My past relationships have been incredible gifts and I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned more about myself in the process of sharing someone else's life.

I have come to the conclusion that it is very important to me that my life partner have a strong desire to have a positive impact in the world (in any form that might take) and a passion for learning and life...Its also important to me that you have done some kind of self exploration (not THAT way! lol). Must also have a deep desire for intimacy...the kind that brings up fear, but once moved through brings the most incredible reward. I don't have many specifics on my list - a kind heart, an open mind, a sense of adventure and play - do you like to try new things? Do you like a good debate? Can you be mischievous? Do you like to splash in puddles?

I love to learn and I have a desire to make a difference in the world. I can be very silly and am easy going. No one has ever called me high maintenance - they have however called me intense and direct. I guess I prefer to have things on the table whenever possible and would rather have a hard conversation than pretend. Communication is incredibly important to me.

I am an entrepreneur and love to be creative and come up with unusual solutions to problems. I am very affectionate. I love to dance and enjoy art. I also read constantly, play tennis, pool (though neither very well), I am usually the comic relief for any sporting activity...but will try just about anything!

I enjoy meeting new people and enjoy the process but it also takes a certain amount of energy and fortitude to find those people you click with...whether for friends or more. Make it easy for me...and ill try to do the same for you!

How do you describe the person that you just "know" is your match? Chemistry is so illogical. I do know that he is kind, optimistic, smart, self aware and lives life full throttle. His desire is stronger than his fear. Communication and affection are natural and abundant.
