Friendship vs Romance - Finding What You Need
Defining the Relationship
At this stage in life, you make the rules. You don’t have to marry. You don’t even have to live together (LAT - Living Apart Together is a growing trend).
The “Activity Partner”
Maybe you just want someone to go to the theater with or play golf. That’s valid. Be clear about it in your profile.
Companionship
Someone to have dinner with and talk to. Intimacy might be emotional rather than physical.
Knowing what you want saves you from heartache. Communicate your expectations early.
