Alright, here’s the deal: I’m 47, married, and living in the Midwest (no, I’m not surrounded by cornfields, but I do know where to find some). My marriage is solid—no drama here—but like any long-term relationship, it doesn’t check every box. And I’ve realized I’m missing the kind of connection that makes conversations light up your day and stick with you long after they’re over.

That’s where you come in. I’m looking for someone smart, funny, and curious—someone who can challenge me with fresh perspectives but also doesn’t take life too seriously. I want to laugh with you, share random thoughts, dig into deep conversations, and maybe even talk about things we don’t tell anyone else. This isn’t about fleeting exchanges—I’m looking for something real and meaningful.

Now, I’ll be upfront: I’ve always found it easier to connect emotionally with Black women and women of color. The conversations feel more natural, more real, and honestly, I’ve always appreciated the unique perspectives and shared understanding that come with those connections.

As for me? I’m introspective, playful, and maybe a little nostalgic. I’ve got a dry sense of humor that sneaks up on you, and I’m pretty good at turning everyday moments into stories worth telling. I love the idea of building a connection where we’re both genuinely curious about each other—where you feel just as seen and understood as I do.

I know this ad won’t resonate with everyone, and that’s okay. I’m not looking for everyone—just the right one who stumbles across this and thinks, “Yeah, I get that.” So, if that’s you, let’s start a conversation and see where it goes. Who knows? This might just be the connection we both didn’t know we needed.
