"Update, trying again: I used to love heading to Gull lake with my dog ...he died suddenly. Im rather lost and not looking at activities at this time, and probably not tune in here for a while either. Obvious life adjustments needed because this empty house used to be a home". Being a dating site, I doubt I should be on here while feeling like this, its no where near what others would want from a guy normally active and lively. This is a year Ive had to make lots of changes, and a number of things are a moving target from what I can feel in my soul. IN FACT there have been a few of you who told me off for how Ive changed, or for the 'conditions' I have on my profile that I feel I need to have in place to protect myself. Im recovering and all, but in the meantime I would prefer people respect where I am at and my need to be introspective to shore things up. For the record the pet therapy society has been helping out a lot, and the people there provide wonderful support should you find yourself in a similar place some day.

Thanks to a wonderful person here I was shown a youtube video that is exactly how it is, and you should see it... by johnny reid, "my old friend"


I don't mind someone having children at all. But please please PLEASE do not introduce me to them unless its agreed mutually. A woman I fell for did so and I got attached, so did the child; that broke my heart twice.

No quitters. I dont like things started that arent finished, and quitting is NOT finishing anything, its a cowards way of not dealing with things. I have had my fill of those kind of people in this life, thanks.

If my playing paintball with friends (in case you dont share the same activities I do) means you would get jealous/suspicious/paranoid, dont even write me.

I expect SOME sort of convo first if you are putting me on your fave list, and a photo to be shared in the least, thanks and all that... its only fair.

Tango...I want to learn that sensual expressive dance.

Compassion for animals a must.

More updates: As it appears Im starting all over again this year, Im trying a life with a puppy this fall... too soon it feels... but I hope helps beat the loneliness of this place. Its taking a while to deal with the conflicting feelings about this move, but am in it now and cant see taking him back to the animal rescue place for any reason... dont be assuming this has me 'cured' and bubbly again, its not that simple.

*update*: Im not your free meal ticket... going Dutch on coffees or drinks is what I expect a first meeting to be if it has to be monetary (see interests column), but racking up $80+ in food and bevvies and pushing the bill at me, when my category says 'Friends' and its the very first meet, is crude, offensive and ridiculous. If you are the kind of woman who thinks its acceptable to do that as if we are already an item, dont message me for a meet. Yes, using an actual $ amount and event, not a mere example.
