Intellectual Hottie Seeking Same I'm a divorced weekend mum of two. I'm also a new atheist, having made the leap from agnostic a few months ago. I'm excited about this new found independence and I'm eager to learn more. I'd love to share the journey with someone special. Regardless, I enjoy meeting new people and appreciate the opportunity to see the world from another's perch. It's with another perspective that we can see greater definition in the world around us. I tend to stop and smell the roses. I consider myself a positive person and want to inspire others similarly. I strive to leave others better than I found them.
I'm looking for a friend first and then... the ----ful surge of hormones that comes with true chemistry. I realize it's fairly difficult to determine chemistry via the digital universe so an in-person meeting might be helpful. So I'm looking for someone who would be willing to do just that; meet in person.
I find myself drawn to others who value authenticity in their interactions and know how to be genuine. I don't want to get to know a persona, I want to get to know the real person. I appreciate the trust it takes to be real. I seek those that also appreciate authenticity and are up for risk because they also understand the payoff.
