I want to meet a guy who can relate to me and my situation and can add happiness, humor, compassion, companionship and inspiration to my rather work-a-day, pragmatic life. He must like to be out of doors as much as possible and enjoy all that there is in the countryside around us. He should be easy to look at and listen to, capable of taking care of himself and supporting his own way of life. I can cook up a storm when there are more than one mouth to feed. I am looking for casual dating, but it should be known that I am hoping for that to develop into something more meaningful with time and experience at this thing, they call dating, as I never did much of it. Being alone is no fun but I don't know how one gets back into a relationship at this stage of life. There are no common denominators on this website and I can't figure how to put down my everyday activities and get to the business of meeting the new guy. I'm supposedly retired but I have never worked so hard in my life. Family is important but they don't consume my life and he shouldn't be consumed by his, either. Ideal, ideal would be a displaced rancher with attentive mechanical abilities, and all the aforementioned social qualities that go along with a good relationship.
