I enjoy the free time that retirement offers me, but I want to find someone to share it with. With the experiences that life brings, I have a clear idea of who I should be looking for: A gentleman who is retired, has a car and a house. These characteristics show that he is independent and has a certain order in his life.
One day, while walking in the park, I thought about what was going on inside me. Maybe I was waiting for the right time for a new beginning. With these thoughts, I decided to do some research on the internet. Social media and dating sites could be the ideal places for this purpose. I created my profile and talked about myself sincerely. I clearly wrote down my interests, my expectations from life and the characteristics of the person I was looking for.
After a while, I met a few people. Although I was shy at first, these meetings started to excite me over time. One of them started to take an important place in my life. This gentleman, who was retired, had his own house and car, was kind and understanding. The conversations I had with him made me forget my loneliness and gave me new hope.
Our first meeting was at a café. I was excited, but at the same time I was sure of myself. As we talked, we discovered the similarities and differences in our lives. Spending time with him added color to the monotony of my life. Every moment we spent together brought me a little closer to him. Life sometimes offers unexpected surprises. For me, this surprise was a new friendship and maybe even a chance for love. Loneliness can help a person discover themselves, but life becomes more meaningful when you have someone to share it with.
