My Personal Ad: (Looking for) Love in the Time of Covid

Looking for a partner-in-love.

Age 52-62.

Or older or younger.

Not sure it matters any more if it’s a man or a woman, but I think it does matter. I think I’m male oriented. However, I am open minded. Actually, as I write this I’m pretty sure I’m on the man bus.

I need to practice whole-hearted and fearless loving, and so I need to find someone committed to the process of love and kindness. I say and do so many awkward and potentially hurtful things when I get scared or uncomfortable.

I love to work. I don’t really understand “hanging out”, but I’m willing to try.

Do you like to pull weeds? Can you be quiet for long stretches of time while I talk or am quiet?

Do you like to listen?

Do you like to think about what is holy and share those thoughts?

Do you like to push the limits of what is possible?

I would love it if you are bigger than me because part of me wants to feel that I am with someone who could take me if we wrestled. I’m 5’10” and weigh about 150. I may be 5’9, but I hope to god not. I like 5’ 10”. It feels like me.

I am so curious if I can be with someone. So much has changed for me in the last four years. I really like being by myself! But I also want to challenge myself to live the biggest life I can, and I have the feeling that hiding from romantic love may be a big cop out.

There is, of course, this whole pandemic thing.

Every day I kiss my mask.

And the days just get better and better.

I do look forward to meeting you.

Love,

Anne
