I asked a female friend, "What would you say to your friend if you were going to set her up on a blind date with me?" "He's caring, intelligent, a good conversationalist, a bit shy, but very warm hearted," was her reply. She's also the same woman who helped me discover I have a few kinks. I like to read and write, and am working on a couple of ventures so I don't have to work for anyone else any more. I have been getting into better shape, and I love the outdoors: walking, hiking, and am looking into getting a bicycle. I'm also willing to try just about anything else outdoors. I'm a foodie. I like concerts and live music, any kind, anywhere. I'm excited we can go see movies again. I like an evening out for drinks with friends. An evening in with a movie or a YouTube fireplace video while cooking for each other or take out is also great. I'm divorced, a little over two years. I work swing shift, so some creative scheduling may be in order. I'm looking to meet some one for casual dating, friends, friends-with-benefits, or a relationship. We'll see where this takes us. I won't say that I'm looking for marriage, but I will say I wasn't looking the first time, either. It just developed. Let's just meet and see where the winds take us.

My Ideal Person Besides having your interest aroused from the above...

My ideal woman is open minded and willing to try new experiences. I've recently discovered/rediscovered an interest in BDSM, and would like to learn and explore more in that area.

I would also like to try sex in the outdoors. At least while the weather permits here in NE Ohio I'm sure ten different people would give that ten different ratings on the kink scale, but I wanted to include my interest here. I'd give it a five on a scale of one-to-ten, BTW.

And finally, my ideal woman won't ask for gift cards after exchanging a few messages. I've tired of that on Instagram, nd am hoping to avoid it here.

Have you ever had cybersex?:
I've tried it, but it's just not the same.
