Native New Yorker exploring and adjusting to the west coast. How do I describe myself? The world is complex and so am I. Who isn't. I beat to my own drum and enjoy learning something new everyday. I'm at the point in my life where I know what I want and know what I don't want.

I've extremely compassionate and would like the same. The world could use more of it. I'm also looking for my second half,want and need love just like everyone. Finding it is the real tough part. I'm very romantic and love to nurture that special someone in my life. I prefer you love dogs, since I don't want to live without them. Presently don't have one, but working on it. Looking for someone real with a great sense of humor to get through life together. I'm pretty funny myself, so I've been told. In a perfect world I'm looking for honesty and mutual respect. I love to keep fit and do outdoors stuff as well as chilling with a good book at home. Cooking together with a bottle of red wine, would be the perfect date for me. Please apply and you will be glad you did. They don't get more real than me.
