All of you. I mostly date guys. Friends and all others welcome in all genders, sexualities (or pansexuality--yay.) I seek honest, unique, creative, passionate, joyful, spontaneous people interested in //challenging themselves// and making a difference. Watch the ocean more than the television, laugh while making out, and have fought/be fighting for things you believe in (like Queer rights, fair trade, equality, multlingualism, education, or that last peanut butter cookie.) Let's skip through downtown, leave enormous tips, and blow kisses to sad-faced Starbucks patrons.
[excerpt from personals ad... i guess i just ask for what i want.]
You: age not super important. I'm 20, usually date older... you could be 20s, 30s, maybe 40s, if you woke up a little late in the game. Basically, you're balanced, secure in who you are, and concerned with what you contribute to the world instead how you'll get yours. You're not a victim, and you take your fears as a dare to step up to the plate instead of a push to stay home and watch life happen on TV. You love yourself enough to know you'd be a great parent. Maybe you've considered teaching, or you do teach. You think multilingualism is essential—and sexy. You're interested in what works instead of who's right: you solve problems instead of win arguments. You dance whether or not you think people are watching. You don't censor yourself. You bring others to tears of joy by simply being yourself. You don't need drugs or alcohol to get past your inhibitions. More people remember you than you can keep track of. You're a leader. And you're humble enough to wonder if you'll measure up to such lofty standards—just like I am!
You're whole and complete just as you are. So am I. We want to be together not to fill a gaping whole in our personalities, but to step up to the next level. Our relationship, in whatever form it takes, from dating to something long-term, will bring us more time, energy and freedom, not drama, stress, or burdens. Ready? Dive in!
