looking to meet like-minded people...

I'm a positive, free spirited, resilient, down to earth and compassionate person. I love to try new things, and take time to appreciate the special little things in life. Everyone here seems to write what their friends would say about them - so here goes.. I'd be described as loyal, kind, reliable, generous, creative, good in a crisis, honest, warm and I would hope there'd be universal appreciation for my nerdy sense of humour. Life is rich and colourful, and isn't always fair but I don't waste time on bitterness. I'd like to think I have allowed my experiences to only make me wiser and more grateful for the true and simple pleasures in life. I'm looking for a friend first and eventually a partner to share in life's adventures with, a clued-up, genuine, open minded man, similar tastes, spiritual - not traditional, keen to try new things and build and learn together. Definitely not someone who sees marriage as a cultural tick box exercise
