I want to enjoy life with someone. I want to enjoy the regular day to day things with someone. I want to enjoy your company and have you enjoy mine. I want to smile at the little things in life and enjoy the intimacy of being close to another person.

I don't really know how to go about this, to be honest. I'm 35, divorced, father of two, and want to start the next stage in life. I've done the big wedding, I love my kids, but I'm not looking to have any more, and I tried damn hard to keep my marriage together. And after all that, all the chaos life can throw your way, I've realized I just miss having someone in my life for all the little things the most. Nothing grandiose, just normal everyday things.

Ultimately, though, I want a connection, a long-term relationship, a close FWB where we are actually friends, or anything in-between. I want to meet someone nearby so we can actually meet in person, and I want to click.

I'm not a huge drinker, I don't smoke weed but also don't have anything against it. My idea of a good time is going for a walk, a hike, camping in the summer, checking out a bookstore, taking in a movie, basic things. I want to be comfortable with you, be able to open up with you, and hold your hand as we explore life.

I'm not looking for someone who's looking for their next relationship like they're shopping for a new car with all the fix'ins. My life came crashing down, and I'm piecing it back together. So if you're looking for someone who hits all the boxes beyond just enjoying each other's company, I'm probably not the guy for you, and if that's all that matters to you, you're probably not the person for me.

I want to be somebody in someone's life again, and I want someone to be in my life again. There's a picture of me in my post history. Beyond that, ask me anything, and let's see where it goes.
