About Me

I like to enjoy the sensual, the beautiful, the romantic, and the peaceful. Experiencing as much love as possible, from myself and from others. Practicing patience, kindness and compassion. I feel like my purpose for being is to love and be loved and experience all the joys and challenges of life. I'm a homebody but I still enjoy dinner dates, bowling, movies, scenic walks, and doing new and interesting activities that I might not have done yet. I am compassionate, loving, understanding, giving, and a hopeful romantic. I love to laugh and have good fun. I am a great listener and enjoy good conversation.

My Interests

â€œIf anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.â€ meditation, reading and learning new things, massages, aromatherapy, yoga, boxing, Aikido, Tai Chi, home cooking, dining out, sex, to name a few.

I'd like to meet:

Genuine good people with good hearts. Other spiritual and compassionate souls to share thoughts and ideas. I am also single, friendly, and open to connecting with that special woman to love and adore. Someone who is beautiful inside and outside, and desires to be romanced. Her heart is open, fear does not rule her thoughts, and she knows why she needs a man. This is the type of woman I want to get to know, give to, and make happy.

Beautiful Butterfly

It makes no sense for a Beautiful Butterfly to try and get nourishment from a mushroom. You must seek the nectar you need from a Flower that is just as Beautiful as yourself.
