I Would Describe Myself As

Among other things, I enjoy music, art, reading, the great outdoors and life's simple pleasures. I am kind, compassionate, down-to-earth, bohemian, unpretentious, perceptive, thoughtful, gracious, tolerant, liberal, considerate, dependable, humble, open and independent-minded, communicative, affectionate, loving, generous in spirit, self-aware, playful, outdoorsy, and live with integriyy. I have a strong constitution but a gentle spirit. I see the world more in shades of gray (and a spectrum of color) than everything as either black or white. I work hard but am laid-back. In terms of my diet, I am a Pescatarian. You possess some combination of the following traits, including being: kind, compassionate, down to earth, unpretentious, tolerant, considerate, open-minded, wise, affectionate, loving, self-aware, perceptive, thoughtful, gracious, playful, outdoorsy and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Most importantly, I am looking for a woman who's overall sensibilities I share. That's one of those ethereal yet important things like chemistry or "je ne sais quoi." I am looking for simpatico with each other. I think what makes a relationship great are shared overall sensibilities, respect, honesty candor, good communication, burden-sharing, shared political philosophy, curiosity, kindness and creativity. I am looking for my soul mate rather than looking for each of us to be each others' functionaries. When it comes to doing things around the house such as cooking, cleaning , etc. I am not into old fashioned roles between a man and a woman. I think balanced burden sharing is an important aspect of a relationship. I believe in making important decisions together. I am fortunate to work virtually from home and can live anywhere if I want. I think each person in a relationship should have the time and room to be with friends and do things outside of the relationship, for it to grow and reach its potential. I am looking to nurture each others' spirit, not possess each other.

What Do You Look For?

You possess some combination of the following traits although not all, including being: down to earth, open-minded, wise, kind, compassionate, affectionate, loving, loves to spoon at the right time and like to "let your hair down" at other times, self-aware, perceptive, thoughtful, gracious, playful, outdoorsy and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Most importantly, I am looking for a woman who's overall sensibilities I share. That's one of those ethereal yet important things like chemistry.

Even though I'm in government affairs in DC, I do not have a type-A personality and would not be well suited with someone who is high strung, intense or "on" all of the time in their personal life outside of work. I would enjoy being with a woman who has a relaxed personality in her personal life. I am looking for a committed, monogamous relationship with potential for a life-time relationship.

I am looking for my soul mate rather than looking for each of us to be each others' functionaries. When it comes to doing things around the house such as cooking, cleaning , etc. I am not into old fashioned roles between a man and a woman. I think balanced burden sharing is an important aspect of a relationship. I believe in making important decisions together.
