Hello! I'm a person who values authentic connections, having been separated for over a year, I've taken the time to reflect and grow, and now I'm looking for a fresh start with someone special.

I believe that the best relationships are built on a foundation of friendship. I'm interested in someone who shares this view and is open to starting our journey as friends. I'm not in a rush; I enjoy the process of getting to know someone, sharing experiences, and letting a natural connection develop.

After a significant period of being separated, I've learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a partnership. I'm looking for someone who has also navigated life's ups and downs and come out wiser and more open-hearted.

You are someone who values honesty, communication, and personal growth. You're not afraid to be yourself, and you appreciate the same in a partner. Whether you're adventurous, a homebody, or a bit of both, what matters most is that you're kind-hearted and open to building a meaningful connection.

A little about me, I'm a 5' 11" gentleman with a welcoming presence, often described as having a teddy bear physique. Short brown hair and well-groomed beard, glasses, eye color seems to shift from green to hazel, often perceived as grey by those I meet. At 50, I carry a lifetime of experiences and a successful career that has shaped me into the person I am today. At 270 pounds I'm not striving to be the chiseled older guy you might expect. Instead, I take great pride in maintaining a clean and well-kept appearance, ensuring that I'm always presentable.

If you're intrigued by the idea of meeting someone who is content, confident, and looking for a sincere connection, I invite you to reach out. Let's start as friends and see where this path may lead. Send me a message, and let's embark on this adventure together. After all, the best stories are the ones that are yet to be written.
