Loverofanimals, 58

I am a "young" 42 year old. I am looking for friendships - male or female. I love animals and am currently weaning myself to a strictly vegetarian diet. It would be great to make a friend that can provide food ideas and anything that promotes healthier food choices. I love animals and care about the environment. I have fallen in and out of being a vegetarian but it is more fulfilling to me to be one. I need support as this area in particular does not promote the direction I am seeking. I also love alternative music, jazz and R&B, reading, working out at the gym, taking walks outside in the park, occasionally going to the movies, hanging out at coffee shops. . . I recently got out of a relationship and have spent way to much time focused on that and have lost touch with friends or any type of social life. It's been my decision to take a break from the dating scene and get back on track again. . that's why I am seeking a friend - someone who leads a busy life but has some time for friendship.
