Most cases,I'm open to meeting anyone to hang out with who shares similar interests as mine and hey if not I would like to learn about your interests as well!! If you live in the tri-state area, the better our chances of meeting!! :o) Primarily I am seeking males and females who are focused on their spiritual paths or who are even those who are open to the possibilities of creating their own forms of spirituality,etc. I seek intellectual and philosophical people-I seek those who want to try different things and experience or explore different cultures--I seek those who are gregarious, social and outgoing-those who seek having a good time in a healthy way--those who believe in worthy causes--those who are like minded. I want to be with people who are sincere or who seek to remind me of sincerity. I want to be with people who can look beyond the normal or want to do this with me as long as I'm here. I want to be with people who don't just see me as a face and a body and I don't want to just look at people for physical attraction but who they really are inside of their mortal coils. Don't hurt yourself if you seek me just for my body and yet don't be daunted just because I said all of this--I want you to challenge me to see this soul within you and me.I seek those who care about their health--those who won't destroy themselves with toxins. I hope you learned something from me whether you decide to be my friend or not my friend. Whether or not you ever show me you have visited this page, I still believe we are friends. Most of all, if you Email me or decide to add me, I need to know about you first and I would like you to show me who you are and not who you aren't. All I'm asking is that you took the time to understand yourself--what are you really looking for when you come across my profile.Have you found yourself because I believe I have found me and you?
