Date men and women from Alamo, United States. I am both social and reflective. I enjoy mixing with friends and strangers; but am equally content in my own company. I enjoy the company of writers because by definition I feel a writer must reflect.
I have varied interests including domestic and international travel. I am well traveled and have lived abroad. I am comfortable in Shanghai China. But equally comfortable in Helena Montana. I enjoy taking photographs of my travels and dabble at travel writing. I enjoy coming home and arranging my photos into a story or storybook. I enjoy cooking and the arts. I enjoy entertaining in my home. At my stage in life, I am conscious of health and a lifestyle that lends itself to wellness.
I feel good about my raising my 21 year old son and feel good about our relationship. Could I parent again? Yes and no. Yes because I hold a lot of hope for our young people. Young people are impressionable. With a gentle nudge in one direction or the other, their path can be different.
No because after raising my child, I am starting to enjoy a new capacity to pursue interests. With my new found new capacity, I am interested in teaching; possibly technology or business English. I feel the need to “payback” even in some small way.
My ideal match will be spirited and a spirit. Expressive but also thoughtful. More interested in the intangible aspects of life than the tangible ones. Not that tangible objects and possessions are a bad thing. She will not try to impose her philosophy on others. And recognizes that everyone has a right to their own credo. She will be a renaissance woman, both earthy and urbane.
She will have an interest in travel. Not so much for fine hotels, fine food and fine wine. But to see and learn something that she/we have not seen and learned before. Nothing against fine hotels, food and wine. But they are not primary.
She will like people. She will be social and fun loving because fun is part of being human. She will like children. She will exhibit and recognize kindness.
I haven’t found anyone who completely meets my ideal. But on occasions, I have come surprisingly close. Although I feel it is important to have ideals, I believe it is impractical to expect someone to be ideal all time. I am reminded of that fact when I look at myself.
