Hello! I'll state right away that I am only looking for a female friend. No men, please.

I am happily married with kids, pets and all that fun stuff life has given me over the years. While my life is fulfilling, I miss having a genuine bond with another woman where we can truly be ourselves together, exploring all kinds of fun and creating our own adventures. I'm not looking for a quick hookup or fling on any level. I do not want to jump into naughty chats or anything like that. I'm looking for something real, tangible and honest. My husband is aware and supportive of my desires. I'm not doing this behind his back and prefer that if you are in a relationship, you're in a similar situation. I don't want us hiding.

Of course if we connect thru chat, I'll share more, but in general I consider myself a genuine and caring person. Given that we connect on a deep level, I'm very committed and really love the 'slow burn' of building a relationship. I had a friend many years ago and it was amazing! I know what that feels like and will not settle for anything less.

I take care of myself physically and mentally. I would love for you have a similar approach to self care. I cannot add stress to my life and prefer not to get mixed up in someone else's drama. I get that life can happen, but that's not how I want to start out in a relationship. Communication is important. You must be curious and able to hold a conversation. I have very busy moments in my life and there will be times I cannot chat as much, but I will also be very transparent about that. I also do not expect most people to be on standby waiting to chat all of the time. Our day-to-day responsibilities must come first.

Again, I envision this being a long term relationship if we find that we have a great foundation to start with.

I'd prefer that you are 30 or older. If you are in the FL Panhandle or general area, that would be great. I think having the opportunity to meet and hang out would be wonderful, even if it's not on a regular basis. For the right person, I would certainly be open to more long distance, especially if we really hit it of and can have fun sharing our lives through text with the possibility of meeting one day.

There's so much more to discuss, so if this resonates with you, reach out and let's go from there. Once we find some common ground, we will verify we are real and always happy to move off of Reddit chat when it makes sense.

Thank you for reading :)
