i'm a young-looking, single mom of 2 teens (one of whom is in
college). i am intelligent (in lots of ways), well-educated,
passionate, and kind. i eat a balanced diet (which includes
significant doses of dark (only dark) chocolate), stay up way too
late, and definitely lean left of center. i have lots of friends,
am a great listener, and left to my own devices am never at a loss
for something to do. i am caring, compassionate, honest and direct
 the latter 2 attributes perhaps a result of my east coast roots.
i am definitely a romantic and a bit of a dreamer, despite my
practical tendencies. intimacy and passion in a relationship are
very important to me, on all levels. chemistry is a must, and lots
of things turn me on: dark skin, nice arms, beautiful eyes,
gentleness and compassion in the midst of quiet strength, an
ability to make me laugh, a passion for something you do<br />
<br />
have been on this earth long enough to know how much i don't know
(even though i know a lot!) and have really come to love the
opportunity that this stage of my life offers to keep learning new
things. spirituality has become more important to me in the last
few years, in part as a result of some big life-changing
experiences, and so finding a partner who accepts that is
important. it seems my earlier words here on the subject have been
causing (at least some) men to make some guesses about what that
really means, and it's really so much better talked about in
person. suffice it to say: i have learned at this point in my life
that one of the most important components, really, in any
relationship, is an acceptance of who we are and where we are.
that's all. if we can do that, everything else is small stuff.
:-)<br />
<br />
i'll save more of the "real me" details for when we meet, but i
will tell you this much: i shoot with a bow and arrow, love action
movies (especially kung fu), and really like it when a man opens
doors for me and walks on the outside of the sidewalk.<br />
<br />
one more thing for those of you without the patience to read all
the way to the end: i don't do the im thing. send me an email
instead. :-) please. i promise that no email will go unanswered (i
just think not answering would be rude -- and (incidentally) that
sentiment works both ways. if i send you an email and you're not
interested, i'd still like to see a thanks but no thanks email.
really, i'm a big girl and i can take it. :-) gracias.).
