In Her Own Words
About Her
I am passionate and occasionally emotionally demonstrative, and have a boisterous laughter. Slightly larger than life, eccentric, individualist, I am not a group animal but enjoy tapping into various gatherings that can enrich me or catch my fancy and help me grow as a person. I am a romantic in the sense that places with a sense of history and beautiful sounds or sightings move me. I thrive on sensual pleasures, being a Taurus. Don't ever judge me as being lazy; I do need my me-time and my time-out moments from time to time in order to recharge. I will catch up with you soon enough if you are grown up enough to give me the space I need. I love camping because I get to improvise home making in the Great Outdoors and getting closer to Nature brings a spiritual quiet. My ultimate outdoor goal is to get into any possible source of water for swimming pleasure. I enjoy a wide range of live music but am fairly picky about what I watch (life is too short for run of the mill entertainment). I read a bit (not enough) and paint for a living.
About Her Ideal Match
I am fiercely independent and do not believe in permanent co-habitation arrangements. I have a garden, a household, pets and grown children, but I am not married to them; so I expect a similar sense of responsibility versus independence from my partner. I enjoy going Dutch, but appreciate an occasional sidestep as a gift. Although we have different ways of expressing appreciation of the other, I have to sense that there is a balance of reciprocation that feels fair. We don't have to go everywhere together, and we can have independent friends. It is a skill that needs constant tuning, to communicate and negotiate this balance, both ways. I expect honesty about your basic vices; let's compare notes and see whether we can live with our differences and appreciate them for what they are.
