..only because once you have loved in the real world, nothing else really compares, and no im not still in love, my heart was broken, and i suffered in silence for a few years, that was one of the lowest, darkest part of my life, and i stand before you now, asking you, what do you really want from this?

Everyone seems to be looking for the deep connections, with every intention of catching the feels, which is fair enough, each to their own, but let's be realistic, the chances of you finding your person to ride off into the sunset with, are almost impossible, but i admire your determination and perseverance.

Because of my real life experiences, and my experiences from being on Reddit, i feel im more realistic in what im expecting, especially about the type of relationship im looking for, which i will break down for you..

From the UK, i know it shouldn't matter where we're from, this is online after all, but it's not easy to maintain a relationship where there's 5 hours difference.

Conversation, i want to be able to chat with you throughout the day and evening, weekends too, im an open book, and looking for someone similar. I'm also talking about the the ability to help carry a conversation, some people struggle with this.

Flirtatiousness, sorry but that's partly why im here, life is stressful enough as it is, and it'll be nice just to forget about just how mundane life can be, and maybe begin to feel alive with someone who feels the same way.

These are just the basics, i know there's a lot more that goes into these relationships, and I'm still open to finding something on a deeper level, but i won't be focusing on that, so let's not focus on the destination, and think more about the journey.

I'm average height, high metabolism, considered attractive, been told i have nice kind eyes and a warm smile, a full head of hair and a greying beard.

In all fairness, confidence does it for me every single time, if you're rocking that mum bod with confidence, you'll definitely catch my attention.
