Afraid to fly, need not apply. No, I am not a poet, but who doesn't love a well turned phrase? I love to laugh and admire clever people with a great sense of humor. Newly single and ready to find a relationship with someone who wants intimacy, enjoys all types of music, follows Cardinal Baseball, eats great cooking...mine, yours or the chef's and travel! Manly-Men please DO apply!I respect those who work hard and are committed to their passions. Exercise, healthy choices and red wine do go well together! A fun day can be working around the house, walking in the garden...mine or Shaw's, or a more formal occasion out on the town.What do I want in a relationship? Intimacy, romance, a great friend, does that sound like too much? Why shouldn't we get what we want, you only live once? Family, friends, dogs (not sure which order of importance sometimes) are the key to happiness and a desire to make new friends all the time. I'm a student of life and Webster University, working on a 2nd Masters while working full time and having a little bit of fun. I am not a neat-nik, have a great house but sometimes a little messy....nobody's perfect if you are busy experiencing life! What are you passionate about and what do you hope to gain from this encounter? Tell me......
