Hi... let's cut to the chase. I am an older independent woman who can look after herself. I am involved in the community and am passionate about volunteer causes. I like articulate intelligent men who can communicate well. Please no one liner texts. I love going to the movies. I am a walker. I love exploring neighbourhoods in this great city. I am a foodie and a cook. I read. A lot. Mostly fiction. I do not read self help books. I do not want a man who I will end up looking after. It's important that each of us maintains separate residences and that you at least keep yours neat and clean. I do not want to hear your sad ex stories. I hope you like going on adventures. I hope you don't ever tell me what to do. I hope you like dogs. I have one - sort of. Ask me about it. Please have a decent grasp of English, especially if you were born here. I believe in the Burning Haystack Dating Method. I am looking for a needle in a haystack. A unique man among men, hard to pick out. Easiest way to find a needle in a haystack is to burn the haystack down. So if the first lines of introduction did not scare the crap out of you, then maybe, just maybe, you are what I am looking for.
