1st, the baggage: Divorcd--and learned from it I hope. And, well past the emotional baggage (as is she)..

Still reading? that speaks volumes...

Me:
- young 40 something and tall (but not feet-stick-out-of-bed, duck-feet, freakishly, gulliver-like tall).
- sandy blonde, attractive (not often mistaken for Brad Pitt or Pierce Brosnan but similar vintage; and, no visible "hump" or tendency to frighten small children or meek barn-yard animals when approaching)
- successful career - dedicated, responsible, fun to work with; but scaled back 2 be proportionate with personal life
- successful relationships (notwithstanding my 1 big flop which I am not proud of, and, have learned from!!!)
- quiet, thougthful and reserved; yet canoften "take over the room" when required, opinions to share when appropriate, great Abbott to anyone else's Costello
- enjoy my quiet time
- believe in tenderness
- chronic abuser of quotes, brackets "( )" and "..."'s. (but you wait and see...it will be the nouveau literature once we get over this Harry Potter blip)

You could be:
- independent, self sufficient, comfortable in "you"
- active, energetic, seek out the new experiences
- room for the "boy" in parts of your life; but reserve a certain part for just you.
- intelligent, love to laugh, sometimes need to cry, up for a challenge
- would kill before giving up those favourite pair of jeans or sweats; has been known to "kill" in that favourite "little black dress"
- can be a tom-boy; has not lost the feminine woman in a galvanized, androgenous world.
- will not let me always get "my way"
- children optional but a valued accessory!
- great conversation; listens even better
- the one person at the****ail party everyone wants to meet (I will let you decide the reason why...)

Still reading? Hmmm. You are worth the effort!

maybe, just maybe...you can be convinced to enquire a little further....!!!!!!!

has to involve the waterfront, or, theatre, or, comedy (anything in the arts)...drink to start the convo and enjoy exchanging anecdotes...after drink and more dialog...or if you are game a salsa club in the Annex.
