Shortly after turning 35 I had a long conversation with a woman at a bar, but the only thing I can still remember is this: "You have lived half of your life. What are you going to do with the other half?" Two years later that question still haunts my psyche, but it has evolved more into "so when are you going to get on with you life?" By the time I had turned 30, I had already fulfilled most of my life's goals and dreams. The outstanding one's, except for finding a like-minded remaining-life-long partner, I would fulfill in the later stages of my career and/or upon retirement. The goal of finding a like-minded remaining-life-long partner does not necessarily translate into marriage and family, but I am not against it either. What life-long translates into is negotiable. What is not negotiable is her being like-minded. The likes/dislikes and physical attributes of my like-minded partner are not as important as her inherent kindness, gentleness and understanding as well as her need to be non-traditional, fiercely independent and open to new ideas. This leads me the Personals. This time around my purpose is to find a like-mined woman that can share the other half of our lives together.
