Hi there. I've been delaying this online thing for awhile. Still not sold on it. In fact, I'm not a fan of any type of technology, it dulls the mind, and takes kills the moment. With that, you can't recognize chemistry via text or chat so after a couple exchanges I'll be ready to interact live, let's find out if there's chemistry, we're not getting any younger.

My most recent long term relationship ended in divorce 2018) but wasn't all bad, as I gained an awesome daughter (8 yrs). She is with me ~2 days per week mom and I are on good terms.

I'm self employed, busy but with autonomy & flexibility. I realize work isn't everything & am willing/able to make time for a serious relationship.

In free time, I like to read, play board/strategy games, experiment in the kitchen, and find ways to be a good dad. I work out at the gym but also jog, hike, bike, walk, and play baseball. I camp & beach w/my daughter once/year. I'd like to expand those.

I'm dedicated, self motivated, trustworthy, persistent, and level-headed. Staying fit, active & healthy (which includes r & r) are priorities. I lean introverted, so space to recharge is important (for those into Meyers-Briggs, I'm INTJ).

I'd like someone who compliments me (don't have to share all interests) is relatively fit & my age or younger. I appreciate a woman who is present, If you're already "married" to your career, pet, or phone, good luck but do move on.

If you live in Eastern Ma it may work otherwise be w/in 30 min of Northampton Ma. Thanks!
