Ok, firstly I'll start off with the honest truth that I'm a divorced guy in NZ with a 10 year old kid who has a long distance partner, who is, shall we say, somewhat reserved!

I guess that many would see me as lucky and that I have things sorted, but I really don't. My current partner while lovely isn't here and doesn't really fill that intimate desire I have, that spark if you like. I mean she's lovely and all, but there is still an emotional disconnect of sorts, if you get my gist. Perhaps it's the distance between us, I don't know, but there is a certain connection, even an intimacy that's lacking.

So perhaps a little about me beyond what I've already shared on here... I'm 48 pushing 49, and eventually 50, lol. I do have commitments to my kid and an ex that I have to have contact with (something may partner doesn't really get). Obviously I live in NZ and would love to find someone to connect with close to my time zone if at all possible, but with that being said, I'm not adverse to seeking a connection with someone further afield.

I'm a fairly happy go lucky, glass half full kind of guy, someone who is into a deeper connection, and someone who loves to lift others up as I find some kind of purpose in that, in a way. I believe in organic relationships, ones that are build around personalities and respect for one another, but I will add that I'm a bigger guy and that I don't have much self esteem or confidence, so if you're after a hunk of a guy then I'm probably not for you. That being said, I do have a big heart and like to see people for who they are and not what they can give, and I truly do believe that everyone is beautiful in one way or another.

I'd love to find a connection, and whether that's and intimate one or not will depend on how we grow together, but I do believe that there is someone out there for everyone, and I'd live to get to know you, perhaps find that mutual connection I know we both crave, to be thought of and perhaps longed for in a way we aren't currently.

Hope to strike a chord and perhaps hear from you soon. ☺️
