This year will be the most incredibly exciting year of my life. How do I know? That's simple. I will be meeting YOU, a man of great integrity, who values a woman who is: articulate, intelligent, independent, successful, socially responsible and centered.
You also share my passion for learning, business, movies, the theater, dogs, entertaining, art, music and books. In my free time, I often find myself roaming through art galleries and museums on weekends (I guess that's a habit acquired as a result of growing up in "Smithsonian territory"). Your equal enjoyment of these interests create the cornerstone of our long-term friendship.
I am a petite woman (5"2" 114lbs.), with silky, dark brown hair cut just above my shoulders. I have large, expressive brown eyes and a warm and inviting smile. Add to the above an appreciation for humor, adventure and romance...well, need I say more?
For many years I've taken great pride in being an overachiever. Some I'm sure would call me a "workaholic." This notwithstanding, I've come to realize that the "good life" is less complete without someone to share it with. Today, I would prefer to walk side-by-side a mate, spending time enjoying the world--instead of trying to run it!!!!
There is nothing that I want more than to find the person into whose embrace, scent, body, and mind I could lose myself. With the right person, I would be committed to creating intimacy through open, honest, non-contrived, uncensored verbal and nonverbal communication. I actively love and appreciate life, cherishing what I consider to be the incredible miracle of a too-brief existence on this planet.
Well, I think that covers it! I truly believe that Destiny is a CHOICE--not a chance. I'm seeking a relationship with a person who truly lives this principle.
My Ideal Person:
My soul mate is first, and foremost, a man imbued with great integrity, compassion and a passion for life. He possesses a high intellect and will be capable of engaging in open, honest and thoughtful conversation. He would also define himself as being affectionate, romantic, a person who possesses an adventurous spirit and a great sense of humor. He also knows that vunerability is not a weakness but a great strength.
More than likely he will be under 6'1 so that we may dance comfortably together. He is slim to medium (but firm) build. He possesses GQ style and good looks and a Levi's soul. He is between 40 and 51 years of age, confident in his looks and accomplishments and has no desire to be perceived as being one minute younger. He is established in his career and admires a women who has an equally challenging business life.
He will have also come to realize that the "good life" is just a little less fulfilling without someone special to share it with. He understands that intimacy is a physical, emotional and intellectual undertaking. And, he is willing to invest his energies in achieving this level of mutual satisfaction, with me--his New Best Friend.
Most important is a man who understands that intimacy and love making are activities which take place both inside and OUTSIDE the bedroom. He believes that true lovers are first and foremost best friends.
If you are the man whom I have described, and find the characteristics which I articulated above appealing, then I hope that you will choose to let me know that this message has reached you. After all, Destiny is a Choice Not A Chance, yes?
