My biggest question revolves around: how does what she wants in a “relationship” compare with what I want?

Excellent question/point, Dick Millet!

Some of my thoughts on what a relationship might look like have definitely evolved over the past 4 1/2 years. I’m not certain I will get a happily-ever-after either, though I believe in it for others.

For the time being I’m still putting myself out there, but that might change as I continue to, well, get older. Time will tell!

Thanks as always for reading and responding!
