Hi ladies. I’m looking to connect online and see where things might lead. I’m not involved with anyone right now, and I’m hoping to find that special friend who shares some interests. Honestly, I’m just coming back around here after being away for a year or so. I’ve noticed that responses tend to fall into two categories: people are either not interested at all or they quickly get too intense. What I want is a relaxed friendship. Let’s enjoy good conversations, have some fun, and maybe explore a deeper connection if the chemistry is right. Just to be clear, I’m not looking for love—just a connection with a married woman who also has kids, ideally aged 35-50, but I’m open to others too. A friend with benefits, with an emphasis on the friend part!

Work keeps me busy, and I have a long commute, so some weeks I can be more available than others. If that’s cool with you, I think we could hit it off.

I’m a blue-collar guy with varied interests—sports, law, and politics (which can be a hassle), good food, and classic or exotic cars. I enjoy classic rock but also like gangsta rap, country, and even some opera. Music is a big part of my life. I like diving into video games, traveling, or just relaxing in a random hotel in a new city. Spending time with my kids is important to me; they keep me grounded.

I enjoy working on home projects and maintaining our mini-fleet of vehicles. I usually get along well with people in public service, like teachers, nurses, and first responders.

I’m looking for someone who’s height-weight proportionate and open to sharing a photo sooner rather than later—physical attraction matters. I hope to find a friend who’s open to some fun and flirty chats. If you’re up for an icebreaker, I’d love to know: What kind of food do you love today that you never thought you’d enjoy?
