I’m looking to meet someone to talk about life and get to know each other. I’m mid 30s and have been in one long term relationship of 10 years, but no children. That ended during Covid like a lot of things. I live in a relatively small city and find it more and more difficult to find friends, let alone someone to make a meaningful connection. Everyone our age is married and having their family lives. Just not happening for me and that’s very isolating. I can’t relate to parent and kid talk for more than 5 minutes. So that’s why I’m reaching out. Someone whose life isn’t 100% surrounded in kid talk. I would love to talk with someone who is kind and understanding that might be in a similar situation at this part of our lives as I am. We can talk about what makes us us. What makes us happy and what we enjoy. Get to know each other through sharing stories. I’d especially love to learn about a different culture and country. I’ve traveled a fair amount in my life. I’ll tell you where eventually, but I spent two years outside the US and that was a really fun time. I’d like to travel again in the future. It might be fun to meet each other one day.

I’m kind, empathetic and very open minded. Im mature and emotionally intelligent. I have my struggles like we all do, so mental health is very important to me. I’m very much interested in science and all things nature and space. I appreciate really deep conversations and open mindedness. Im pretty smart and like to learn about the world through history and science. I live alone, and have for years. I have a cat. Looking for a second cat to add to the mix. I have honey bees as a hobby and soon to be chickens. I have a small home built in the 1930s that I take care of and improve on by myself. Projects are always happening to my house. I like gardening and having fresh food. I like to think I have a pretty wide world view and not the typical outlook many of my neighbors seem to share. I’m not sure extreme and feel like I’m a normal regular person who wants everyone to be happy and who they are and living their best lives. I am teaching myself how to cook and I’m getting pretty decent at it. I’m starting to explore different cuisines to attempt. That’s something im getting really passionate about I’m also getting into physical fitness again. So nutrition is an important aspect to me. I aspire to get as fit as I was at 25. But I also like my beer and herb on the regular.

I get along better with woman than I do men. I’m not looking for romance or falling in love or anything, but the possibility of a connection is exciting to think about to be honest. I am someone who messages a lot and I think about what I’d like to say before I send it. I think about it.

I’d love to talk with someone regularly about life and happenings in our lives. Learn about someone new. Take a look at how different and alike our lives are. I think regular messaging and the occasional video call would be exactly what I’m looking for. Email/messaging/video calls/snail mail would be fun. I’m a very open and honest individual. It doesn’t take me long to open up and share. I’m a great listener I’ve been told. I’m observant and attentive in my everyday life. I’m a nice person too. It’s really hard to describe yourself in detail all at once. I’m personable but it’s an uncomfortable thing lol. I hope we can start getting to know each other and build a friendship
