I've come to the conclusion that the best approach to this is to be as picky as possible because when we're being picky, it just seems to work better, or at least that has been my experience. So let's see how it goes this time around!

I'm looking for a real, meaningful connection with someone. Something that build into a long term relationship. No, I'm not trying to change anyone's situation, but I want something with genuine feelings involved. I want someone who will put in the effort, someone who knows how to communicate their expectations. I want the good morning and goodnight messages, the random pics through the day, the voice messages, all of it. I know, might be a lot I'm asking for, but I know it's our there! Just have to be patient!

Fast facts about me:

• 5'8", average build, brown hair, brown eyes (I've been told I have kind eyes)
• love to bike, read, listen to podcasts, woodwork, keep up with current events, play sand volleyball, and drink bourbon
• if it was physically possible to live on coffee and pizza alone I would be all about that lifestyle.
• I have two kids
• I am mostly available to chat through the day but will absolutely send messages in the evenings when I am able...must be able to respect each other's boundaries/home responsibilities
• I'm not looking to change my situation and don't want something that's strictly sexting. Wanting to make a real, genuine connection with someone (but yes, sexting would be involved eventually)

A few quick things I'm looking for...

• preferably near my age, but not super important as long as we click
• someone well read, keeps up with current events, and can carry on a conversation.
• preferably in/near SW Ohio area, but not required
• watches soccer or hockey is a huge plus, but I realize this is unlikely, haha (soccer fans to the front of the line!)
• willing to trade pics early (let's be honest, physical attraction is important)
• most importantly, just wanting someone who will be engaged in the "relationship" and is excited to chat and learn about each other. Sounds simple, but has been wildly difficult to find

Well, if you made it through this and are even mildly intrigued, send me a message! Let's have fun and make each other smile!
