Time and experience has taught me that the best partnerships come from two people who are focused on a similar dream for the future. Honesty, integrity, being real, open mindedness, creativity, willingness to learn and grow are non-negotiables for me. A warm heart, both generous of oneself and spirit not only to friends and family, but others you have yet to meet is representative of the type of person I would like to spend my time with. I expect nothing of my person that I don't see in myself.

I am looking for someone who is a gentle soul and is passionate about the things they do in life, who likes and wants meaningful conversation who actively seeks to better themselves as a human being, who has a high level of integrity in everything they do and who understands mutual respect. I like the arts, museums, theater, creativity, fine dining, cooking, photography, nature, bike riding, animals, exploring new restaurants and new places, volunteering, self improvement, reading, festivals, yard sales, flea markets, long walks, kissing, holding hands, picnics, and experiencing what life has to offer.. I have a constant thirst for knowledge and think of every day as an opportunity to grow.

I can be a bit shy, although people seem to think that's a funny way to describe me after they meet me. I am not into the bar scene, loud head banging music or crude people. I have slightly old fashioned values. I am definitely not interested in following the crowd or keeping up with the "Joneses". I have two kids that live with me. We are best friends. I love animals and have 2 dogs that I adore. I would like to believe that there are still honest, deeply caring, warm, sensitive, compassionate women out there that respect the fact that gentlmen still exist. I really want to share my time, energy, thoughts and effort on someone who is open minded. I want a partner who is creative, has an adventuresome spirit and shares in the responsibility of seeking out these new things to do. Someone who is somewhat settled in their life and not caught up in too much drama and nonsense.
