I am excited about what lies ahead; this year is poised to reveal the good in life that has been waiting for me all along. Might that include you?

In my journey over the last couple of years I have downsized, simplified and now live a more contemplative life. I seek to enjoy what life has to offer and share it with a woman. That would be you - interested in exploring life together while having fun, learning and growing from shared experience. So my path has lead me here to find you; to bring into my life. Deep inside me resides a hopeless romantic waiting to re-emerge, drawn out by our connection and your willingness. Will you make yourself known to me?

I enjoy spotting the hidden patterns in the fabric of life, which either leads me to interesting discoveries or just keeps me entertained. Like this site for instance. Has it occurred to you that this is basically online shopping? We come here, browse the catalog, find something that appeals to us based on a picture of the product description (good marketing is everything!), place it in our online shopping cart, and try out the merchandise, knowing we can send it back if it isn't a good fit. What a mind set to be in while looking for connection… that of a shopaholic looking for the perfect deal!

Yet here you are, still reading this and wondering… is this particular product one that I want to try on for size? If yes, you know where to click… and I hope you do.

Beyond my enchanted, and sometimes warped thinking you will find an intelligent, articulate, creative, honest soul who can be spontaneous and silly as much as serious and thoughtful. It would be nice to introduce ourselves to each other and see what happens.

Call me old fashioned, I prefer to get to know you in person. It's too easy to build unrealistic expectations from extended online communication. So let's keep it brief here in cyberspace and maybe a call or two. Our first meeting should be a friendly, respectful and simple get together such as a glass of wine, coffee, a beach walk. No anticipation, we'll take it as it happens.

And no worries... you can always return me.
