I love animals and gardening, walking on the beach and watching the sunset. I care about others and have an affinity towards the underdogs in life and helping them. I am open and honest to a fault, have opinions on many things and no opinion on many things. I work hard and like to enjoy life when I am off. I am happiest relaxing in front of a roaring fire with a glass of fabulous Merlot and watching a good movie in the arms of someone I care for. I like to experience new things and I find that the experiences are always better shared with someone special whether that be a man or my best friend who is four legged and very good looking :-). Looking For: I am not interested in playing games, don't have time for dishonesty or people who aren't compassionate. I am not looking for perfection because I know that doesn't exist. I realize that we all make mistakes from time to time and to me it's not the mistakes you've made but what you have made of your mistakes. I am looking for someone who can hold their own in a good conversation and who understands the difference between an argument and a good debate. I think laughter is medicine for the soul and therefore you must have a good sense of humor and be able to laugh at as well as with yourself. I am very passionate and affectionate, but am not looking for a quick physical relationship. I believe that this level of intimacy is only truly achieved when there is a foundation of friendship supporting it. If you are interested please send me information on how I can contact you and we can go from there. If not good luck in your endeavors.
