Summary
Man around 40 is looking for a buddy with whom he can have a good conversation and with whom he can let off steam every now and then.Detailed description
During my meeting with H., I noticed that he is very open about why he is looking for a buddy. It appears accessible and tidy. H. is a single, working father whose trust in people has often been damaged in the past. And although you wouldn't think so at first glance, it can happen that H. clams up and withdraws from a conversation or situation that he does not feel comfortable with. He works 4 days a week, he says, and is off on Fridays, but he has regular appointments. His son often comes home from school mid-afternoon and he wants to be there for him. Their bond is good. H. likes to play football and go out. Precisely because he has many responsibilities, he likes to be able to relax every now and then and share with someone what he is struggling with. He is looking for a female companion, someone who is quiet but easy to talk to. The contact moments can be flexible, but H. prefers meetings at the weekend or on Monday or Wednesday evenings.
