Driving out to see my mom in NM. Generally do for Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays. It's just she and I, so we try to spend it doing fun things.

Good morning, fifty-somethings, plus!

Turned 50, four days ago. Some kind of milestone. So far, feels like a millstone. Ha ha ha ha.

Anyway, I have lived alone for so long at this point, I don't know if I really want anything other than an activity partner - that's NON-sexual for you folks scoring at home. Someone mellow, earthy and kind. Looks aren't a huge deal for me, but they're at least a little important. Would be nice to have someone to catch a movie with, share a meal, wander the occasional antique shop, spend time in the yard watching/making things grow. Hit the classic car shows, take in an occasional classical music concert, play the slots in the casinos, see the sights. Huge plus if she has her own golf clubs. Would rather she have no children - grown or otherwise, but would be okay with it if they are well and truly out on their own. Trying to find someone that can tick at least half of the boxes has proven difficult (if not impossible) on the conventional dating sites. So here I am. Let the discourse commence.
