I have lived in the Houston area for fifteen years. I have a part-time business that I'm growing into a fulltime business I'm increasingly becoming more active in more idealistic pursuits. I work out six days a week and I'm in athletic shape. I can carry on a good intellectual conversation but I also like my fun. I go to church regularly, but I'm not judgmental of other people. I reading, traveling, learning new things and time spent with my niece and nephews. I am looking to build a relationship of mutual support, trust and fun. I like compassionate, independent intellectual thinkers with high self-esteem, but who know how to have fun. I'm looking to go slow for a week or two with some thoughtful email correspondence and take it from there if there's a connection. I'm not necessarily looking for physical perfection but since I work at staying in shape for myself and my partner, I'm looking for the same. I understand why someone might be nervous about posting a picture on their profile but since anyone who communicates with me can see who they're communicating with, I'm going to want them to reciprocate and let me see who I'm communicating with.
