I am an individual who strives for balance between my heart, mind and soul. Creative & complex, sensual, intelligent, fun, eclectic... and romantic. Very romantic. Friendship is a must. I enjoy all things cultural, especially good music (listening, dancing and playing). Have a wide range of interests, from politics to the arts, gardening, working out, working both with my hands and my mind. Family is most important to me, especially my children, and again friends. If you view children as baggage, please move on. If you view children as the light in your life, then read on.

Very spiritual, finding myself having no patience for what 'traditional religions' have to offer (and the way in which it is offered).. Prefer instead the "live it everyday' kind of spirituality.

Enjoy living the dichotomy between creativity and structure, passion and logic, puddle stomping during a thunderstorm and listening to the silence after a snow fall. Enjoy listening to the colors within a given piece of music, and finding the music in a piece of art. And when all is said and done, I don't mind being a bit of a bad boy... if only for a few moments.

Looking for a best friend and lover -- someone who is warm, intelligent, inspired from within with respect to whatever it is she does in life, and balanced in all things. Cultured and approachable in every way. Great sense of humor. Physically attractive. As within so without... Looking for a friend, ally, partner, lover, peer, soulmate in every sense. I'll know you when I see you, as you will me.

Did I mention a sense of humor, and how that is so vital to fueling the joy between us? Sense of humor can be a tricky thing, inasmuch as almost everyone says they have one, but will we laugh at things that reveal our respective intellects, internal funny bones, our souls??

That said, I need someone with whom I can live a life of love. And being in love with you is easy. When we make love, rather than there being an ending, another door opens. And you and I walk through life, hand in hand, each of us with a quiet smile lighting each other's way. Anyone got a "Match" ??

First date .. looking for chemistry through nuance, conversation, a smile. Once we're past the having coffee/first meeting thing ... there's an Italian restaurant that serves homemade wine (bottle without the label) that goes great with the rest, and the atmosphere (if not a bit chaotic) is charged passionate
