Do you ever read through past correspondance and ask "What happened?" That is the case with a guy I apparently emailed back and forth but never met. I know that the internet gives us the ability to decide in an instant about people. Sometimes these first impressions are confirmed by real life meetings, and sometimes they are not. People can appear more charming in person, and you are glad that you gave them a chance. I don't know how this guy would have stood up under the cold harsh light of reality, but on paper he is looking pretty good. Maybe it was a whiff of snobbery, or something else that I can't divine from year old emails, but I didn't meet him in person. What a shame.
A little about me: I have a job I love and am passionate about..and actually enjoy..I love chess and long talks that go everywhere and no where. I'd love to chat about lifes quandaries with you.
I love meaningful relationships and love the road less travelled.
Where have you traveled? I have traveled and taught around the world and met amazing people, cultures and life itself.
I love someone who has big dreams and big ideas..someone who can have conversations that go everywhere and nowhere. Does that make sense??
I taught English Literature around the world in the UK/USA/Australia/NZ/Vietnam and other places..I have always been actively involved in my community and am passionate about education and the role it can play in making a difference to peoples lives..
I love adventure and have sailed a tall ship for three months around Indonesia and have opened up and established my own preschool..I fence, walk, play chess and dream big dreams..I love to have quiet nights curled up on the couch..planning the next big journey and supporting my partner.
I currently teach English Literature at a college and love it..I love seeing people learn and agree that people are more important than objects and acquisitions..a soul is divine, a carpet is not..priorities are everything and say so much about the character..
I believe good relationships are built by hard work and a willingness to understand each others spiritual and emotional journey…
I have a British/Australian accent and would include a pic but it is too big to include in the CL emailer..but I can include one if you email me.
Would love to hear from you
I love literature and am currently reading John Fowles..The Magus..a wonderful book combining spirituality, philosophy, and metaphysics..
I love movies and love anything from Shakespeare to South Park
Look forward to hearing from you
Cheers
David
I mean - come on! An accent, well read, eloquent, travels, fences? There were slight red flags at his use of the word "Partner" and maybe too many references to the spiritual for me (I picture Tim Robbins in "High Fidelity") but I think my standards might have been a little high. Aren't I the girl who has dated an unemployed pool shark, a wannabe singer/songwriter/trivia master, a professional clown who couldn't commit, a married guy who could - but not to me, and a guy who couldn't figure out which character was the villian in the Disney movie "Aladin"?
Well, David, if you are out there - contact me through this blog!
