Hello there! Giving this thing another shot after a string of frustrating and discouraging "connections". I know, it's nothing unique for me to say I'm tired of the conversations that fizzle out after an afternoon or getting ghosted or the one-sided conversations where I'm the only one trying to keep it going. So if you're someone that isn't going to put in effort, don't bother messaging.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, here's what I'm looking for...like I said, I want someone who is going to put in the effort. I want someone who is excited to get to know me and someone I'm excited to get to know. Someone with interests and can carry on a conversation. I want someone to share my day with, share pics through the day, send voice messages, flirt with, all that good stuff. I want the good morning and goodnight messages. Basically I just want to feel wanted. Which, I think is what we're all on here looking for.

So here's a little bit about me...I'm 37, been married 11 years, and have 2 kids. I like to bike, cook, read, listen to podcasts, and watch soccer and hockey. I'm usually pretty free to chat during the weekdays but can be sporadic in the evenings, just depends on the day. I believe in being open and communicating expectations, so I will always let you know if I'm going to be busy and can't chat for an extended amount of time and will always be clear about how I'm feeling about things. I won't string you along and waste anyone's time.

Now that I've rambled on longer than I thought I would, I'll wrap this up. Send me a message and let's see if we click, and if not, best of luck to you on your search! Oh and I almost forgot...here in southern Ohio, we're getting a bunch of snow, so I thought a good ice breaker/first message would be for you to tell me what your go-to snow day activity is!
