I love to read, spend time with my daughter, go for walks.
I enjoy time alone but don't want to be a hermit any longer. I'm looking for someone who can have intelligent conversation, is aware of what goes on in the world, is not bitter about women, is not controlling, has confidence but isn't arrogant. I'd like to be with someone who is generous with his affections, time, resources...in otherwords someone who will give as much as I will. I'm in transition, finding a new job, wanting to improve my life, and I would be excited to find someone who can be supportive and positive with me through all of that, and through life. I do want to have a lasting relationship founded on honesty, trust, generosity, passion, healthy communication and mutual respect. My friends and family describe me as straightforward and inquisitive, persistent, outspoken against injustices, a defender of those I care about, creative, artistic, and a "high communicator" ( I like to talk things out). I value integrity and an even temper in others.

getting to the root of a problem, to solve it
listening
finding the good in others
expressing how I really feel
being sensual
responding to emergency situations

my eyes - dark brown, and it's what people have always complemented
I'm round but sexy
I have long hair
I don't look my age ( or act it )

books - no way could I say a favorite - I read constantly, all kinds of books, depending on what mood I'm in. No romance novels though-yuck.
I think the last movie I saw that I really liked was "He's just not that into you" and I had read the book - both were great. I don't go to the movies often, but I rent them...I like independent films and foreign films sometimes, and of course I see the kid movies for my daughters sake.
I love blues, alternative, big band, rockabilly, everything except fusion jazz and rap. I love Italian food, barbeque, american "down-home" cooking that I grew up with, it's all good in moderation.

my daughter's love
self-respect
books
art supplies/writing implements
my contact lenses
claritin

What I'm here to accomplish in a spiritual sense, and what my reason is for being...(to allow my daughter to come into the world? to write a great book? to effect positive change in the lives of others? to create unique art?)

Sitting on the couch with my daughter talking about school, her issues, what is frustrating her, what movie we want to rent...
or curled up with a book, or visiting with my neighbor, or going out to dinner

I'm sad that people are so dishonest. My experience of "dating" at this time in my life has been strewn liberally with false hopes, unkept promises, doublespeak and disappointment. I deserve to be dealt with honestly, and I want to find someone who knows what that means, truly, to come into my life and enrich it. I say what I mean, mean what I say, and will treat the person I'm involved with, with the utmost forthrightness, utmost kindness and honesty, as long as they continue to show themselves to be "tellers of truth". I don't want blue skies, I don't want someone to say they are interested when they aren't. Why should we waste our precious time like that? Truth. Honesty. Veracity. Full disclosure.

you are kind, loving, intelligent, mature but young at heart, have a strong sense of who you are, and you want to have a lasting relationship founded on honesty, trust, generosity, passion, healthy communication and mutual respect.
