Looking for woman around my age to text and let’s see what else blooms. I'm 38, single, monogamous, have my ducks in a row. (autocorrect did not catch a typo on that last phrase and it almost made it seem like I have a dildo collection on display lol). Latina, politically liberal/progressive and it's important.

I think instead of saying what I'm looking for this should be about what I "offer" or who I think would be into me, so let me put it this way. Did you ever watch Modern Family and think, "I want me a Phil"? A dorky, pretty good human, family person with dad jokes. No one is gonna think he's got swag or try to steal him from you, but you know he was sexy where it counts and that he was a good time. Plus he cleaned up nice sometimes. More importantly, you know he would've done anything and everything to make all his loved ones happy. He’s the minivan of men. Let’s say it’s a hybrid with awd, comfy seats, parking assist and other features that ppl wouldn’t even find out about unless they ride it ;)

That's what I mean by stimulating but boring. If dependable is boring then I bring the boring lol. But while we're at it let's have some fun. Let’s start with texting. You witty? I'll bring mine. politics? shoot. Let's go to a show/concert, catch a play, go dancing, take a class together? Maybe there’s something you’ve been wanting to do a you haven’t gone around to it. let’s grab a bite and a drink or two?

I’ll cheer for your fave team and pretend to know what’s going on, but I don't do scary movies and heights (I’m basically a chicken with a protective instinct). You can do those with your friends.

Let's see, some convo material, I'm a teacher and considering leaving it, (love/hate relationship with it; Sucks when the thing you were kinda put on this earth do leeches all the energy and time out of you). I'm a new-ish homeowner, doing a bunch of gardening (but the lame kind where I'm just trying to keep shit alive and sort out messes/come up with landscaping ideas).

Seeing as how being a new homeowner and leaving your stable job are pretty incompatible concepts, I threw another thing on my plate and I'm starting an ABA business. What else, I'm taking up my fitness journey again (used to do GZLP, HIIT, and zumba). That's my not so subtle way to let you know I'm a size 14 but that I can keep up. I will be flexible again one day dammit! Uhh.., I'm not a nature person but I'll join in the “fun" for the right people lol. I don't play video games and I know zero about anime, but I get to keep my nerd card cuz the nerd comes from within.

Most of my friends are queer/gay dudes of varying fabulousness and most of the women I’ve been with have been of varying closeted-ness.

What about you? Who have been some really big influences in your life? What do you like to do to unwind? Cat or dog person? What’s a “weird” or very specific pet peeve that you have? Guilty pleasures? Left or right side? (What’s the first thing that came to mind with left or right side?)
