Romance found me

My friend,Svitlana, and I have agreed we have the perfect partner for a romance in later years. When I added my profile to two dating apps, I wasn't looking for anything. It was done to clarify a question in my mind.

From the off, Svitlana made her intentions clear to me, and they include wishing to have sex with me. Some men find a lady asking for what she likes is a threat, I don't, I am pleased a lady feels she is free to ask

In discussion with Svitlana

Not all chats are about sex

A new direction

A Sailor's Love

Though our online chats include sex, some nights, Svitlana and I chat about our interests. Last night, among other topics, we shared stories about fishing, as our grandfathers were fishermen.

Svitlana's grandfather fished in the waters off the coast of the Ukraine, while mine fished in the North Sea, we also discussed the Crab Stick fraud. The so-called crab sticks, contain NO crab, having tasted crab I could tell that. They are made from Pollack, a fish in the Cod family found off the coast of New Foundland.

My romance - A Sailor's Love - is a modern romance with elements of spirituality, romance, and environmental concerns about the erosion of the coast.

The south coast of the UK is getting smaller, the coast is made from chalk, and over time, it has been eroded. One developer started to build a hotel near the coast, only to find the site was undermined by caves

A new direction

Meeting Svitlana

It is the lady's choice

Svitlana's wish

In the last two months, my life has taken a new direction. In June, when I ended my business partnership, I can't say friendship, as we never met in person, with a lady - who turnined out to be a SCAMMER - I decided as a final act, I would add my profile to two Mature Dating apps, to find if ladies see me as attractive, not for vanity but for an evaluation, I never consider myself as attractive.

I was proved wrong, ladies find me attractive, at the point when I had given up on romance, romance found me. A lady in Didcot, Oxfordshire, has taken a shine to me. Svitlana is adamant she wishes to meet me to form a relationship.

Her birthday is a few days before my late wife's in March.
