I'm a married man who, to put it briefly, lacks that spark of passion and affection at home. That eager need to hear from someone and a persistent desire to see them again. That genuine feeling of closeness in which we converse, share, and truly come to know one another. all of which result in more loving and passionate sex. I miss that a lot. I love to kiss and can be quite affectionate, I hope you do too.

I'm a 38-year-old white man with blue eyes and blonde hair. I'm 5'10" and 150 pounds, with a slim, athletic build—think soccer or swimming. I have a graduate degree and am very well educated. I like to talk about a wide range of subjects with others; I'm a naturally curious individual. I adore the outdoors and reading. Though I'm usually more of a homebody, I do enjoy traveling, especially to historical and/or scenic locations.

My wife and I have been together for 14 years. I live in a roommate situation but have no intention of changing our circumstances. However, I want to live and reignite that fire. I'm looking for a long-term, committed relationship. a person with whom I can truly know and develop a connection, since it enables all of the previously mentioned. Personality, conversational skills, and open-mindedness are more important to me than appearances. More than the body, the person is what draws me in. I do, however, respect a woman who values her health and would be up for a hike with me. Although I am open to women of all ages, I do prefer mature women, as my wife is older than me and we generally connect better. I'd prefer you be married or attached in a long term relationship.

This would be more of a slow burn scenario to get to know one another, but I also don't want endless messages. It would be great if we could get together in person soon-ish to see whether we click. In an ideal world, you have a decent amount of availability. For me, weeknights, weekends, and occasionally weekdays are ideal. It would be fantastic if we could go on a quick trip together, but that is getting a little too far in the future.

I'd love to speak with women who are trying to connect in the long run and are in a similar circumstance.

All set for that sudden spark.
