I moved to Tampa from Maryland last year to return to college, I am persuing a degree in Professional Photography and am starting over after a long career in retail management. I am independent minded-do not believe in labeling myself by joining a political party or religious group. I was raised going to private Christian schools but now identify myself most closly to Buddhist/Taoist philosophy. I guess I am an open minded agnostic, I do not know what the truth is. I love dogs, being out in nature, seeing new places, learning all I can about a variety of subjects and spending quality time with those I care about. Music-my favorites are Sting and Chris Isaak. I am interested in psychology and am facinated by why people behave the way they do. I sometimes feel like a magical girl in a non magical world and am seeking a non-sterotypical man to be my best friend and lover for life. Someone who I can have long conversations with about anything and everything who is not obsessed with sports, likes to look nice but is not arrogant. Ideally i would like someone who is also interested in photography and seeing the world with me. Someone who is loving and very kind. I value people who are laid back and are wise, intelligent, funny and have class.
Please do not send messages that simply say 'hi' that is ridiculous the right person for me is someone who can compose a thoughtful message of some depth.

A nice dinner someplace with a nice view where we can take our time to talk and really get to know each other.
