42M GTA looking for genuine connections

Dating at 40 feels like playing a video game on hard mode without the cheat codes. Add in constant ghosting, and it feels like I accidentally signed up to be a ghostbuster but I’m not looking to chase anyone with a proton pack.

I’m a dad of two great kids, co-manager at a grocery store (long hours, too much coffee, and keeping chaos under control is basically my specialty), and someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. I value kindness, respeOntario, laughter, and genuine connection. Physical affection and intimacy are big for me, but so is trust and just being down-to-earth together.

A bit about me: • 6’1”, average build, working on getting stronger and healthier. • Sci-fi, comics, 80s culture, and space exploration nerd. • Gamer at heart (Destiny 2 Warlock main). • Dog dad to Marley, my golden doodle. • I love simple pleasures: nature walks, coffee over beer, and good conversation.

What I’m looking for: someone real. At this stage in life, we’ve all been through some stuff — but I still believe in connection, chemistry, and building something that feels like home.

If you’re funOntario, kind, affectionate, and not a ghost, I’d love to hear from you. Bonus points if you appreciate dad jokes, late-night sci-fi debates, or surprise coffee runs.

I can provide pics if you can too
