Trying to start this off without sounding generic and bland. Truthfully what I am looking for is plain and simple. To give an example, out of a 7 day week, I wake up to get the kid (6 year old daughter) up for breakfast and ready for school 4 days out of 5. I have to ask to sleep in. Cooking dinner or providing dinner, I take care of 6 out of 7 nights. Making sure the kids are showered is primarily my concern, and making lunches for my wife, son (who is at home until he starts school later this year, only 4) and myself. Also feeding 3 dogs, all while working from home with a 8-5 job. I am feeling a little under appreciated and honestly miss that genuine connection of 2 people caring equally for one another. I want to find someone to whom I can text and chat with regularly (week days and weekends). We share pictures back and forth, both NSFE and SFW. Good morning and good night texts, I want to be the reason you smile or blush sometimes when receiving a text. I am also kind of lacking in the sexual intimacy side too. I currently initiate 80% of the time, and we have kinks we have explored and I said I enjoy. Though she never asks to them, I have to hint that I want it instead of her telling me she wants too because it turns her on. I know this post sounds more like a complaint or me saying I'm in a bad situation, but I do love her and it's in my nature to make sure she has nothing to worry about. It was how I was raised, so much so that the kids know to never go wake up mom in the morning, they always automatically wake me up. It doesn't matter what time it is in the morning, be it 1am, 3am, 5am, they go straight to me. Little description about myself, I am 6'4, athletic dad bod, I coach football and soccer, I coach both my kids teams, I have coached my niece's team too. I'm a nerd as well, loving movies, video games, anime, and a large assortment of tv shows. I'm from Texas, but the time zome doesn't bother me. Please be close too or around my age 28-45 is a good range. If we some some similar interests it would be great in starting that connection. I am hoping for spicy content later, but first I want to focus on us building and growing that connection. Please be able to ask questions and really dive into getting to know one another. I can not stand when people say "I am no good at asking questions." How else do you get to know someone without being able to ask them QUESTIONs about themselves. If this has not scared you off, if it has by chance piqued your interest, then send me a DM. Tell me about yourself, what drew you to respond and something about yourself. Put your state too in there, just so I know your real and you read through, (helps weed out bots), I'm looking for a REAL connection!
