Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
C. S. Lewis

I desire someone who is genuine, empathic, warm, compassionate and wants companionship. I want to be inspired by my partner's (mostly) consistent caring, acceptance, goodness and decency. To feel love fueled by mutual respect for the kind of person each of us truly is.

Looking into someone's face and eyes while talking together is a wonderfully warm way to get to know another person (I get a nice feeling just thinking about it) and I believe listening to someone lets them know how much you care about them. I love to tell and be told life stories, accomplishments and other experiences which can be very enjoyable and also helps us understand one another, our feelings and how we got to this point.

I make the most of every day. I try to keep up with current events, work in my garden, prepare something healthy and delicious, talk to my dogs and laugh a lot.

being my optimistic self, finding the most viable solutions to problems, learning how to make or do things, cooking and showing affection.

I enjoy life and I am truly interested in other people.

How are we going to get out of this economic mess we are in right now and keep our remaining rights. Or worst case, how to prepare for and survive the collapse.

Dancing, playing trivia, going to dinner, watching a movie, attending a concert or play.

I miss being in a loving relationship.

you are kind, intelligent, fun to be with, witty and truly able to love.
