People say of me "you've certainly been around the block"... 60s was married with two children. 70s ran my own business, Spent the 80s touring with rock bands, I have a tale to tell, but only if you want to hear it. What I'm looking for, is someone that doesn't expect me to take em to the theatre, restaurants, abroad, etc;etc; as a mater of coarse, and the basis of the relationship. I would like to find myself in the company of someone that enjoys my company, for what its worth, however. I have no needs or expectations,
I think, to cut to the chase, I will post a letter a friend of mine sent to me some years ago, maybe you will glean something from it ? maybe you will want to contact him ? ha!. ok. here it is, hope to hear from you.
(Oh! I won't be contacting you as I don't feel confident enough... But if you do, I'll be pleased to hear from you.)

I’ve become conscious of the notion that people far too seldom say what they think about or feel for each other. There are many reasons why people stay mute, often they assume wrongly that the person knows already by intuition and often we are uncomfortable in one way or another to say what we really mean. It embarrasses some of us and there never seems the right time or place.
Here goes, I love you like a son loves his father and have for a long time. I am the opposite to most unfortunate people, in that they celebrate finding a Father in a friend to fill the hole of not having had one of their own, or having had an empty fathering or worse an abusive one. I loved my father and his fathering and our time together so much that I have subconsciously seeked a continuation of it and have found it in you. You provide those same guiding dynamics and manage to do so whilst simultaneously being a mate. I am an unusual sort of bloke and can present as someone who misses a lot of what is said but I do recognise and retain the essential stuff. I am completely unintoxicated and in a clear mind state and everything hear is accuracy and truth. Fall outs and differences past present and future are were and shall be of no consequence. I have not written to you before this way and wont again as it says it all and I thank you for all that your company and council has given me and how it has helped to build my character.Tim.
