I am an emotionally mature professional who just moved to Madison last year and have a new job, a new house and I am making a new life. I am slowing meeting new people and making new friends. I am good in one-on-one relationships and enjoy socializing in groups, but I do best with someone who is a catalyst, especially in social gatherings. I have lost the great love of my life, my soul mate. While I miss her every day, her legacy to me was to show me how to love life pionately and optimistically, knowing that life is bountiful and that what you need will come to you when you need it most – including someone to love and share life with. Whenever I start to feel low, there she is pushing me forward anytime I start to think about feeling sorry for myself. My focus is to enjoy what I find in living every day to the fullest and to be ready when that special new someone comes along. Yes, life is wonderful ... but it will be better with . . . . . . A partner to sip a gl of wine with, maybe while doing a crossword puzzle or just kicking back. A partner to walk with, or jog or work out with. A partner to listen to music with, particularly Sinatra - Ella - Groban - Johnny Mathis - Dean Martin - Natalie Cole, Michael Bublé and especially Jazz. Someone to lounge in bed with on a Saturday morning Someone to share intimate moments with, to touch - the feel of skin on skin - the first thing in the morning - the last thing at night. To hug as often in between as possible. Someone to do house work with, to make breakfast with – or for. A person not to change - never to change - but to enjoy the interests we share in common and to share the other interests that are unique and different; and most importantly, A person with a sense of humor to laugh with everyday.
