I know I’m older than most (from what I see), but I thought I’d give this a shot.

I’m newly discovered as a grey-ace. I’ve been very happily single for over 4 years now, only I just recently learned how that’s possible. I had no idea there were other people who feel like I do!

I have actually loved before in an intimate relationship. I have two adult children (and two grandchildren!), my daughter (21 years old) still living with me. I have also been in several long term relationships with women. I would say I am biromantic, but have far more experience with women, having desperately tried to be allo for so long.

I’m a newly retired career Field Training Officer Paramedic. I love dogs (though my daughter is working her two kitties’ magic on me), all of nature (I am Pagan and honor the seasons, the moon, and Goddess). I enjoy things like camping, walking trails at parks, swimming, and playing board and card games.

I mentioned my two adult children... Family is everything to me. We get together at least a couple of times each month for game nights. When I was a single, young mom 20 years ago, I cut TV from our lives, filling it instead with books and games. It’s a decision I’ve never regretted, and my children still choose to not have regular TV, although we all enjoy Netflix and Hulu.

I love reading (huge bibliophile here!), word searches, hidden object finding, coloring, acrylic painting, and crafts. I just took up the defunct subreddit r/greysexuality, and am the new moderator there. And I’m very active on r/RandomActsofCards! I love writing messages to people and sending cheer!! I also enjoy movies and creepy or horror things. Cooking and baking are great fun, too!

I have a wacky sense of humor, probably from too many years working in a firehouse! This is especially true when on road trips, shopping, or sitting around a bonfire!!

But I miss having a close connection. Someone to message randomly and often or call and talk with about any and every thing. I crave that kind of closeness and intimacy. I’m looking for another ace who would like to build a relationship with sharing rambling thoughts (it has not gone past my noticing that I’m doing just that at this very moment, but I want to get this out there)... and long emails and talking till all hours of the night while nibbling snacks like animal crackers... maybe even someday getting together and creating mayhem between evening “kitten piles”!

Anyway, age doesn’t matter. However, if you’re under the age of 32, you’re likely going to hear my Mom voice from time to time -and get unsolicited advice, too. And as for male/female, I’m leaving that up to the Universe. Don’t be shy. Let’s make some adventure, shall we??
