First time I've ever done anything like this. Never been in a lesbian relationship, although had a couple of brief physical encounters. Have fallen in love with 4 or 5 women (never any men-would have made my life a lot easier), always unluckily, as they have been very straight, and I've ended up hurt (and them too no doubt). Always seem to be in "denial" about it, probably due to my upbringing, in a large part. Getting on in life now, need to clear my head and see what I want from a potential partner/friend. Can't live alone/be in denial till I die, that'd be very silly of me! Self-employed, love animals - have 2 dogs (labradors) and 5 cats. Love watching movies.go running, have travelled a fair amount in my past. Pretty open minded about everything (except my sexuality it seems). I will bring baggage, but who doesn't at 45... the lucky few!
