i was off this site for a number of months. i had my first date and it
took me to calgary. no, i don't have a lot of money, but i love adventure.
it's a great story and i'll share the generalities with you, so hold on,
because it's really changed the way i'll be dating from now on...and, yes,
i have a good sense of humour...

i'm looking to develop a long-term friendship with a women who is nice looking,
bright, inquisitive, easy going, open, totally humourous (even with herself),
sensual, healthy, a bit of bohemian, honest, forthright and kind.
(is that all?)
you might have pierced the side of your nose.

i was married 15 years ago. no kids. it's not an issue.
i'm not fatalistic. i believe you can make a difference.
i'm not fastidious. it doesn't take much to please me and i'm not squeamish.
i know who i am and where i want to go.
i'm ambitious, but not in the usual sense.
i love nature. i love to walk in wide open spaces.
follow the money and you might begin to understand how the world works.
i'm financially astute. i have no debts and i even invest in the market, but materialism doesn't interest me that much.
i'm charitable. i'm active and i'm not medicated.
i'm not a 'sophisticate'. i'm very casual and low key, most of the time.
i'm not a party animal, but i like to party.
i'm very stable, dependable and loyal. i have nothing to hide.
i don't own you. you can continue to do what you want to do.
if you want to be with me - i'll know it.
i don't watch alot of tv because i'm not interested in what it's
trying to teach me. i do like dexter, pbs and british crime dramas
(eg. prime suspect) though.
i like almost all music. play a really bad quitar. i like harmonies.

if you're different from me - fine!, i'll be pleasantly surprised.
i can adapt, so don't be afraid to tell me what's on your mind.
if i like you it doesn't matter what my friends or family think.
they know me, they'll respect my decisions.

so, let's take a walk. share our thoughts and clear our minds. let's explore.
let's talk about everything. let's be blunt. let's shoot the sh*t.
let's laugh because we're way too funny. let's develop a whole new remarkable
concept of friendship - as equals. let's avoid weariness. let's be open. let's
be fun. let's wallow in the mud. let's get our minds wet. let's follow and touch our hearts.
if we connect in the mind and everything's cool let's touch.

shouldn't it be: describe what you would do on a first date:
if we connect you'll know it. you'll know it.
it couldn't matter less what we end up doing.
we might do nothing, we might do something.
if we connect it won't matter.
how's that?
