Antique Store Browser With Old-Fashioned Values

I spend my weekends in antique stores along South Avenue looking for things other people discarded that still have beauty in them. I'm 39, a bookkeeper, and I think that sentence describes my dating philosophy too. I've been through some rough relationships that left me feeling like damaged goods, but I'm learning to see my own value the way I see value in a tarnished silver frame. I want a man who appreciates character over polish. Someone who doesn't need everything to be new and shiny to find it worthwhile. I'm not looking for perfect. I'm looking for real, with all the dents and patina that come with a life actually lived. If you're a little weathered and still standing, we might understand each other perfectly.
