Just moved back to the United States in Dec. 08 after an 8 1/2 year adventure in Italy where I worked as a sculptor. I'm looking for interesting, intelligent, and independent women for friendship and possibly more . Physical attraction is important but I don't really have a type. I like unconvential people. Have your own style and something to say. Be ALIVE. I don't mind a little shyness but have a pulse at least. I want passion, not a lukewarm comittment.

I'm an animal lover but not an animal activist. I'm pretty informed politically but I prefer not to talk politics. I'm honest and very pragmatic. If you don't know what that word means you are not the one for me. I would like to be with someone that has at least some knowledge and appreciation of the arts. Not really into bars or clubs. I would prefer a cozy corner cafe or a deep sofa and a nice cup of tea. I'm searching for someone who is kind but with a healthy serving of attitude, sexy but classy, intelligent and cultured but not arrogant, driven but not materialistic. I love to share and be generous as long as the person I am with is appreciative of both big and small things . A thoughtful gift that costs a few bucks will turn me on more than a Rolex.

Something very casual. Coffee or a drink. A walk through the village or the park. Maybe a meal or a chill place with some live jazz if things go well. Definitely not a movie theater. Anything that promotes good conversation and a relaxed vibe.
