I'm a homebody that excels at being a staid, quiet, reliable, husband-material character that you can count on to carry you through the comfortable parts of a LTR. I'm not so well equipped to dazzle someone on a first date and definitely outclassed when it comes to providing a passionate ONS.
Finding myself in the post-divorce phase I really don't know how to navigate this new high stakes world of OLD where the slightest miscue in your texting game spells disaster. So I sat there in thought, like how Mr Bean used to do when confronted with a dilemma and did some brainstorming.
Enter my attempt to show you where I shine: meal prep. Shows my expert ability to scour flyers for deals, shop local and support regular citizens instead of corporations way before it was cool, plan a weekly meal plan with efficiency and put it all together with a decent amount of skill honed over the years - including efforts during a loveless marriage where I thought I'd save us by cooking her favourite meals as often as I could manage (it kind of worked actually). All of this display of expert adult behaviour against the backdrop of a well kept home for your judgement and approval.
While we cook, or while I cook and you listen to the story of my hard scrabble immigrant childhood, we can get to know each other, share our own story and just enjoy living a comfortable happy home life for a few fleeting moments that many of us at this age long for.
Ideally, I connect with someone with mutual compatibility and this become our weekly routine. I'm open to hearing from women of all ages but given my past I expect to have common shared experiences with someone mid-30s or older and divorced.
