I am one who enjoys exploring new places and new things. I love to travel and ingest the beauty all around us. My children and I spent a month soaking up the Aloha spirit in Hawaii over X-mas & I have greatly enjoyed traveling in the past to places like Paris, Belgium, and the mountains. I have an RV and would like to take it next summer for an extended road trip inching my way across the west. There are so many more places I want to go and things I want to see. I love life! I would love it even more if the mate of my dreams was by my side.I am a passionate, affectionate person and a lifelong learner, even my spiritual beliefs are ever evolving. I grew up in a Christian home and consider myself a Christian but most would identify me more with a very ecclectic spiritual, or new thought perspective. I have a graduate degree in Human Development and Family Science and am only interested in men who likewise are educated. I have two sons living at home and plan to engage in lots of adventures with them during the next couple of years as we embark on a sensory rich journey of discovery, engage in world exploration, and make lasting memories. I want to also explore the essence of nature, celebrate God's artistry and sip the nectar of life with a lifetime companion in the future.

I never really dated much in the past. It seems that as soon as I became "available" I found myself almost immediately in a committed relationship. I don't want to repeat that this time. I want to move s-l-o-w-l-y. I want to date and get to know several new friends first. I am looking for online friendships with men between the ages of 31 and 47 who are educated, brilliant, charming, cultured, attractive, and sexy, preferably with a nice trim belly and bulging muscles and let's see body hair is also sexy and (I know but I can dream can't I --I do alot of that-lol) with the hope that perhaps something very special and lasting might develop from one of these friendships. I have not always known what I wanted or needed but after a few failed relationships, I am very sure of what I am looking for in potential partner. I am looking for someone with a positive outlook on life and an inner confidence backed by knowledge and understanding of oneself and others. I want a mutually respectful, loving relationship with someone who is honest, loyal,sexy, kind, has the capacity for incredible depths of intimacy and who can accept my 2 young children and be a positive role model. I want a mate who is interested in who I am at the innermost level & shares his own inner self. The capacity to make love to my mind is a must. Strangely, I am attracted to men who are my intellectual superior and while education does not necessarily attest to IQ it does take a bright mind, determination, a strong sense of self-efficacy, a belief in the value of learning and an ability to self-discipline to earn a degree and at the expense of sounding like a snob, an education is a prerequisite for me to be interested in you. Additionally, my ideal mate is a man who has the capacity to stimulate my heart, soul, body and mind (not just one of these domains-- I need a connection on all levels) and is comfortable with sharing thoughts, ideas, dreams and feelings. I want a mate who has that inner candle of peace burning brightly and is tolerant of his fellow man (even though humans tend to sometime do really stupid things and there is a lot of diversity in the world). The idea of being oft spooned and cuddled by someone with a very brilliant mind,a loving heart and an exploring soul who is open to marveling at all the incredible blessings around us sounds very delicious as does being with someone with the capacity to appreciate and occassionally participate in a child's sense of excitement and wonder. (One can learn so much from a child on how to really live more fully, more richly, more in touch with the Source. Unbound by the baggage of adulthood, a child has enormous capacity to show joy and wonder. Such capacity is revealed in the child who is entranced by the flight of a butterfly or by the movement of sand running through his fingers. It is such sensual and nature filled experiences that I would like to also experience with a mate as we marinate our senses in the beauty and simple pleasures all around us and make memories that last.) I want a man that is open to experiences such as playing in mud as it squishes between his toes, meditating in a mountain meadow of flowers, feeling the warmth of the sun awakening ones cells after a cold night camping in the mountains, bathing each other in a hidden hot mineral pool in the Mountains, enjoying the sound of a crackling fire, chasing fireflies, celebrating the beauty of nature, enjoying country night noises, viewing starlit nights, and sipping wine while sharing mutual soul level intimacy. Are you someone who is able to appreciate the richness of life in a non-materialistic sense like the passion of a thunderstorm, the smell, sound and feel of a warm gentle rain, the feel of the wind as it whips and caresses the senses, flows through one's hair and whispers the secrets of where it has been and how it connects us to all others? My future ideal mate would explore with me the wonders of each other and the world.

I would like to initially get to know someone online, then via visiting on the phone and then I think it would be nice to meet each other in a public place--like having lunch together or a latte in a coffeeshop. Next, it would be nice to perhaps walk in the park as we continue our exploration process, sit at a bistro as we share an adult beverage or some other activity that allows us to get to know each other' inner being and see if we are compatible. Then if we both feel that there is a possibility that our friendship could develop into a future romantic relationship, then date possibilities are vast: going boating, hiking, fishing, canoeing, going to a workshop, out to dinner, to the movies, to concerts, out to dance, on a leisurely ride in a car or on a bike, going on a picnic, spending time marinating in nature, lying on a quilt looking up at the stars, candlit dinners, traveling together, sipping together the nectar of nature, and celebrating life in countless, wonderful ways.

If you are looking for a sexual encounter, please DO NOT e-mail me. I am looking for friendships that have the potential of developing into something soulful, deep, committed and lasting.
