Let's see – I feel that the world is abundant with gifts and opportunities. We just need to be open to seeing them, and taking them. I am an independent woman, full of compassion for others. I am self-employed and love working for myself. I have done well in my business and am grateful for that. I am very well-read and the state of the world matters to me – a lot. I lean left in my political views, and thinking about equity and social justice is a fundamental part of who I am. I love that part of me best, actually. If you aren’t interested in conversations and taking action to end the terrible injustices that go on in our world, then we likely won’t connect. Having said that, I have a great deal of laughter and joy in me. People tell me they love to hear me laugh, because I do it so often and it comes straight from my heart. I have been described as engaging. Oh yes, I am a very affectionate soul. My idea of a great date involves a play, music of some kind (even if it is just you singing a bit to me) and chocolate at least once, if not a few times over the course of the date. Yes, chocolate is the real priority here.
I am an intelligent person, and really hope that you will be intrigued by that. I think of myself as sophisticated, and others have used that word to describe me as well. I am honest, and will tell you what is going on for me and what I need from you. I don’t expect you to guess and I am not interested in guessing either.
You have the ability to be compassionate, and good hearted in your interactions with all others. You care about the world outside your immediate view of it. You know you have a lot to learn about a lot of things, and you are essentially a humble person. You are confident that I am not all that concerned with your height or how much money you make. Having said that, you acknowledge my weakness for facial hair, and will even consider growing it, even for a few days just so I can stroke your gorgeous face.
If you are divorced, you have done the hard work that is required to truly, honestly move on. It may have been tough to go through it, but you have made your peace with it. Also, you are seeking a new love because you are ready to receive all she can offer you. If it turns out to be me and you on the journey together (here's hoping), know that I am ready with my heart open to receive all you can offer me. Based on my experience to date on match, these points feel particularly important for me to state.
If any of this piques your interest, then I believe we have a strong shared foundation to get to know each other better, and to have a friendship, or maybe even more...
