the intimacy (both physical and emotional)... but I'm not looking necessarily to get married again. For now, looking for a good friend, that may turn into more. I miss the touch and the passion. And if it goes into a serious relationship, that works for me. Looking for someone to call mine.

I'm a BBM, 5'9". I've been told I'm a good looking man. Salt and pepper hair, I guess I look like a dad, with a dad gut. Once we make contact, will share pics, but I am not a thin buff stud by any means. The one thing I do have that's big... is a heart. (Got ya there, didn't I? LOL)

I also like to cook and eat (thus the big tummy), especially when I have someone to cook for. My specialties are grilling and smoking meat. I consider myself a foodie... I love to try new foods and incorporate food into my travels. Need and love my morning coffee so would love to spend our mornings with good conversation over coffee. I've recently gotten into cold brew which I've been drinking the last week.

I'm open to about any F, unless you are under 24 or over 60. I'm not into tattoos or piercings... discrete ones or a few are ok, but as I said, I'm old fashioned.

So, if this old guy interests you, please DM/chat me... Find chatting on Discord or Telegram is pretty good, so we can head there if we want to continue... And yes, I definitely want someone where we can meet IRL, not looking for solely an online relationship. Thanks for reading this, I hope you can find your person as no one should be alone.
