Date a soulmate from United States. Well, I might fall into that stereotype, middle age KCRW (national public radio) listener and liberal voter. Like all the arts, great directors, writers, blah, blah blah. I like it when I'm in the company of friends who appreciate my sense of humor. I tend to like those who don't take themselves too serious. I'm drawn to women who are funny, smart and kind. It doesn't hurt if you are comfortable with your sexuality. I respond to biological triggers like any other red-blooded American male. It is extremely hard to find hip, aware women at my age who are still interested in experiencing something new. If you're interested in learning more about me, I post regularly online at Huffington Post, as "redpod". If you fan & friend me, you will be able to read everything I've posted there. Be forwarned, it's mostly political comment.
I am not the kind of person to walk up to someone and assume they want to talk to me. If we met in person, I would need some kind of sign, to allow me to approach. That's why this online dating thing can seem so daunting. I believe if I can feel some kind of connection over the phone, we're halfway home. If we've managed to get through a couple of phone conversations, and neither one of us can recall laugh out loud moments, then we're probably not right for each other.
(I've re-thought this a bit. It really does take time to take in the entire makeup of what makes an individual unique. This does not always come through in few phone calls. Trying to be funny without fully knowing the other person, and without the perspective of seeing that person face to face, can seem forced and unnatural. However, you can get some inkling of their character and nature, so phone calls are still essential.)
I really am serious about making a connection here. Our time here on this planet is limited, our healthy time, even more so. What can be better than sharing great times together? On the other hand, being with someone that doesn't get you, or seems to struggle just to stay happy, can be a major drag on your psyche. The important thing is, I'm open to it.
Meet someone special from United States. So, here am I seeking a companion, a friend, a lover who perhaps finds my balance, balanced. Senses my passion and has the wit to feel the humor and laugh. I ask her to grant me a dance and her consent is assertive and fluid. We approach one another as strong separate entities and flow together such that an observer would know not which is the lead nor which is the follow. Our rhythms blend as we sense some pleasure, some pain, some path to a balance of ...a personal nature.
The union of dance has become a conveyance to the road of possibilities. We find ourselves in the moment of power and glide. Of ascending and descending. The hills are high and require an energy we both possess. The pushing and pulling of the pedals provides us a process to place our passions and sensitivities upon the two lane path to the higher pass. The way is challenging and cheery. We smile, serenely steeped in the peace of physical purity. We reach the crest fatigued but not flattened. We wait not but slide eagerly into our tucks, taking turns in the slipstream of each moment. Our sensitive natures are tethered to our passion for cycling and though we are upon separate frames we find it fitting, fast and funny. Despite the speed and the sound of the wind I hear her sweet laughter above my own and hold the moment in my heart hoping to extend it beyond it's duration. I let it go and feel the balance of it's existence. She is she and I am I. A her and a him. The moment is we. Could we be?
Taking a break from Match. Exploring other oceans. See you there.
