Professional, Adventurous, Separated Guy Looking for a Caring Friend m4w
I'm a , white, brown hair, green eyes, medium complexion. Straight, no tats, piercings, diseases or criminal records.
One chapter of my life is closing and I'm looking for a companion as I move into the next. I have no "baggage" per se - I'm not hung up on my ex or anything like that - no comparisons. I'm looking for a clean start, the joy of discovering new people, places and things, the thrill of pursuing and attaining real happiness and the sense of actually living a life that's worth living again instead of just schluffing through it, stuck in a bad relationship. Most importantly I want an emotionally supportive friend who can give me the great insights, perspectives and viewpoints of a woman that I've been without that for way too long. I'm looking for an opposite-sex companion who likes spending time together whether it's just hanging out somewhere or running out and trying to conquer the world. I want someone to bounce ideas off of, who has intelligent, witty things to say, who will help keep me grounded and who can serve as my compass as I get my bearings on new goals and dreams for myself.
Lover/FWB/etc.? Maybe down the road if the chemistry is right. I know I'm a "catch" for the right person but I'm not egotistical about it - I just know I have a lot to offer and won't indulge time-wasters or drama queens. If you have "issues" or challenges, I don't mind (most people do). I love kids, dogs, etc. Those sorts of things don't disqualify. If you have attitude problems or personality dysfunction, I'm not interested. There is LTR potential for the right person but whatever - if it turns into something more than a quality friendship, fine. If not, that's also fine. I'm looking for a friend and a companion first and foremost.
I'm in decent shape, getting back into running, cycling, surfing and mountain biking after a few years now that the weather is improving. I love airplanes (yes, I fly them occasionally), motorcycles (yes, I ride them occasionally), fun cars (yes, I drive them occasionally) as well as good books, conversations with intelligent people, chatting on the computer, building things with my hands and tinkering on stuff (I'm a guy). I love the beach, warm weather, camping, hiking and just generally being outdoors (warm weather only) or sitting down with a good brew, coffee or glass of wine. I'm definitely not a couch potato and I don't really care too much about pro sports (although I know enough to participate in a conversation). I love art and design, music, lively debates and being in the company of those who "bring me up, not down" and leave me intellectually challenged and fulfilled.
Career-wise I'm driven, a professional and ambitious. I intend to start my own firm/company in another few years and am angling that way now. I believe in the inevitability of my own success. I believe life is what we make it, and I intend to make mine continually better as I move through it. I'm not a clock-puncher.
Finally, I have a truly great son (age 3) from my previous relationship who I love dearly. He is not "baggage", he's a beautiful young human being with limitless potential. I value the (unfortunately very limited) time I get with him more than anything, so please no kid-hating hipster chicks or immature little girls who just want to drink/party/screw. I want a real, honest-to-goodness woman who can understand and appreciate how much that means and who's willing to occasionally be a positive influence on his life, especially if it's going to turn into anything beyond a friendship down the road.
Drop me an e-mail saying something interesting about yourself. Tell me the last book you read and what you thought about it. Or maybe what the color blue means to you. Or what you think about deconstructionism. Amuse me and engage me. I'm willing to meet up for coffee either loy or in/around Boston with the right interesting person who makes me feel like I'm talking to someone with substance and who has something to offer. Peace.
