Hi. I am off to my next adventure traveling the world. I will try to respond to your message after I return.

Bonjour! Hi! I’m 5’5” with long brown (depending on the day; may be blondish) hair and brown eyes. I'm not consumed by my looks but take care of myself. I enjoy athletic adventures; I like to ride a bike, go for long walks and hike mountains, camp, play volleyball or try my hand at racquetball. I'm in a new phase of self discovery in my work. I like to listen to live music (blues, R&B, Motown, reggae, latin, ...), party with friends, spend the day at the beach (loooove the beach), take day trips in the country, vacation in foreign, exotic or sunny places (Caribbean or other), read a book (biographies or historical novels), watch a good movie (suspense thrillers are my favorite, followed by historical epics/dramas), go to show at the theatre or just hang out with a good friend at home. I am very independent. I am fun loving. Naturally shy, I can surprise you at times. Although not a wild and crazy person, I am willing to explore and try new challenges (rock climbing, gliding, bungee jumping, ...). I love to travel locally or internationally.

I like intelligent and educated people who have something to offer but are not pretentious. I love to learn and hang around fun people who are full of life and who can enrich mine. Honesty and sound moral values are important to me. I'm seeking a friend (and more) I can relate to and trust, who can share my confidences and treat me and others with respect and care.

More about me: educated, multilingual, have lived and traveled abroad, do not smoke, drink socially, never married, no children and live near Hartford, CT. I'm not perfect but try to lead a decent, honest and caring life.

Ideally the first date will leave me weak in the knees, or at least eager for our next encounter. Each time I see you, I will smile. We will both grow excited to be together. And I will be able get off this site (WE'll get off this site).... I'm ideally looking to find the ONE man!!

You'll have to ask my friends.

I'm afraid to know!

Loved reading many of W. Somerset Maugham travel adventures. Currently reading Mitchner's Hawaii.

Fav movies: Shawshank redemption, Silence of the lambs, the green mile, Dancing with wolves, Schindler's List, ...

Favorite music: blues, blues-rock, some R&B. I dislike hip-hop and rap.

Love Indian cuisine, some Thai. Love spices, curry, ginger, garlic, ... Italian (who doesn't?). A great steak, shrimp, ....

There are no typical Friday nights. You may find me at home, at dinner with friends, on a date, at the opera, a play, a musical, a comedy show, or listening to a live band.

About You

(Please be so kind as to have multiple RECENT, QUALITY photos. I want to know what you look like too! Thanks.)

The short version:
I'd love to find a man who is stable, takes good care of himself physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Honesty and integrity are important.

The long version:
You have a beautiful body and soul. You are easy to talk with and can hold an intelligent conversation. Intelligence is very attractive. You are in tune with your emotions/feelings, and are able and willing to share them with your partner. You are a good listener and communicator. You have integrity. You are in pretty good shape (not a gym rat by any means!) My biggest turnoffs are smoking, uncontrolled drinking, excessive swearing/vulgarity, anger or violence, selfishness and lack of manners or morals. This should come as no surprise.

There are some key traits I absolutely look for in a partner: honest, (you hide no secrets - no lying by omission) trustworthy, one-woman man / faithful / monogomous (can I be any clearer?), responsible, caring, loving, giving, generous of yourself, compassionate, ... you fill in the rest.

I love a guy who can show affection, is not afraid to hold hands, give big hugs, kisses and cuddle. Can you be happy staying home to spend a romantic weekend? If you like to give massages, you get extra credit! Are you are fun-loving, versatile, creative, adventurous, emotionally stable and involved, financially independent, are fit and take care of yourself physically and emotionally, like to have fun with friends and keep active? Your ex’s are very clearly out of your life emotionally.

More about you: you are handsome and sexy, preferably between 30 and 46 years, athletic, slender or average build, 5’9” or taller, professional/steadily employed, educated, intelligent, active, well traveled, non-smoker, non-drinker or occasional drinker, and live within 30 miles of Hartford, CT. Ok, so if you don’t fit this description 100%, don’t give up. I try to be open minded and open to possibilities. Write me and let's see what happens! Voilà!
