Love involves a peculiar, unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
-Diane Arbus, photographer (1923-1971)


In a perfect world I am seeking a tall, single man that enjoys cooking, eating & does not snore. :)

Ideally speaking a man that is several inches taller than I am.

But, I understand that all kinds of different qualities are often wrapped up in all kinds of different packages!


I am not concerned with your big shiny car nor do I care how much money you make.

I enjoy books, reading, trains, travel, Pandora Internet Radio, Trader Joe's, new vocabulary words, The New York Times Book Review, red wine, Champagne, chocolate, playing Scrabble (I normally lose) the train from Dublin to Cork, baking, staying up late, sleeping in, great food,long weekends in New York City, greatly anticipating that first kiss, direct eye contact, Sunday morning,used bookstores, meeting new people & understanding different cultures.

I like together down time.


Film: Elegy, Prime, Out Of Africa, Closer, Fall.


Currently I am reading: The Brain In Love. As well as rereading Out Of Africa....


I want to be able to have long, deep, serious, funny, thought provoking conversations with my partner. If my brain is not stimulated, nothing else will be.

When you find that right person, everything else falls right into place.

Kissing is very important to me. I love doing it with the right person for a long time.


Question: If you were a book what would your title be?

A casual meeting, coffee and or a walk on the beach to establish interest & chemistry.
