So…
dating is hard.. no, stop.. dating is easy.. but.. FINDING someone to
date? THAT’S hard. It is more difficult the older you get, when
the looks you once had packed their bags and high tailed it out and
you have *caveats that have to be addressed before even getting to
what, I hope, is the good stuff.
All about Me, good and bad, can be found here:

You’ll get photos, a cursory introduction to Me and more.

Or read on below

About Me: My name is Christopher, but Chris is fine. I am 51 years
young. Currently residing in Holt, Michigan but SO want to move out
to the East Coast. I am technically married, but divorce proceedings
are under way and it is amicable between the ex and I, so no drama.
Just know that since we had four dogs together, and shes a groomer,
she still grooms them all for free, so we keep in contact for that
and a few other domestic things.
My age range for dating is 18-55 (flexible above, NOT below) My
age range for platonic friends is infinity and beyond. I am very
rusty at the dating process, anymore, so.. patience!?
Now onto the good stuff. I have various interests and hobbies,
passions and focuses.
My humor is quirky, dad-joke and pun-centric. I can be a bit dark,
I can be a bit weird but it’s always with respect and I enjoy the
reactions I get; the laugh, the groan or the eye roll.
I love to travel. I love road trips but I hate freeways.. the back
roads are the best… if my destination is three hours away, I’ll
gladly take eight hours to get there. The things you find along the
way is what makes it an adventure. Taking my three dogs on a back
road drive is something I also enjoy. I have gone camping twice and
enjoy it but I do not have the supplies. I love the mountains and
rolling hills. I enjoy going to parks and other public places to
explore.
I love the water. I could spend a day at a beach just swimming and
chilling. I have never fished but if you do, I will watch and learn.
I want to go crabbing in the Chesapeake bay and boil my own seafood.
I love sushi, but a good steak is always nice, as well. Are you a
health nut? I will take advantage of that to get into better shape
for you and Me. If you exercise I will join, but self motivation has
been down since the split.. again, patience?
I enjoy color and design. Architecture, the way houses are
designed (want to build my dream home with a lot of various tastes).
I enjoy learning the history and etymology of words, as well as the
source behind the reason things exist. The history of locations, as
well.
I enjoy going to the theater, both film and Broadway.
I like NASCAR, but prefer to go to short track for live races. I
like football on a Sunday afternoon. I watch WWE. I don’t focus
much on any other sport unless it’s live, in which I will go watch
just about anything. Except golf, sorry.. no thanks.
I sleep on my side, and I am told I am a soft snorer. I love to
cuddle until the moment it’s time to sleep then I do enjoy a little
space since I may toss and turn occasionally.
I can be a bit OCD and I like an organized and clean home, but I
can get a bit lazy from time to time.
I do not smoke or do drugs and I just can not date anyone who
smokes anything. Sorry. Edibles are okay if not a go-to for
everything, every day. I do drink casually.
I am an Atheist. I respect religion for the most part, but only if
I’m respected for my choices, too. I find that respect is very
powerful in a good relationship no matter the level it is.
I do, however, love the idea of ghosts and spirits and get
goosebumps in spooky places, will visit grave yards and ‘haunted
houses’ without a second thought.
I try to not offend, nor am I easily offended, but I will stand up
for myself against assholes. If you get easily offended or you
misinterpret things quickly, we may not work well.
I have a firm, rooted belief that everyone should be able to be
whom they are, live their life their way and not be subjugated to the
wills of others… .except in certain ‘adult’ situations that are
mutually desired.
This leads to sharing that I identify myself as moderate liberal
and sadly over the past few years, voting choices have become as much
as a deal breaker as anything else in a new relationship. It isn’t
that you can’t be a republican but debates need to be civil, mature
and adult.
Also, I believe in being open and direct, to not play mind games
or expect the other to figure out what we mean. Flirting and teasing
is wonderful, but if we want a new step to be taken, we should be
comfortable and free to express that desire. I do NOT take subtle
signals well. Want me, tackle me. It’s pretty simple.
I have a big heart, I will sniff at a sad commercial, I will pick
up a stray dog and see to it that it is safe, I will open the door
for you, I will listen to you cry if you need a shoulder mine is
there. I will sometimes blab, I will sometimes sigh in frustration. I
will burp. But to those I call friend or lover, I am loyal, honest,
sincere and dedicated.
I am human and mistakes and misunderstandings should be worked
through, not a blockade.
I am okay with LDR as flirty friends. I am okay if you have many
friends and I am but one who is casually messaged. However, please..
don’t ghost me. Just say “not feeling it” and that’ll be
that.
On adult matters, just know I am very open minded and vanilla is
just one flavor to taste.
If you actually read to this part, and there’s even a spark of
interest, give Me a chance to see if that spark can be nurtured into
a flame.
I only ask that if you do respond; a good paragraph of who you are
and why you replied would be nice. Scammers are lazy and start with
‘Hey, Hi, or wazzup!?’ I probably won’t reply to those.
Peace!
