My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand... ~Thich Nhat Hanh. I walk my own path with little interest for temporal trends. I obey my own sense of what is important. I prefer European charm and values to our North American culture. I can be attentive as quickly as dismissive depending on what I am dealing with. I speak my mind passionately but as a rule tread softly and always with kindness. Dating, to me, should be fun, fair and respectful. Chemistry and a sense of adventure are two qualities that turn my head. I prefer red to white, warm pool water and cool lake currents, campfires with friends and wine, and perhaps above all, open myself to optimistic, hard working people. PS Please do not take it personally if I do not return a message. I will for sure not respond to those outside my age range by a few years, those who are married and those who are looking for an activity partner only....but I wish you well and hope you catch the brand of fish you're looking for!

A first date should have no expectation.
