What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
In the past I always thought that I would be married and have kids by know. But last year as I turned 40, it really hit me that those expectations were out of sight.
I have been blessed with parents that haven’t burdened me with the pressures of continuing on the family legacy. But I do feel personally responsible for doing just that.
I am the last male heir on both sides of the family. I have cousins in England, but they are without issue and are both quite older than myself. Of my American cousins, I have been advised not to have any contact with them, under any circumstances.
It truly is left to me to see this through. Unfortunately, I have not managed to escape the poverty I was raised in. I am still quite dependent upon all of the government handouts and family assistance, as I was as a child.
In the span of time when I was working productively, I mostly squandered my money on entertainments and, at times, I fell for financial scams. Sobriety and right thinking came late in life.
Throughout, I have barely socialized with others. I lack experience with the fairer sex beyond common encounters within workplace settings.
Of friends, I have only memories from school days passed. My best friend bid this world adieu nearly 13 years ago. He at least had started a family, while I have only myself to speak of.
I suppose I need to get the ball rolling at this point. So, if anyone out there is in the market for a husband, I am available and willing.
A little about me:
- 40 year old black male (heterosexual),
- able of body, college graduate (AAS),
- drive a Nissan LEAF (owned),
- have some small retirement savings,
- operate an eBay store ($4-5k annually),
- live with parents, currently reside in North Carolina,
- originally from Washington state, and open to relocation.
Note: a prior criminal conviction limits ability to acquire regular employment.
