I'm single yet again, and looking. I never wanted the single life, just a wonderful woman I could love and be loved by, live with and for, and have hot, gentle, passionate and nurturing sex with, and cuddle all night long before we made love again in the morning. Someone that shared a vision of the world and wished to walk life together, each appreciating the other for who we are.

I've walked this earth for too long, looking and learning, and am glad to share my understandings with fellow humans, both male and female. I've loved and lost too often, and I'm afraid the sadness of it all has become part of me, yet maybe I can still be of help to others.

I am well educated in the style of the Renaissance Man, able to do most anything, including carry a conversation across most disciplines, especially the sciences.

I currently live in southwestern United States with my two cats and a dog, in paradise yet all alone. I am quite well off and have my own financial means, so I can make my own schedule and work as much or as little as I please. It took years of struggle to get here, but I have arrived, though the solitude, while beautiful, is empty without a mate and lover.

You might wonder about my screen name - in my experience, life without a lover is wasted, one day or night at a time.

A.   4 June 2008: An important part of being one's lover/partner/wife is being there for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, including being nurse/mother/confidante, etc., at least some of the time. It's easy to be in relationship when everythi... (read in full...)

A.   23 May 2008: This question is really weird. I'm a guy and would not touch another guy's body, but it's ME, not another guy. If I love someone I will go down on her and if she does the same with me and we both cum, it's wonderful, and the next logical thing to ... (read in full...)

A.   23 May 2008: I'm glad that we can be of some help - your situation is certainly difficult. Besides the 12 step programs, some joint counseling/coaching would be very helpful. It seems the real problem is ANY drinking at a social event. Your husband wants to ... (read in full...)

Q.   So my boyfriend who i been on and off with for 3 years now is really special to me. The only thing is my parents just dont approve. When we break up they are so happy an when we are together again they get so angry at me an dont talk to me for a few ...

A.   22 May 2008: You're legally an adult, and need to make some choices. It sounds like you are not ready to get married - especially since you two are breaking up all the time. You both need to talk to each other and find out why that is happening. A good ... (read in full...)

Q.   Well there is a guy i would like to get to know and be friends with we text alot. But whenever i ask him if he wants to meet he doesnt seem to want to! Im not sure if its just because he doesnt like me or if hes too shy? So what can i do?...

A.   22 May 2008: Don't ask him if he wants to meet you - tell him you have this cool thing you want to do and it would be could if you two could do it together. He's probably shy and doesn't even know how to respond, so make it easy to say yes. If that doesn't ... (read in full...)

Q.   i have heard a lot of times that women naturally are not attracted to shorter men than them or they tend to look down on them maybe with disrespect. how true is this, ladies?...

A.   22 May 2008: I'm a tall guy, and I've seen girls I like go with shorter guys - think Woody Allen, Sonny Bono, etc. The key is to be fun, funny in a good way, somewhat brazen and in control, and good at reading women. Some of the best dancers are shorter guys, ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2008: Since it's a long time till Christmas, you have time to get ready. First off, you are nervous around women generally, not just her. As hard as it sounds, socialize, date, and sleep with other girls now - the more experienced you are, the more sure ... (read in full...)

What should I say to my ex girlfreind?

Q.   My girlfriend has dumped me and it's because of my ex. She is going out with my friend, well ex friend now, and she split us up by spreading rumours. I threatened to kill her boyfreind. What should I say to my ex girlfreind?...

A.   22 May 2008: Threatening to kill anyone will scare the girl and maybe get you arrested - definitely a bad idea. If anything happens to the guy, no matter what, you will be the first suspect. The best thing, although VERY difficult, is to let her go, dump/ign... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend (now fiancee) never buys me gifts, not even on my birthday. In truth i feel he never has the will to to do something special for me, even when occasion calls for it. What does this indicate? Don't such things come naturally when one ...

A.   19 May 2008: Actually, sometimes a man loves a woman very much, yet has no clue that she wants or expects a gift. Men and women see the world very differently, and they enrich each other's lives by sharing their worldviews and experiences. Sometimes it is best ... (read in full...)

A.   18 May 2008: This is a cosmic test, and the easy way out is to end it all. The more difficult and rewarding way is to feel the pain, handle the feelings, get beyond the anger and THEN talk about this. It may take months, or much longer - it's part of the tests ... (read in full...)
