I have a long Christian pedigree including having been a pastor and a Christian counselor. I deconverted about 8 years ago and never regretted it. Truth is more important to me than anything else.
I love to learn, think, write, create, solve problems, and get to know people deeply. My musical tastes are quite broad but I do have a weakness for 70’s pop/rock. Making love is one of the greatest privileges we have as human beings.
I manage a hotel (pic in my photos), and although I am very busy I love what I do and I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule.
I spend a lot of time by myself and let few people in my space. But the ones I do let in get all of me.
I am smart, kind, and funny. I am a bundle of contradictions. For example, most people would say I was quiet and laid back but I can be very intense and connected if the situation calls for it. Serious but silly. Smart but absent-minded. Sentimental but logical. Strong intuition, but bolstered by lots of facts.Mature but .
I have strong opinions about some things, but rarely share them unless someone is interested, or in my writing. I tend not to form strong opinions about anything until I have done exhaustive research on that particular topic.
My safe place is Starbucks, although I have to drive 22 miles from my small Southern town to get there! Other favorite environments are the middle of the woods with a stream nearby and the ocean/shore… more the rocky stormy shoreline rather than sandy beach and sunshine.
I recently bought a travel trailer and my fantasy is to someday soon live in it full time…. Spending a month at a time in wooded places around the country. (Wherever it is between 50 and 80 degrees at the time! lol) This will give me the time and space to devote most of my attention to writing.
I love getting to know people, however, I don’t have a lot of time for endless online communication without meeting in person. I find this usually ends up being fruitless.Meeting someone in person for 15 minutes tells me all I need to know as far as determining whether or not I want to develop a relationship of some kind with that person. I believe two people can decide to have whatever kind of relationship they want, as long as they both agree. Love and principles and values are more important to me than rules.
The women near me on the traditional dating sites are into God, guns, and football, none of which floats my boat. I’m hoping this site will offer a breath of fresh air!!
Feel free to say hi. I will respond to everyone. Thanks for reading!
