Seeking an affectionate, even tempered, mellow, intelligent, authentic, confident,curious woman. Simplicity and self awareness are plusses.

Signs we may be compatable: You're on familiar terms with many 4 syllable words, you have pets and feed strays,you aren't afraid to go outside without makeup; you are OK with not having a plan; you have at least considered skydiving, you did not vote for George Bush, or at least wish you hadn't (there go all the Floridians!).

At this point I have enough money, enough time and I'm healthy. All I need is someone to ease into happiness with. I'm reasonably good looking and carry a minimum of baggage. I don't care how much money you make or how you make it,I have no preset opinion of kids or much of anything else. I am a bit of an independent cuss and need my alone time, but in return you get to be who you are with no demands.

First dates should allow for interaction, so no movies. It should be public enough and private enough, maybe a restaurant, Starbucks, like that.
