Now it should be made clear; I function well in public and with people. I am not a neckbeard sitting on my gaming chair in front of the computer wearing a too small t-shirt that doesn’t cover my belly while drinking my twelfth Doctor Pepper. But in fairness I do have a belly.

I have a career and a life that puts me in contact with people and I am damn good at it.

My preference is to be alone with one other person where we talk, laugh, tease, and thoroughly get to know one another.

For those familiar with Myers-Briggs personality tests I am an INFP. So I’m an introverted, romantic dreamer who craves connection but with only a few select people.

Maybe a description of my perfect evening will reveal what I’m like.

We are in an out of the way cabin in the mountains. It’s snowing those big fluffy fakes that look more like they are floating instead of falling. The cabin is rustic but not rundown. It’s filled with wood. (Brown is my favourite colour) The fire place has a gentle fire going and the room is warm but not too hot. There is a large comfy soft couch in front of the fire and the lights are low so the flicker of the fire reflects off of us. You and I are on the couch and we each have the drink of our choice. Maybe wine, or my favourite - an old fashion - or who knows, maybe hot chocolate! I am sitting comfortably on the couch and you are laying on the couch with your head on my lap. And we talk. You tell me your dreams, your hopes or maybe your disappointments. Maybe you tell me something that starts with “Don’t think I’m strange but…” and you start laughing. While you tell me all about yourself I am playing with your hair on your forehead and tracing the outline of your jaw with my finger. Finally we tell each other our deepest, maybe most painful secret and we just find compassion and empathy from the other person. At that moment we feel not like two people but connected into one. As I gaze into your eyes, I gently lift your face to meet mine and I give you the most gentle intimate kiss. After the kiss all you can hear is the crackling fire as our eyes and souls connect.

That’s my perfect date. What this romantic dreamer longs for…in an online version. It’s possible. I’ve had it before.

So, somethings to keep in mind. Please be 40 or older. Please be in MST, PST or CST. It just works better. I’m really sorry about this and feel somewhat shallow about this but physical attraction is relevant to me. So I will probably want to exchange photos early on.

Btw I have been married and still am married to the same person for 34 years. Yes we were so young when we got married.

I tend to take my posts down after a short period for OpSpec reasons so if you wait you might miss me.

If you can picture being my companion on that couch in that cabin then please contact me.
