Date men and women from California, United States. Who am I? Won't it take you a long time to thoroughly learn that? I've had experiences, been around the block, have educated myself, raised children, written books, suffered some setbacks, had my heart broken...and I'm still here, striding out into the waves, ready for the next breaker...the next tsunami...and maybe it's stubbornness and maybe other people call it optimism...I just know I was meant to share and to Be understood....and if you're a rare and special woman you understand the frustration of pigeonholing yourself all of a sudden in a box on a computer and you want an original for a partner, a man of complexity, subtlety and passion....who can ever predict?
