Meet and greet
Hi, not sure if this allowed, but am going to try. Mature but not old guy with 2 beautiful dogs in his life, Jade and Skye, would like to meet a lady I would think in the 62 to 72 age for walking, brunch I really am not sure. About me, am told presentable, casual but scrubs up nice, 5ft 8ish I guess medium build, working, non smoking or vaping, hate both with a passion, good sense of humor am a Scorpio so spontaneous.You, well this is so hard and delicate, but guess I should put some likes, non smoker or vaping, social drinker, possibly has a family that they love, as do I, has respect for others, as do I, does not get too upset if surprised with flowers. This really is very difficult, but have just moved into the bays so how does one meet like minded people. I am English, I have a lovely little rented property, the 3 of us are real happy so should anyone maybe feel a little adventurous please make contact.stan.freeman@xtra.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
