Balance is a key quality in my life as symbolized by the yin/yang of Taoism. As such, I span a broad range, and I'd prefer someone who understands that most things can be appropriate at different times.

Why am I here? I am seeking a happy, healthy, loving relationship, full of passion, play, and contentment with a beautiful woman whom I adore and respect. I don't 'date around' and would prefer to find one special person to spend my life with. I am determined and patient to find the right match, but I dearly miss the intimacy, sharing, support, and companionship that two people can give to each other. In fact I've had less than a handful of 1st dates in the last 10 months. It's too easy to get into 'a' relationship and it's such a waste of time if it's not someone you' re going to spend the rest of your life with. Why invest so much and then just have to start all over again??

I describe myself as adventurous and romantic, strong and gentle, playful, fun and mature, spiritual, fit, and a non-smoker. I'm fairly deep, intelligent, observant, reflective, soft-spoken, and 'sweet' (I've been told).

I like to do lots of different things: wine and dining, exploring and day trips, hiking, sailing, movies, window shopping, fairs, social cooking, snuggling, kissing--sharing life with one special person!

To provide a few specifics about myself...
- I'm 5'9, 170; I run almost every day.
- I was raised with manners--open doors, say please/thank you etc.
- I am not a neatnik but not horribly messy either.
- NOT a Type A! I do love organization, but I'm too lazy to implement it!
- I *have* a tux but usually wear jeans.
- I love gourmet or can just as easily eat at BK but prefer anything 'interesting';
- I prefer many long weekends over one big trip (unless it's Italy or France!).
- I am a TV/movie type person; don't read much except for politics or personal growth.
- I listen to NPR in the afternoon and Stern in the morning.
- I'm 60% Yin or Omega vs 40% Alpha or Yang. I'm NOT looking for an Alpha dog! I'm seeking an equally balanced woman.

All in all, a mixed bag of a lot of different things
--just a good guy looking for a good girl :)

For the astrologically curious, I am a Scorpio with Pisces Moon, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra, and Mars in Scorpio. I'd be happy to do yours if you're interested :)

Some things from my past: used to own a motorcycle; taught at a sailing camp on Cape Cod; owned a 31' sailboat; took flying lessons; skydived--3 times; rode horses well--competed in dressage; spent one night in jail (for an old, unpaid speeding ticket); have driven down the Cote d'Or of France in October; and sailed around the BVI's, and have participated in a few different 'seminars' over the years including Tony Robbins, Insight, Creating Success, MSIA, Reiki, and meditation at the Omega Institute.

I have two wonderful teen boys, 15 & 17, whom I love and adore; and I also appreciate my time and freedom of not *always* having them (hard for some people to understand). I've been through two marriages now: one 22yrs ago for 8yrs; then 10yrs passed before another one for 4yrs. Current status: filed, not final--no possibility for reconciliation. Since everybody asks, I had met someone online over 4yrs ago--a doctor from Venezuela; she moved here and we got married, and then one day she told me that we got married too quickly because of visa requirements, so here I am, starting all over again.

I love to explore, visit, day trips, even window shop new places. I like to go out to dinner at least one night per week and then some event or activity every other weekend such as to visit Manayunk, Baltimore, or DC, and I have my two boys, 15 & 17, over every other weekend and one night a week. I love movies, so I'll watch a couple per week--subscriber of Netflix. I am gainfully employed and also own a small startup company online. I work a regular 8-4:30/weekdays.

One interesting little project I'm currently working on is translating a friend's book from Spanish for publication in English about La Ley Universal de la Atraccion y La Travesia de Maite at www.light-la.com. very interesting subject matter! which should take me a few more weeks to get through it all.

- blending in diverse settings;
- learning anything by watching someone do it;
- getting to the true essence of a person and understanding their view;
- helping to solve problems and optimize;
- avoiding things I have to do :)
- lightening up (balancing) intense moments;
- connecting very deeply with one special person;
- committing to one special person!

glasses, smile, nice guy, takes a minute to warm up then also funny, clever, insightful, and deep.

1> family&friends; b) health; III] the internet; air; five golden rings; sex(really, physical intimacy).

On the other hand, things I could do without!! Brussel sprouts, gin, retsina wine, slasher movies, smoking(anything), lawn ornaments.

gravity. literally!

@home cooking/watching a movie. I have to admit--I'm not a fan of standing in lines; why not go out on a Tuesday or Thursday and get right in?!

I've actually had cat scratch fever once; it wasn't really anything much--just swollen glands and it passed in a few days (many years ago!!)

I use composite astrology to predict, with amazing accuracy and insight, how a relationship will probably go with a potential mate. So far they've always proved to be 100% accurate! I'll be happy to do a composite profile for you and a relationship you have or had; just send me two birth dates.

My Perfect Match will be ...
- Warm, playful, affectionate], responsible, savvy, spiritual, adventurous, youthful, and attractive (to my eyes);
- Loves to travel/explore, wine/dine, appreciates culture, and many many other things. My ideal is to take turns choosing/planning things to do because we both love trying/doing new/different things;
- Cares to be healthy in all of mind, body, and spirit (not just a slogan);
- A natural beauty, strong>a great smile, and a long dark mane (as long as I'm idealizing :)
- non-smoker, or hasn't in a very long time!
- Doesn't want or already has children;
- Preferably between 38 and 52
