51 [M4F]#CA Bay Area: connection, friendship, lovers

Hello,

I’m hoping to connect with someone in the general area, close to the same age who’s also feeling a bit lonely, open to getting to know someone and seeing what might be. With some exceptions I’m available for communication most days, evenings and weekends. Ideally we chat and get to know one another, share some laughs with some serious open discussion mixed in. Maybe a little vulnerability and feelings as my heart is open to it.

A bit about me: 51, married, a couple of kids. One grown and one teen. Brown eyes/salt and pepper hair, close trimmed beard, no tats and piercings have closed up but I’ve been reconsidering that lately. I’m outdoorsy and spend time in the Sierras throughout the year. I’m also interested in art, travel, and cooking (I may or may not watch Jacques Pépin cooking clips entirely too much). In a nod to aging fitness is a priority for me but not an obsession. I’m an optimist and a bit of a hopeless romantic who’s looking for something meaningful as we pass through a sometimes monotonous moment of our lives.

tldr: Bay Area man seeks connection for chat and laughter with the possibility of meeting in person eventually.
