I'm separated and want company, particularly from women with young children, like my own. I'm an old dad, started late so have a six year old boy and eight year old girl, and hoped for them to make friends too. I have tended to date (or marry younger women, but it is a secondary consideration. That Does not mean no, just not putting effort looking.
I do want a friend, someone with a child or children who would like to do activities during the day while they are at school (like lunch, coffee, movies, shopping or just hanging out watching Netflix and taste testing chocolate with noon wine)and whose children can do activities together like going to fleet way, water parks, movies. They have no cousins, so wanted some family friendships. Could be more, but not pressuring at all or trying to steer any fates, I guess I mean.
Chatting texting etc is nice too, but I'm not focused on that, but again not saying no (it would be welcome actually) and I don't short-term relationship. Not that kind of guy. I need some familiarity, real connection and at least a bit of time. I had, in the past, snuggled on the couch or in bed platonically with my female friends watching movies, but that was 25 years ago. I don't know if I could pull that off now, lol, but it would be nice to have some platonic contact watching a movie (I do NOT mean casual friend) . A snuggle buddy does not sound like the worst thing, but it's not my focus.
