Hi there. I came across your ad, and something about the way you described what you’re looking for made me want to reach out.
You said you’re looking for someone gentle, caring, older, and wiser, and that you’d be happy simply listening to someone share about themselves. That actually tells me quite a bit about you. You don’t seem to be looking for someone to rush into a role with you. You seem to want someone you can talk to, feel comfortable with, and slowly grow closer to. I respect that.
I’m 55, Dominican American, divorced, and someone who values honesty, patience, affection, and consistency. I’ve lived enough life to know that trust isn’t something you demand from another person. It’s something you build through the little things: showing up, listening, keeping your word, and making the other person feel safe being themselves.
I’m also perfectly happy starting with simple conversation. Tell me about your day, what makes you laugh, what you’re curious about, the music you like, or even something completely random that you’ve been thinking about. I don’t need you to have a hundred hobbies or an impressive list of interests. Sometimes getting to know someone’s personality is much more interesting than checking boxes on a list.
And if, somewhere along the way, we discover that there’s a genuine connection between us and that a relationship with some DDLG elements feels right for both of us, we can explore that naturally and respectfully.
So rather than giving you a sales pitch about why you should talk to me, I’ll simply ask you this:
If you could spend an entire evening talking with someone about absolutely anything, what subject could keep you talking long after you thought you’d run out of things to say? 🙂
