There is no way to respond to this in-depth because I am a strong believer that you have to personally engage with a person to know them and I don't feel that the email/text medium expresses the true sentiment of what is being conveyed. I will pay attention to the inclination of the tone in your voice, your body language and how you respond or react to a topic of discussion. These "tells" speak volumes about what a person is thinking or how they are feeling in response to a situation. I am interested in meeting people and getting to know them. I am a confident, secure person who identifies that I do know who I am, what I am about, what I like and don't like and what I will and will not tolerate. Life is too short to be unhappy, so I am only interested in those that can enhance my life and bring value to it. A little about me - I am caring (to a fault sometimes), spontaneous (I will drive to work and detour to the airport for a long weekend in the Caribbean). I have a sarcastic sense of humor and I am a risk taker (I scuba dive and ride motorcycles (not as a passenger unless by choice). Being secure, confident and driven would be qualities I am seeking in someone. I love being at home, but balance my life going out for adult evenings - whatever that means for me and my partner. It could be bowling, a romantic dinner, a walk around the Potomac after work, a candlelit dinner in the living room, going to the movies (big action and thriller/horror fan). Hopefully this is an enticement to getting to know more about me, because I prefer the personal connection than this medium. That's all for now.....the rest will have to be in person......
