Date men and women from United States. All my photos are from spring 2008.
I need a category between "social drinker" and "never". For me that would be "rarely".
I'm honest, loyal, intellectually curious, affectionate, happy, and optimistic. Enjoy togetherness, conversation, exploring ideas, long walks/hikes, gardening, nature, animals, reading, music, movies and videos, travel.
I work at staying healthy, through exercise, fun, laughter, relaxation. Always good nutrition at home (one of my favorite hobbies is fermenting foods, especially kefir and vegetables), but I don't worry about nutrition when traveling. Committed to environmental conservation and living lightly on the earth. Enjoy watching my electric meter run backwards.
Honesty is indispensable to me in a relationship. Why even bother talking to each other if we can't trust what the other one is saying? Looking first for friendship, but am hoping that one friendship evolves into a partnership based on love and commitment. Give myself frequent pep talks about importance of learning to be alone, yet to me the unshared life feels mechanical compared to the shared life. Have an existence proof for how good it can be to love and be loved within a lifetime commitment. Not perfect. Not Cinderella. But good, real good.
The most attractive man to me is a warm and cuddly or passionate intellectual, i.e. a man who likes to learn-think-talk, but who doesn't live so much in his head that he neglects his body or his feelings. Hoping to meet a man who has some independent activities and interests, but who also enjoys closeness and warmth. Got miles to go before I sleep, many questions and interests that I enthusiastically explore. Don't need anyone to entertain me and wouldn't want the responsibility of keeping someone else entertained. This does NOT mean I'm aloof. Time together in closeness is what it's all about, but some complementary or even divergent interests and activities enrich the coming together. As Robert Frost said:
"Some morning from the boulder–broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter–love, original response."

So, good luck and much happiness to you.
