As human beings, one of the things that make us so unique is our ability to emotionally connect, whether it be in friendship or in love. Some believe, as I do, that the quality of our lives can be measured through these connections. Well connected individuals tend to be happier, healthier and live fuller lives. Like you, I'm looking for a best friend in my next partner, but I'm also looking for someone who understands true intimacy and has the ability to emotionally connect. Physical chemistry, emotional intimacy and complete trust create the foundation for a life long partner.

I'm a hard working professional whose greatest achievement and pleasure are my children. None of us are perfect, however, I believe that the missed opportunities of my past will inspire great success in my future. I love to cook, keep a neat and tidy home, and find great pleasure in the simple things in life; gardening, a bike ride on a country road, or a glass of wine after a long day's work. And of course, living in Northern California we have many wonderful things to do, the challenge is finding the right person to do them with. Alone, they are nothing more than fleeting moments and cheap thrills, but with the right partner they make life long memories and a way of life.

Probably a lunch date to initally meet and see how the chemistry feels. The first real date would be someplace quaint and comfortable so we could get a chance to talk to each other at length.
