TLDR; separated/divorcing educated and adventurous woman seeks guy friends late 30s-early 40s

I have been separated for the past 3 years (not legally because that doesn’t exist in Texas) and filing for divorce but there are a lot of things to work out logistically (kids, house, finances, etc).

But in spite of what sounds like drama, I am not drama (and it isn’t drama… just a sad case of “this isn’t quite what I thought it was going to be and I tried to make it work for longer than I probably should have”).

If that doesn’t scare you off, keep reading!

I am 5’5” and an athletic 145lbs. I love anything outdoors. My dream house is a tiny cabin in the woods and my dream car is a bicycle. I value walkability/bikeability, and a small town feel in a big city. I love the country, and the woods, and the big city, and like to spend time in all three.

I am highly educated, and have a bachelors and masters degree, and then got an associates - ask me about that and I’ll gladly share. It is quite amusing to me that I got my degrees in that order.

Hobbies include hiking, cycling, camping, backpacking, running, lifting weights, group fitness classes, music, traveling, reading, cooking, starting community organizations, writing my own software when I can’t find something I like, spending time with my kids, and throwing parties. There are probably more. I love adventure and trying new things/seeing new places. I hate touristy things, I would rather walk/drive around myself and check things out.

I have been burned by two marriages so at the moment I am playing the field and not looking for a long term commitment. I am looking for friends first. I value emotional connection, and am an open book. If you ask, I will respond, even if the response is “I don’t feel comfortable answering that question.” I will respond to anyone who reaches out respectfully, and I will never ghost you. If I don’t feel like chatting anymore, I will say that.

If you got this far, feel free to send me a chat.
