My Notes edit

My self-summary

I'm a very energetic and optimistic guy who likes to laugh and enjoys being romantic (in all the senses of the word). I'm smart, sensitive, outgoing, and in the best shape of my life.

My full list of passions and hobbies is very long. So here's the short version: Yoga, softball, astronomy, piano, cooking, writing.

The right person for me will be outgoing, active, smart, funny, passionate, curious, and positive. Looks aren't everything, but they are something. So my partner and I need to evoke that body and soul "something" that makes our eyes lock and hearts beat faster.

I like imagination in romance, I enjoy giving gifts, and I love thinking of fun gestures of my feelings. I like sharing affection across the whole spectrum -- from wink to ....you know.

My goal is to find someone who feels she's a complete person who is looking for another complete person to share fun with. We don't need to be identical in every interest but we need to both want a balanced relationship with equal contribution. And as complete, secure people, we also recognize that each of us has other life obligations and each of us is entitled to some personal time, too.

What I'm doing with my life

These days, I'm a single parent to my son, 16. I spent 30 years in software before retiring in 2001. Now I've deretired to become a nutrition and health advisor.

We live in comfortable suburban house that includes a well stocked fireplace!

I'm really good at

Trying new things.
Thinking (and its evil twin "Overthinking").
Sudoku.
First base.
Cooking.
Learning.
Most technology.
Finding humor.
Saying how I feel.
Trivia.
Writing.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me

Probably the first thing people notice is my smile. I tend to find something pleasant or amusing in most circumstances.

Over time, my imagination and sensitivity seem to be more noticed (and sometimes even appreciated!).

I've also been told I have deep, penetrating eyes. (Actually, I have a deep, penetrating psyche, but my eyes are the only part of me that can't keep a secret.)

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The most moving book I ever read was Shogun. Mostly I read non-fiction -- science, history. Recently I've mixed up my reading to include an eclectic mix of David Sedaris, Holocaust topics, Dalai Lama, classics like Lord of the Flies and a biography of Rene Decartes.

My choice in music is mostly oldies (of one kind or another): Classical, 60's rock (Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, etc.), and more recently I've developed a taste for southern style blues.

Food -- There's not much I don't like. I love ethnic -- Greek, Italian, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Bohemian, classic American. (Less keen on Japanese, Korean.) I'm not afraid of hot, spicy food. (Ditto: hot, spicy women.) I do a decent job of cooking different foods, too.

The six things I could never do without

This "can't live without" question stumps me. "Things" are exactly what I could do without if I needed to. I'm a very resilient person and I could survive in a cardboard box with a bad view if I had enough food and water. And eventually, I'd make it an upbeat circumstance. Non-material aspects like humor, optimism, affection, and imagination can survive in extremely thingless environments.

If I have to list 6 things I guess I'd say coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, pizza, coffee.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

...why I do so much thinking and why so many other people don't.

On a typical Friday night I am

I avoid "Typical" as much as possible.

I'm fine with "Friday nights", though.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here

Psssst: I'm actually using one of those on-line dating thingies. Mum's the word.

If you want anything more private from me, buy me a dinner. And in a nice place -- not one with trays or sporks.

You should message me if

...you are funny, intelligent, passionate, active, flexible, considerate, outgoing, peaceful, fit, self-confident, compassionate, affectionate, disciplined, responsible, honest, reliable, attractive, curious, creative, and eager to meet someone who matches and reinforces your strengths. (And since you obviously haven't connected with someone who's that nice, you might be willing to settle for me.)
