The journey is as important as the destination. I’m a sensualist. I live well. I eat. I drink. I laugh. I touch. I feel. I’m a great kisser. I smell nice. I’ll make you want to be late for work, again and again. I can fix a few things around the house. I’m calm and collected I am easy and comfortable to be around. Simultaneously, I am a broad thinker and concerned citizen with core values. I stay abreast of what is going on in the world. My inclination is to take “the road less traveled.” I have amazing friends that are tremendously important to me. I am mildly pedantic. I am loyal to a fault, brutally honest and direct, have a child like view of the world, try to make the people around me laugh. I quote film, literature and restroom walls. I tip well. I am loyal and generous. I’ve loved; I’ve lusted, I’ve hurt, I’ve been hurt, I’ve walked because I had no other choice. I’ve made it happen; I’ve dropped the ball. I’ve led; I’ve followed. I’ve been there, I’ve done that. But, I’ve never met you.

You are attractive in my eyes. You are more intelligent than most. You are intellectually curious. You see life as an adventure and are not afraid to take risks. Sex, food, alcohol, travel and communication are all things that you are open to and enjoy without indifference or hang-ups. You are independent and strong-willed, sensual and sexy, fit and active. You speak your mind. You have a sense of fashion and personal style. Your affinity for nice things does not define you. Your glass is half-full. You will put me in my place when necessary. You appreciate my independence. You have your own friends. A relationship will be complementary to your life, not supplementary. Vanilla as a flavor is great, but as a descriptive term for your clothes, bedroom behavior, or anything about you–then not so great. “There’s nothing wrong with you that can’t be cured with a little Prozac and a polo mallet.” Then again, the 'je ne sais quoi' that makes you so amazing is indefinable and that's what's most important.

Conversation-great dialogue are aphrodisiacs like nothing else. These are just ideal characteristics but beyond these I guess chemistry will take over.

If you read all this and feel we would be a match, I am looking for someone who is available, has children and/or wants children. Not looking for a fling or someone who does not have a job.

Typical first dates have been dinner and movies, but I'm not opposed to things from skydiving to hiking. I'm not wild about going for coffee unless you can order something not too coffee tasting for me.
