Day Twenty-Five: 5 to go...

SOOoooo... What am I looking for in a woman? What am I NOT looking for... two parts of the same question. I'm looking for someone who's smaller than me - (me: 5'9", 190 lbs, average build who's trying to tone up a bit). Whoever it is, I won't feel compelled to 'change' anything about her, but instead revel in our differences. Someone who has a serious life / career, yet is willing to literally let her hair down, and relax / have fun. Someone willing to be spontaneous, and try new things, whether it be a restaurant, dancing, an unexpected hike/walk, or something more intimate. Someone who doesn't have a lot of hangups about sex - as a divorced adult, I really enjoyed having an active sex life, and when my former partner closed that off with the statement, "You're not really still interested in sex at our age, are you?" I knew the marriage was over, but didn't want to admit it for the kids' sake.

Feeling the warm breezes, the smell of the roses - makes me want to plant yellow rose bushes - the beat of the music... it evokes a very pleasant all encompassing calm. I can forget the job that doesn't pay enough, and takes up too many hours, or the house that's been for sale for 8 months with no offers (and comes off the market Tuesday). I think about being with someone who is able / willing to (for example) wear a bikini, though not necessarily willing to have her picture taken in it. Someone willing to try new dance steps, and not worry about looking awkward doing so. Someone ready to try samples of different things - organic chocolate, Someone who will be supportive of my solitary writing life - scripts don't write themselves. Someone independent, but willing to be "Independent... Together."

I know... too much to ask. I feel like I'm right back to the physicist's theory... of the 3.5 Million people in the Seattle Metro area, there are probably as many as Zero people who would be a match for me... well... statistically, anyway. And as Benjamin Disraeli said, "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics".
