Unfortunately, I liked my independent life of travel a little too much and it wasn't until much later in life that I decided it was time to find a wife and have a family. By the time I was ready to find a wife and have a family, most of the women I was interested in thought I was too old for them and were not interested in me. I had many opportunities to marry and had a few girlfriends over the years but they all got tired of waiting for me to settle down and we broke up eventually. I wish I had that part of my life to do over again but unfortunately life does not make allowances for "do overs." My greatest hope is that somewhere, somehow, I can find someone attractive and educated such as yourself to over look my age and give me a chance to have a family. I would be very happy to have a good wife and a child and I wish to spend all my remaining days with them. Do you think I am being unrealistic at my age? My friends all think I am crazy to want a child at my age. They tell me to just find a girlfriend and forget about the marriage and family.
