Where to find a new man!

[Twace123]

I want a new man in my life who wants to just be a really good friend. (No sex!!) Who wants to accompany me to different places and enjoy things together and I have a wedding next year as my daughter is getting married and I want a partner to go with, as my ex won't be going (it's a long story, in another post), I want to enjoy my life again (I'm 63yrs) I don't get out much as I don't drive and when I do my daughter takes me to places. The main issue is I really don't know where to find him,I'm not into dating sites, you have to pay for most of them, any ideas?

It seems strange that you're describing a romantic relationship, but you call it a good friendship and excluse the possibility of sex.
Most people, most men (not all I suppose) who are looking for that kind of relationship would assume there would be sex at some point.
If it's just a friend you're after, why can't it be a woman? Why does it have to be a man?

I don't think it's a strange request, there's plenty of long term marriages and partners where there is no sex although I appreciate that may not be how they began. I also understand why you would like a man to do these things with, there's a different dynamic. I think you could join a dating site and say that in your profile, I have seen quite a few men saying that they are looking for a friendship and seeing how that develops.

There are asexual and aromantic dating sites for people who want exactly this. Try looking into them.

Or you could brave usual OLD sites and be upfront about seeking asexual aromantic close friendship with a man.

I suggest a dating website, either one specifically for non sexual relationships or an honest profile where you clearly state what you're looking for.

I've always got on much better with men than women, so this is something I'd want too.

OP when l was doing OLD all the 60 plus men l encountered were still looking for intimacy. You might do better to join a walking group, or a Meet up group where you can make some male friends and go from there.

Thanks for all the replies. I don't mind an kiss and a cuddle, but anything more than that I don't want to do it. (A small health issue).I know there are lots of men who struggle as they get older with trying to "perform " so I want the closeness of another person.

I'm looking for same as you OP so I'm following with interest.

Let me know if you find someone and tell me where they were!!🤣

🤣🤣

I wouldn’t place too much faith in setting out your requirements on an OLD profile. IME men don’t read them, however “interested” they say they are.

No shit. A woman can be just as much a friend. If your looking for a MAN as a friend with No sex. Try a gay man. Go to a gay club and look there.

Why not just invite one of your female friends to the wedding, OP?

I went on a date with a lady four years ago. We friend zoned each other straight away. We’ve done so much together as mates since. We both love the outdoors but other stuff as well. I’m actually glad it worked out the way it did.

I agree. Most people are sexual creatures. I am the same. IF I was to meet a man and enjoy his company and his personality Id probably want a roll in the hay. Id hate to think of one day; anyday actually without having to be able to stress relief without a good lay.
