Recently separated after a long and complicated relationship. So, here I am, starting a new chapter.

Work and family keep me busy, so my calendar is usually pretty full. Thankfully, my parents live nearby, which means I occasionally get some time to myself now that the kids are more independent. I would like to make the most of that time by meeting genuine people, having some laughs, and fun.

I am not in a rush and not desperate either,I know my worth. I am simply looking for uncomplicated, respectful, casual fun. Confidence is attractive, arrogance isn't.

I am naturally a little shy, so it can take me a bit of time to feel comfortable around someone. If we click, great things usually follow naturally. For now, I am interested in meeting single men or women, and open to exploring with couples in the future as I become more comfortable and broaden my horizons.

A first meeting over dinner or a drink is non negotiable. I prefer getting to know someone first, there is no expectation of anything more on the initial meet. Chemistry matters, and I think everyone deserves to feel comfortable before taking things any further.

I enjoy an active lifestyle and appreciate people who take care of themselves, both physically and mentally. I am little selective and definitely not going to sleep with just anyone.

I have already received quite a few messages, so if I don't reply straight away, please don't take it personally. Between work, family, and life, I can be slow to respond, but I promise i will do my best to get back to everyone when I can.

One favour please don't send nude photos or even face pictures. I would much rather meet you in person and see the real you. I believe first impressions are far better made over a conversation than through a photo.

If you are a genuine person looking for fun without unnecessary complications, we would probably get along just fine.
