"Life Wasted," by Pearl Jam: I have tasted/a life wasted/and I am never going back again. That's my theme song for the year.

As a partner, I am loyal, thoughtful, mature, romantic, I don't play games and I want the same.
This section is still a work in progress. I don't feel like anything I say adequately describes me or what I'm looking for. In the past few years, my relationships have been from one extreme to the other. When they were good, they were a dream. When they were bad, they were a nightmare. So I really want emotional stability without being bored. Is it possible to have the dream while keeping the nightmare to a minimum? It's hard to believe, but some little part of me still does. We all need a little affection and intimacy in our lives.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the past I have gotten too serious, too quickly and it hasn't worked out. Though ultimately I hope to find a woman that I can spend my life with, I want to keep it casual at first.
Music. Obviously I like Pearl Jam. In the car, my stations are preset to 104.7 the Fish, Rock 100.5 and 96.1, and 97.1 The River. Most of the time I can enjoy many different kinds of music. But it's one of my quirks that in the car, it's either Contemporary Christian



or loud, raunchy hard rock.


Anything else bores me, but in other places, I can enjoy a show with the Atlanta Symphony and other kinds of music.
I'm a teacher by trade, but I'm finishing up my first novel. So if I'm a writer, why is this little bio so difficult for me?


I may be a little shy or reserved at first, but if there is chemistry between us, you can expect me to become very affectionate. So if you like to hold hands, cuddle, hug, and kiss, I think we'll get along just fine.

If there's a good show in town, maybe we could do that and have dinner/coffee/a drink afterwards. I've always wanted to take salsa or tango (or some other dance) lessons. But for that I would need a partner...any takers?
