Hello! I separated last year from a long-term marriage I'm currently going through the divorce process; although, I have been "single" for years in an unfulfilled relationship. I am not bitter and acknowledge that divorce is just a process from this point forward. In spite of that, I still have faith in relationships and in love.
My natural personality is that of a moderate introvert but I enjoy and open up to those with whom I feel an interpersonal connection. This is not dependent upon having a romantic connection; rather, it is about interpersonal energy and compatibility.
I am a full-time graduate student; my schedule is flexible and I have a moderate amount of time in my schedule for socializing.
I love wry humor, domestic and global politics (I'm a progressive), business, red wine, delicious food, and helping others. Dogs are OK in my book; I do not own any pets and will never be convinced that your pets are on par with people. People are people and pets are pets.
I am moderately fit; although, I have not been committed to my daily running and biking in the past year or so. If you have a bicycle and would like to ride, that would be fantastic.
My Ideal Person
I am African American and I am open to meeting a man of any race, including AA, Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, or Caucasian.
My goal in being on this site is to find a brilliant, reliable, clean, available, gentle, and moderately fit social and intimate partner for dating and friendship. You are not required to be a perfectly fit man, as most of us have a little "extra" here and there. But you should be generally conscientious of your health. I do not smoke and I don't care you indulge in Hippie smoke.
I love technology and use it as a primary form of communication. You should be able and willing to chat, text and email (or at least learn how).
I love intimacy but I am very, very discreet and seek quality, not quantity. You should have a healthy intimate appetite and appreciation for romance and sensuality. You should be kind, educated, well groomed, single (separated or divorced) and have a decent sense of humor (think David Letterman, Larry David and Bill Maher). Your desire to learn to dance salsa, ballroom or tango is a plus.
You must submit a photograph and tell me about yourself. PLEASE do not send a "one size fits all" email or ask me to meet, without telling me about yourself. Your email must, at minimum, be indicative of you having actually read and thought about my profile.
Please do not contact me if you are a serial daters or promiscuous man.
