Wishing you joy, peace, and love... If you are the man I am seeking, then I love you already... all you need to do is reach out with an email and let me know you've finally found me. You're a man with the same high standards & expectations as myself and you seek a relationship that begins with friendship & mutual respect, builds trust, and leads to monogamy. The man I seek knows he is very special: sincere, comfortable with emotions, strong enough to admit to weaknesses. He's an energetic sensual gentle man who wants a lifelong playmate. If you crave a gal who is smart, genuine, funny, literate, adventurous, loving, healthy, honest, playful, sexy, and good-hearted... then Meet YOUR VERY OWN GODDESS!

SWEETHEART WANTED: Be secure enough to make the first move. Write me and then let's meet. BTW, If you don't have a photo posted on your profile, SEND A PHOTO with your email. Yes, I know... "Folks always say I'm more attractive in person". No problem - We're attracted to spirit/mind/body, in that order.

I care less about what we do for a living, more about where we are at this point in our lives. You and I live financially secure lifestyles. We enjoy foreign/domestic travel plus the variety of foods each region offers. We saved for retirement, own our homes (I own 2), and have money, but we're not materialistic. We are independent but know how to love and please each other. We have good moral compasses and mostly traditional values. We switch from jeans to formal wear in 30 minutes. We also have passion and are attracted to people with positive attitudes. We're upbeat!

FYI I'm lighthearted + spontaneous: a woman-child full of wonder. I've sailed off Phuket, siped wine in the Loire Valley, zip-lined in Belize, biked along Venice Beach, and swatted green-heads in Tuckerton. You are similarly outgoing and fun. You wont "settle". In person I look 45 years old - so what? Isn't it what's inside that counts? I have a healthy appetite for sex, food, adventure and discovery. I believe in something greater - whatever that may be - and I believe that there are consequences for our actions in life. With all that, laughter comes easily to me. I'm active and outgoing when I travel, but more laid-back when home. I'm responsible but pretty silly sometimes. Family and friends are important to me. I have 3 amazing adult children and we visit regularly. I have a loving heart and am not afraid to show that. I marvel at nature, our planet, and the universe. I’m happy in my garden yet love NYC, Philly, or AC for dinner and a show. Once you win me over, I’ll be faithful and true. My photos are current. (Yours are too, right?) I take very good care of myself!

I want a companion in my wonderfully happy life. I don't "need" to find a partner... but I really do want one: someone to share my joy; someone to tell me his stories; someone with whom to split a pot of coffee, take a long bike ride, or go for a midnight swim. Relaxed and easy, but fantastic stuff! I enjoy the simple things in life... fresh flowers, sharing a drink in a quiet bar, a wandering with no destination, watching and discussing the Discovery channel, playing card games with friends, and a good belly laugh.

PS: Since you've gotten this far, let me add that I'm not here to serial-date. Even so, I do not feel any desperation about creating an instant relationship. I believe in taking time to get to know people. Being "exclusive" too soon is, in my opinion, a mistake. Let's talk about that.

I think first meetings are best when spontaneous, brief, casual, and low-pressure! Coffee is fine. We meet, chat, and decide how we feel in each other's company.
On actual dates we'll do things we both enjoy. Dinner with a view -- comedy clubs -- concerts -- rock bands -- plays -- and eventually trips to the sun or snow, cooking together, and dinner on the deck overlooking the bay. Let's DOUBLE our FUN!!
