Recently, out of an almost 2 year OA and not looking for a repeat relationship. The "L" word was thrown around without true meaning, as she had admittedly talked to at least 2 other men during our time. While also posting in another sub searching for one of the men. Then... couldn't understand why I had a hard time trusting her. So, if you have similar intentions, please do not answer my post. I do not want to be gaslit again, lied to, and left heartbroken. I admit I have trust issues, but trust takes time and is not just given. I have a lot of time for this, and I have a lot to offer as things develop naturally. I am not against meeting if things should get to that point. I am in a broken marriage, and there's no going back. I've decided to just keep moving forward and do what's best for me. I'm willing to give one woman and ONE woman only all of my time and attention.

I'm an average to decent looking guy depending on which eye you're looking at me with. Hopefully, you're looking at me with the right eye. No, not your right eye... the Riiiight eye. Ok, now I've just confused myself. I also try my best to take care of myself. I will admit that I don't have hair like I used to, but I still manage to receive compliments. I buzz it really short, and when in doubt.... baseball hats are my best friend. I've also been told I look a lot younger than my age. I like to take fairly long brisk walks every day during the warmer months. I'm an avid golfer and spend time on my phone playing games, that I was told, slow down the "mental" aging process. At the pace I'm on, I should have the mind of a 24 year old. That will probably give you an idea of what I do with a lot of my time. I have older children who are never around, which leaves me alone quite often. I find myself searching through Netflix looking for movies I watched as a younger version of me. I'm very empathetic and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm also quite curious. I will ask lots of questions and welcome you to as well. I will warn you, though, I compliment often, so be prepared.

I'm looking for someone who is in this for all the right reasons. Someone with time and availability. Someone into catching feelings and isn't afraid to say the "L" word if and when they truly mean it. I'm also fine with "LIKE" if that's as far as it goes. I want us to be ourselves, be open, and have fun without any pressure. I'm also up for intimate conversations if and when you feel it's right for you. I don't want it to be the base of the relationship, but I do believe it helps the relationship grow.

I would prefer that you are someone who believes in a healthy lifestyle and/or is working on it. Looks are not super important, as I feel as though I'm just average looking myself. Please be over the age of 40 and have something to say in your first message. If you do not have time for this, it will not work. I hope you are all doing well, and I can't wait to hear from you!
