I am a strong minded, self sufficient , professional woman, looking for meaningful friendship which naturally progresses to wild passionate crazy ! Aren't we all?

OK the fun part :) Not a big "dater" in fact I loathe it! LOL. Then again who doesn't. I suppose I would like to walk into a room see someone across the floor and know! OK so that's dreaming, but seriously we all kind of know. We get that feeling. That something that says hey, this is someone I would like to know more. Sometimes it grows into more and more and sometimes it doesn't. That's life and it is the only way to find who really "does it" for us. I think I am at a point in my life where I want passion and peace. You might say how is that possible? I can tell you it has to be. The passion so extreme that you feel at peace, like everything in the world makes sense. WOW, that's about as deep as I am getting right now.
What am I looking for in a man?
My man is strong and confident, while also capable of being empathetic and soft. We have all had bad experiences in life, but he is someone unnaffected by the past, able to be able to look towards the future and see promise and excitement and hope and not expect repeats of the past. So many people at this point in their lives are so affected by life that they go blindly and hopelessly along...very sad. He is romantic, a dreamer, AND most importantly a DO'ER of dreams. I want to travel...see the world, wake up everyday and feel, "This is what life is about" I am mushy on the inside but few people know that, my exterior is strong and confident. I am looking for long term only.
First date... Coffee dates are perfect for first meetings. Takes the pressure off and let's each prson decide if there will be a first Real Date!
