Looking for the last love of my life

First off, I'm a real person. I don't want a night stand, a ride, or whatever else the fake profiles are after. Friendship first is very important. I'm looking for a companion, a playmate, for FUN—but one that grows into a lasting relationship. I'm not into hookups. I love getting into deep conversations, the kind where you're laughing and talking over each other! I've wasted a lot of time (ask me), and now I'm playing catch-up. I want to travel, enjoy art and nature, and I'm open to trying nearly anything. Holi Festival? Demolition derby? Run with the bulls? Let’s go. But I’m also the type to be cozy under a blanket with tea and a great book when it’s stormy outside. Yes, yes—I do love long beach walks, sunsets, and long chats over dinner. Who doesn’t? I’m a hippie at heart. A bonfire dancer, a vigorous stroller (not a hiker), and a believer that humor, especially sarcastic banter, is life’s glue. My dream home? A cabin by a river, surrounded by the sound of kids and grandkids playing freely. I come from strong Croatian roots—I'm all about cooking, canning, cleaning, golfing, fishing, and shooting. Music? It’s oxygen. I’m classically trained, but I love blues, jazz, R&B, outlaw country, and classic rock. Music has literally saved me more than once. Flirtatious? Definitely. PDA? Yes please. Spontaneous hugs, brush of a hand—for sure. I'm all about acceptance. You be you, just as I’ll be me.
