Everything from November to March has to happen inside somewhere
Looking for somebody who does not disappear when it gets cold
From November to March there is no such thing as a casual meeting here. No walk, no patio, nothing that happens by accident. Everything is indoors, planned, and costs somebody a drive in weather, and every arrangement we have had has thinned out over a winter.
We have started to think that is the actual test rather than anything about compatibility. Two of the three men we have known well were excellent from May to October and gradually unavailable from January, and neither of them was doing anything wrong. It is just that the effort required doubles and enthusiasm does not.
Thirty eight and forty one, the west end, five years open. She dates, he is at home, and he has come to the first meeting every time and nothing after it.
So the question we now ask early is what your February looks like. Not what you hope it looks like. What it actually looked like this year.
We can host in a house with a driveway, which we understand is the winning ticket on this board and which we did not fully appreciate until we moved out of a condo.
Not looking for anyone who is enthusiastic in July. Everybody is enthusiastic in July. Not looking for anyone who needs an evening to be an event, since half the year an evening is a kitchen table.
Before the first drink Replying goes through the connected platform, so nothing about you is shared until you decide to share it. Take contact slowly and keep identifying details back until trust is earned. Meet somewhere public the first time, with your own way home from it, and if you are a couple then go together. Tell someone outside it where you are going. Never send money to someone you have not met. And if a post or a reply reads wrong, flag it rather than talking yourself out of the feeling.
Before you answer a post like this
Two people wrote this together, and both of them have to say yes to you. These are the three written for the man on the other end of it.

- Vetting a couple: the screening men skip
- The first meeting: a drink, all three of you
