***** hiker who reads a lot seeks same.
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." - Velveteen Rabbit
I've just joined here (April) after separating and am getting my head around the idea of dating. My initial thought is that this is an awkward age at which to be single, though looking about on here has helped me re-think that a bit. Ideally I'm looking for companionship or an activity partner or whatever one might call two people who do things together on a casual basis.
