I thrive on people, especially female people. I need someone to love and look after. Someone eager to do the same for me. I'm bookish and introspective. So someone like that or appreciative of it might be best. I do not drink; smoke occasionally and use cannabis to treat chronic pain and stress.
I adore movies and music, good lively conversation, sharing things, big or little.
I'm entirely a Leo and try to accentuate a Leo's positives and suppress his negatives. I see the best in others as I do in myself. I'm told I'm a great listener. I'm politically progressive and smile everytime I hear Barack Obama's name.
I served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Viet Nam.
I have no children and have been divorced 15 years. I've been married twice.
I'm openminded, curious about everything and seek someone very similar. CFIDS/fibromyalgia and soliotic arthritis limit my physical activity. I can do almost anything, but not for long or very hard. My endurance is history.
I love going out and having fun: dinner, theater, film, sightseeing, etc.
I've been a lay councillor for 30 years, working with people in recovery from addiction, abuse or, simply life.
Helping others is a deep need for me.
I'm honest and don't mince words. If I choose to be critical I do it to a person's face.
I'm very happy hanging out at home with a close other.
I am patient and understanding. I've lived a humbling life. Which is not to say that stroking my ego doesn't get you where you want to go with me. {^

Life is a struggle because of my disabilities, but it is loneliness that hurts the most.
Seeking someone is not a trivial pursuit for me. I'm real serious about it.
