And, now, forward . . .
My friends will tell you that I'm unconventional, and that's probably true, but I'm perfectly capable among conventional people, and can even pass for one of them if need be -- so your friends and family probably won't question your judgment or sanity when they meet me -- but I tend to enjoy the company of people with a non-traditional view of the world, who are keen to have an out-of-the-ordinary experience this time around, who aren't satisfied with satisfactory, and who revel in run-on sentences. And shorter ones.
I'm affectionate, and passionate about everything in life, but I'm also calm, gentle, and generally unflappable. I'm doing my small bit to try to save the planet, and I'm profoundly concerned about the state of our country and the world, but I just can't seem to stop giggling. Really . . . it's a non-stop laugh riot over here.
My sons are now twenty-three, and have graduated from college. I've had them on my own since they were a year old, and made a lot of sacrifices to see them through to adulthood, but it was absolutely worth it. They're confident, happy, and successful, and are home rarely these days, so I'm now free to explore the universe. I travel often -- and I'd love to see the world with you.
I'm youthful and energetic, but I'm also stable and reliable. I'm a middle-of-the-pack triathlete, and I exercise almost every day, but I'm also really into good beer and wine, and I can easily imagine entire mornings spent in bed with you . . . talking, laughing, reading, and working on the crossword together.
You'll seldom find me without a tune in my head and a guitar pick in my pocket, but I am unquestionably the world's worst dancer. Seriously. (I am open to learning, however!) I think that music feeds the soul, and I love all kinds, as long as it's honest and made by humans.
I'm told I'm a great listener, the best kisser ever, an expert hand-holder, and give a splendid massage, and I'm prepared to back it up with action. I'm hoping to meet an affectionate woman who knows herself, who craves physical touch, who owns her baggage but isn't beholden to it, and who's ready for a deep, honest, and truly committed relationship with someone who will absolutely adore her (but not smother her).
If I had to guess, I'd say that you're active and fit, well traveled, and well read. You probably embrace your femininity but may not shave your legs or wear makeup. You might be into baking, but you're definitely not a cookie cutter type. You're likely to be affectionate, centered (but not self-centered), open to trying new things, and have lots to teach me. Your heart will sing when we're together, and you'll be able to carry the tune. You may have a wild or edgy side, and could be looking for a marathon or triathlon training partner. . . .
Oh, and as much as I enjoy playing, I don't have much interest in professional sports, so you won't have to pretend to care, anymore. Yay.
