About Firststeps

Firststeps is married and is seeking females for friendship or a casual relationship.

Hello potential new friend,

The people I am most interested in are those who read profiles all the way .. ie from the start ( and if they get past that) to the finish .. Why ? Starting chatting without doing so , only to find out that “i wouldn’t have spoken to you had I known…(what was in the profile anyway)” seems silly .. (especially if the profile is honest and upfront) .

So…if you have 60 seconds or so of reading time, buckle up.

1. I am a bit of a mix of things. .. a little shy to start with but I can chat for England when past any nerves. I am capable of reading a recipe so can cook decent, edible food. I like an occasional beer and watch football. I AM capable of remembering to put the loo seat down for you (but sometimes forget to). I am not a dancer myself but DO watch Strictly now and then and I would love it if someone could teach ME to dance.

2. My location? Southern Hampshire… it’s only an hour and a bit to get there though so I love to go to London . It is a great city for visitors ( music, sport, theatre, history, museums, comedy, architecture and art galleries etc). . Pp Anyone in London, or who enjoys occasional visits there, feel free to respond, just as much as anyone local.

3. Other stuff I occasionally indulge in, other than visits to the Capital ? Cinema,live music, swimming, theatre , mooching around art galleries and anything that keeps my brain active ( WWF2, puzzles, Wordle etc). . If you have one, or love dogs, we are likely to have at least one common interest .

4. What am I looking for? Good question! Friendship is a non negotiable starting point and whilst I am NOT looking for 24/7 or anything permanent, I am not looking for one offs either. Even if I see them on just an occasional/infrequent basis, I want to keep friendships going once made. Distance might limit the frequency of ‘ in person’ meetings but chat has no geographical boundary limits, can be done at any time and has potential for laughs, careful thought and even a bit of flirty banter . I guess I am looking for a ‘serious friendship’ , at least as a starting point.

5. When considering friendship i don’t think about age, shape, colour, income, relationship status or disabilities . I think about humour, attitude, self awareness, intelligence and ability to make me laugh or think. if it gives you a secret inner smile knowing that you might be capable of disrupting my hormonal equilibrium then it is quite likely that i am going to be interested and/or we might get on.

6. The idea of a gal pal with whom some ( or all) of chat/banter, having a coffee with , flirting , giggly teasing and taking the hiss (typo) out of each other can take place, not necessarily all on the same day , but in and amongst regular or ‘serious’ conversation, sounds nice. When working it was mostly in female dominated areas . It IS possible to have opposite sex mates ( even if you secretly fancy them)

7. Health considerations and having to acknowledge the fragility of life and its uncertainties are partly responsible for this profile so I am trying to ‘ carpe diem, carpe noctum, carpe omnia ! ’ a little more before it is too late .

8. If you are looking to develop new interests perhaps looking to add occasional male company to do stuff with, or even perhaps to make a new ‘ boy pal’ chat buddy, feel drop me a line. A quick chat (and careful read of my profile ( including status) ) will soon establish if there is any click potential.

9. i am trying to remember that Life is a one way trip . Are you ?

Have fun whether i hear from you or not ( I hope I might)
