I appreciate it when they say right up front that they're looking for marriage. Tells me right there I don't have to read any further and can go on to the next profile.

Here,Here!!

I bought myself a gold pocket watch the week my divorce was final. I have retired from marraige after 2 of them lasting a total of 20 years.
Been there, done that. Don't want to go there again.

Amen to that Lex..

It sure hasn't scared off any of the many people writing to me.

That is most likely because at this point in my life, I am being my most genuine self and looking to find my best friend and lover - a companion - most than anything else. Potential mates can sense that.

Yes, I'm going to do the right thing for me and mine. That takes a bit of time (not too long!) and careful consideration. I'm not turned off to marriage, but open to it. I'm not invested in "a relationship" at all costs - but I want potential partners to know what my mindset is. Seeking the best person more than the piece of paper.

I r want marriage
