Calling the Mom next Door...pickup in aisle 5!

[Repeatoffender25]

I'm the guy from the grocery story, shopping the same time you were. I glanced at you and smiled all the while thinking how I would like to just say hello.

So like a ton of people I've been married for quite a while and a gap of sorts has widened between myself and my S/O. I've had online "friends" before and to be honest I was happier, & more content overall when I had someone to talk to. I would enjoy that feeling again.

I like to go slow. I've found that if I just jump into the fun stuff, then my morality clause takes effect and everything ends before it should. So a slow burn get to know each other something is really what I'm after. If we ever do reach the "fun" stuff I wouldn't want our friendship to be all about that.

I'm very much a stay home, live in a routine kinda guy. I enjoy being on the lake, relaxing in the Summer. Maybe taking a walk in the fall, or just cozied up in a recliner in the winter watching it snow. I had someone ask me what I'm into...so I'll add that I enjoy sports and sports games, comics and the subsequent movies and series, I enjoy history. I watch a lot of tv, but not as much as some. I have a wide taste of things I like and it pretty much runs the spectrum. I crush on female celebrities hard, if you were to ask me what celeb I most resemble I would say Josh Gad from adulthood, without the glasses.

It'd be great to find a "mom next door", a pretty face is my kryptonite.

I hope you won't be timid and will reach out and say hello. I don't want to waste your time, I don't want to send you a pic or get into messages you don't want.

Just wondering, did you receive any PMs from your ad?

 

[Repeatoffender25]

I received one message, then poof.

 

[asian2015]

Hm. Then why even message?
Unless they aren't regular on lit.

Then why even message?

Great question but kind of like, "why is the ocean blue" though. She said hello and wanted to know a few details about me, I responded with some answers. She sent me one more follow up alluding to looking forward to us getting to know each other better, and that was it. Hard to find the point in all. If were only me that happened to I would question myself but I get the sense it's a pretty regular thing.

Nice ad. I sent you a pm

Give it time. Personals forum can work slow. I sometimes got an interesting message that led to some lasting connection months after the initial post. Some folks, me included depending on how years go, sometimes only check in once a month or so. Lit often can be a slow burn. Often, not always, worth the wait.

I’ll bump once more. I did get a trio of messages over the weekend, I’ll hold out hope on one but it could go either way. I’ve attempted to share my personality through this and other posts. So either the right person hasn’t seen this or maybe I’m just not “connection” material.

It takes a lot of luck and usually a lot of time.

While waiting for a PM, I'd give the chat side of the house a shot to find people to talk to or find that one person. Lotsa conversations out there to jump into. The lobby is a place to talk to a core group of people as lotsa regulars only go in that room.

 

[Repeatoffender25]

Thanks for the recommendation. I have talked to a couple there, but it's so hard to make contact for one and it seems the women I've talked to have a different mindset than the ones here. I will pop back in there though for sure. In the meanwhile I'll let this serve as a bump.
