Not sure this is where this goes and I am not asking anyone here,,,rather just airing out some issues and perhaps asking advice...so that is the context of putting this here,,,
This is the issues or problem,,,I am coming to recognize that though I have been by myself for many many years i am at the point where it is becoming a real burden to maintain this place by myself, not in a financial way, but rather in the day to day practical getting on, maintaining, all that stuff...I am going into this (maybe) not for sexual relationship needs, that is not my intent or motivation here,,I want to consider a female for many reasons ..not the least of which she would be a lot more tidy than me in the first place,,and would have certain qualities that only a female could contribute ( while I am not homophobic,,I am not gay and would feel really uncomfortable with a male room-mate).
I am at an age where having a companion of the opposite sex in the household would serve both of our requirements..this is strictly a needs based situation and I want to keep this as simple as realistically possible,,,relationship issues would only make this a very complicated and messy situation,,,and I really do not want to go there..

I am still thinking this through...
