Hi,as you can see my name is maria,Ive been separated for 3and a half yrs and I admit happily so,all Im really looking for is friendship and companionship and thats it, not interested in anything romantic or sexual, been there done that, and no Im not gay, just not interested in going down that path again,so for those gentlemen who are looking for romance, then Im sorry Im not the one for you,so it probably not worth ur while reading on,however thanks for ur interest. To anyone just interested in friendship and companionship,Invite ur interest, I work in aged care and do afternoon shifts,3 shifts 2daysoff,6 shifts 3days off.I have 2 adult children a 23yr old son who lives half an hour from me and I see when our days off actually coincide, and a daughter 28 who lives with her partner in rockhampton and hear from now and then.On my days of I tend to chill out ( as my kids would say),i enjoy catching up with my friends,I dont have a large group of friends as Im a fairly quiet/shy person,but the friends I do have Ive known for 20+ yrs,Ilike going walks, movies, dinner, coffey. Am a good listner, which helps working in aged care.For anyone interested I have no contact with my ex,so theres no baggage from that area.For anyone interested who happens to have an elderly parent/adult child who u need to care for,thats not a problem as I have a lady friend from work that Im good friends with,and I am used to working around her parents for our catchups.So if I havent put every male out there off, and theres some one actually interested in friendship and companionship, I look forward to hearing from you,cheers Maria
