My Ideal Person:
Who's my match? Am I actually looking for a match? If I am, he is exceptionally bright and has a great sense of humor. How much money he makes is not important to me, as long as he is financially responsible and meets all his own obligations. "Power" is just a word to me, so whether he is a Wall Street mogul or a fisherman, if he's intelligent, funny, responsible, resourceful, and spiritual, I will most likely enjoy his company. He must be mature and assertive, and confident. Wishy-washy men make me feel sorry for them. Strong and decisive men make me sit up and take notice.

What I want: I have discovered that I am not looking for marriage (at the moment). What a thing to realize at my age, huh? That doesn't mean it can't ever happen. But I am not here at Match Dot Com trying to snag a husband. I am trying to make some friends, because it recently dawned on me that a) all my friends are either female, or married males, or males that are single and so far away, they may as well be married, and b) I stopped dating around the time of Noah's flood (maybe it was 2003 or '04) and have forgotten how pleasant it is to be in the company of a charming man. I have been far too wrapped up in my own life. It's time to go outside.

So, that's my tale. Drop me a note sometime, I'll buy you a coffee, and we'll visit.
