** if you click "yes" on the match part, send me a note. Like most here, I'm a free member & won't be able to see who it was. Let's make it easier for both of us. Not interested in anyone older than myself. Also, I DO NOT TEXT until I know you. If that is your idea of talking, keep walking. AFTER I know you, limited text is okay. I guess people don't want to talk anymore is because it'd show that they are not who they claim to be. Divorced over 10 years, so not attached in that way at all. have 2 kids (32 & 33), One of which lives with me. And we have dogs we got from shelters. Must have a sense of humor. Also must be willing to take things slow & see what happens. Also a dog lover preferred. Music, I like older rock & metal. Not a drinker, but don't care if you do as long as it's not to excessive. Even a pretty good cook, ask my kids -- lol. Not a fan of the endless email. If you're not willing to meet or at least talk on the phone after a reasonable time, don't bother. Yes, I understand & agree it is wise to exchange a few emails first. But unless you actually talk with, or meet someone, do you really know who you're dealing with?
