A Catch-22

[shelterfromthestorm]

I'm a "mature" lady (will turn 70 next week) who still needs to work, which (at least on, for example, Match.com) greatly limits guys who want to start a relationship, as they are at a time where they want to travel, etc. The catch-22 is that if there were two incomes in the household, I wouldn't need to work either! But you can't very well say that in your profile. My home is large enough to have a roommate (private master bedroom and bath suite), and I realize that what I'm looking for, when I'm honest about it, is a "housemate with benefits." If it led to a lasting relationship, I'd be open to that, but while I'm still working, I don't have time to cultivate that.
