Seeking an intellectually vital male counterpart. Bonus for a warm heart, expressiveness and wit. Extra points for your affectionate nature and generosity of spirit. Big payout for your child-like ability to marvel at beautiful architecture, soak in the sun, brush the hair off my face, or make those embarrassing, lip-smacking sounds at the newly discovered, hole-in-the wall restaurant. Yes, you are a tactile, independent thinker.

Stop testing my imagination. It’s wild. An easy, comfortable evening or afternoon with minimal periods of uncomfortable silence. That means coffee, I guess? And I don’t mind it being imperfect. (Coffee that is).
