Seeking God... meaning... truth... friendship... love? Of course. Aren't we all? Aren't you? But many of us are too busy making a living to have a life. Not into the bar scene (nothing against social drinking, mind you) but I would prefer to meet a lady and then go have a drink rather than meet a lady at a bar. Does that make sense to you too? And have you too found that we are slaves to our libidos? It seems that "chemistry" rules when it comes to dating .... sometimes even when it comes to our choices for conversation. But I acknowledge that chemistry is important... for me too. The "Laws of Attraction" are just that, I guess....laws. See my profile and determine if we are a good “fit”. You may want to know in the beginning that I am not tall, not fat, not rich. I consider myself to be literate and intelligent, although my conservative friends often wonder how I could possibly be so liberal. I am not a hater, actually even drawn to multi-cultural relationships/friendships. I welcome the diversity that our community offers. My religious views are Christian-based although I haven't been a regular "practitioner" --- maybe we could help each other find "The Way". I have learned people can get to know each other through cyber communications before arranging to meet socially. A few years ago I would have thought that this was inconceivable but have now had a change of heart after having developed on-line friendships, one in California and one in China. Honest and safe ….but lacking in intimacy, right? Not looking for any more long-distance friendships. Like to find someone with like interests who wants to take the time to know me, let me get to know her.... and that is nearby and eventually wants to be close in body and spirit. For the immediate future I am looking for someone to share “date night” with, to enjoy doing things and going places together. No commitment required …. only good company. I appreciate that you have read this far and I will only add a few interests that you may share: dinners out and dinners at home. Movies out and movies at home (popcorn mandatory either way!). Golf (not very good but enjoy the day in the sun). Tennis (as soon as I repair my Achilles injury!) Biking will soon become a favorite activity. Travel (definitely, when finances allow). Fishing. Camping (although the last day and night should be spent at a resort hotel to pamper after roughing it in "the wild"!). Live music (Rock, Blues, R & B, learning to appreciate some Christian music. Some Classical. Even appreciating some eclectic, Asian and even Middle Eastern music. Different. Food? OK , I'll have some: Italian, Asian, what else do you have? I am cuisine-curious and will experience your favorites too. I haven't mentioned family but they are an important part of my life. We celebrate the religious holidays and the anniversary of the major events in our lives. You are welcome to share in my celebrations. Passion. It's what I find missing in life lately--- and it is NOT overrated. Sorry that I've kind of monopolized the "conversation". What are your thoughts?
