Hi and thanks for reading. I'm a 42 year old dad (co-parent), with a nice home, stable income and too much free time on my hands to just spend alone. I live in the Netherlands. I speak Dutch, English and some French and German, still wanting to learn Spanish.

My kids (f10 and m8) will spend a week at my house, and the next at their mothers. In my free time, I love to:

- Listen to all kinds of music (EDM, Epic OST, jungle, house, classics (1980 ), some classic and also current pop

- Drive my motorcycle

- Go on long walks ( /- 2 hours)

- Visit the movies

- Have a craft beer or a whiskey on a nice café terrace

- Play games (any kind), video games/board games

- Create video games

- 3D printing and painting my prints

- Reading (fantasy/thriller/crime)

- Staying up-to-date on current tech, like VR, AI etc

- Staying up-to-date on the worlds' progress in medical fields, space, engineering

- I also don't mind staying at home and just binch a good Netflix series together

Even though I have a lot of hobbies and ways to fill my time, I am missing the warmth of a woman. The hugs, the walking hand-in-hand, and the kisses. Someone to look into her eyes and float away on the warm feeling of being in love.

I'm 6ft, bald and beard, overweight and working very hard on that (maybe we can motivate each other?). I've been told (by other people than family) that I have a pleasant face to look at. I have one tattoo (on my shoulder, which I have since I was 24) and I'm planning to get another when I have reached my weight goal. I don't smoke, I do vape which I intend to quit at some point.

People close to me describe me as kind, respectful, warm, caring and open. I'm humorous and really love to laugh, but never at your expense. I'm always learning new things, and I like to think I'm intelligent. I'd love to be able to talk about anything in our universe (or beyond). I'm on the spectrum (ADHD), but you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you. I can take on any crisis head on and I won't panic. I'm also not afraid to shed a tear after the situation calls for it.

I'm agnostic and open to all kinds of experiences and religions.

I'm looking for a woman who is kind, warm, honest, direct. I'm looking for a partner to spend life with. That means the good, and also the bad. I want to talk about what you like, what you want in life, what troubles you. I will listen when you need me to listen. I will help when you ask for help. I will speak my mind. If I'm feeling good, I will let you know. If I'm not ok, I will tell you. I want to create happy memories and experiences. I want to fall in love.

I don't have preferences in skin color, ethnicity, hair color, religion, weight etc. I only prefer you not being taller than I am. I'm a sucker for longer hair (shoulder-length or above) and I love seeing a woman in dresses or skirts. And if you have seen my hobbies, I expect you to be able to take a long walk with me, or to be able to engage in an active activity.

Last year I got divorced after finding out my ex cheated on me. Regardless, I do not have trust or control issues and I'm doing therapy (my work provides this for free, and mental health is just as important as physical health), but I am already in a good place. I have no financial burdens to the mother of my children, I only have to see her when dropping off the kids and I don't interact with her about anything other than our kids. I haven't dated since the divorce and I'm not active on any OLD platforms. I don't know if this matters, just putting it out there.
