Butch1951, 73

I have been hurt a number of times in the past, which has given me some ideas about the world and people in it (ideas which I would love to have changed). The ups and downs in my life have provided some valuable experiences and the courage to resolve problems when they arise. Sometimes I look back and realize how much I have grown from my own difficulties. But lately it seems that the more I grow, the lonelier I get. At the moment, it seems quite normal. I hope that will change. Because, as a human being, I continue to look for factors that will complete my world, change it for the better. Because I know that the main things I need are care and love.

I know love sounds quite luxurious nowadays and people would laugh in my face if I told them what I am up to. but once you got to a certain period of your life, when you look back..all of your friends are either married with children or are in a relationship, and you feel left out. That's the time when you start to worry and think about the future.

I don't dream about a future as a famous or wealthy guy or owning the heart of some handsome rich man. My dream is as simple as it suppose to be - A family with someone I love and someone who will love me unconditionally, in that family we stand by each other, look after each other and always be there to support and helping each other to be the best version of ourselves, the kind of relationship that will be friends at first, lovers later, partners in the end, the kind of partners that will be together when we grow old.
I would like to meet someone who is honest, faithful with a good heart to start a friendship which may lead to something special. I don't have any idea of an ideal man because I believe everyone is unique and to love and to be in love with someone, you should not set certain rules or try to change them. Love is unconditional and if you love somebody, love them for who they are.
