sixty one and a new part to my life

I Would Describe Myself As

Older retired guy, who understands that sitting on the sofa and waiting for something to happen is not a good plan. Had a great straight roommate for 33 years, my golden retriever for almost 15 and worked at a company for 37 years... now it's time for another part of my life. So I admit a little fishing is involved but can not think of another way of finding what I want. I started this a year ago. Turns out a lot of really nice people are out there. In fact, a lot of help deciding what I want. Not a lot of changes, still do not want to have anything think their expectations are the same as mine, if there is any doubt please ask. Did the bar thing in the late 1970 early 1980's the least rewarding, most depressing unsecessful way of meeting any person I have ever seen. I found it's nothing but looks, looks, looks, with people, mostly co-dependent especially finanically. Then there is the drama... emotionally draining. and a waste of time Went to work, found out a lot of gay men what just what everyone wants. Well, I am way to late to have a marriage, kids, learn to play the sports that I was always absolutely terrible so I have never enjoyed watching and as I get old have less and less patience with television and movies. So in retirement I wanted to work on maybe some voluteer work. What has surprised me is how aggressively I have gone after my bucket list this year. Last year it was a 1953 airstrem and now this a friendship, gym buddy and someone that fines it fun or at least funny in the bedroom. Continue working on my house, (a train wreck,) my old Airstream and learn to read books again. I know I have missed out a lot not being in the gay community for the past forty years. I want to do new things... and want to make sure being more gay is not something I miss out on completely. I fixed most of my emotional issues about 18 years ago after finding out that I'd been in depression for about 20 years and was having panic attacks so bad I was checking myself in to ER. So my old roommate understood, and he was willing to try to teach me how to play baseball, swim, Of course being 30 or 40 years behind in learning this wasn't sucessful but I tried. Last motocycle was a Honda CB1000. Too big, Too fast, and since I have no athletic ability a challenage to ride, but I loved it. That would be a good example of me trying to do something out of my comfort zone. Jumping off a bridge on a bungee cord, sorry can not do, and not even going to fake it. At the same time, I am not stupid... scared of water so I don't try to scuba dive. So, I am looking at a lot of new things and dating is certainly new.

An Ideal First Date Would Be

talking and finding out who is like me, and kind of having the same direction. Finding out, like the older I get the more I find out there's a lot of people like me... but usually not gay. All my straight friends would say sex isn't a must on the first day.. but I can not think of one person I've know that sex wasn't included in the first day if it was considered successful. if things go right... maybe a little sex. I've been out to eat a lot, but still like it... not into going to clubs, was ok when I was drinking 20+ years ago...

I've Always Wanted To Try

Be able to be more causal about life. Not take life so serious and learn to not worry about what kind of impression I make. So sex is the latest and unexpected FUN thing I want to get involved with... Funny something everyone else takes for granted has seem to pass me right by. I rremember one of my first jobs, and one of my first bosses took me out to lunch and read me like a book. He told me not to falll in love with the first time I had sex. Well I fell in love with straight people so sex was never a problem... never had it. And when I would try with gay people it seemed there seemed to be nothing but drama, strings, and like my athletic abilities, being sexy was never a strong point. No big deal but just one of the things I want to be adventurous about but without regrets and drama. On the next question... I don't have any friends locally and haven't really looked for any in the past 12 years, my roomate, golden retriever, and work kept me busy. And I just did not caree enough or energy. Now I know it's time to change that... When I had my 30th birthday I had about 70 people there... 40 good friends, all straight moved on got married had kids. and all of that. SO now I want to find out ways to have friends... someone to go out to a democratic meeting, maybe a concert at UNLV or someone that enjoys getting a tan.

My Idea Of Fun Is

Being comfortable. Never was a thrill seeker, but did enjoy backpacking years ago, had a CB 1000, and like I said, scared me but it was fun. Learned to water ski, which is no big deal but water scares me... So now, not jumping off of bridges, but I want to find out if sex is fun. Pretty amazing I know... 62 years old and I don't even remember what it was like. I had so many issues I don't think I even came close to having the fun I should have. Now... I don't know if it's going to be fun or funny but either way it will be a win for me. Going to the Gym, same thing, fun or funny I still want to try again And fun for the other person too because you really are dealing with a "oddball" LOL So what the heck.

What Do You Look For?

Some one who really knows who they are and what their abilities are. No sugar coating about themselves or life. Someone who isn't as judgemental as I am, and with some of the same thoughts about life as I have. No drama, no co-dependent... good friends and they are priceless. BUT sex has always been something everyone else gets,.. and like my athletic skills causes me to be pick last so now "we" going to work to change that. And the gym... oh yes, that's a hugh long term benefit...but I guess I need a buddy on this one, like sex..
