Dulcineanyc, 55

Seeking emotional connection and great friendship! I'm 42, divorced with no children. I'm educated, cultured, sweet, compassionate, family oriented, positive and enjoy establishing friendships. I've always craved emotional connection with a partner and a deep bond of friendship. After many years of getting involved with people who did not fulfill me emotionally, I decided that I wish to establish a relationship based on celibacy.

I am an affectionate person: love to cuddle and hold hands, yet I do not wish to engage in a s----l relation at this point in my life, but rather develop a relationship based on a meeting of our spirits, hearts and mind. I would enjoy the company of someone who feels similar to me in that emotional and intellectual compatibility is much more important.

I love the arts, good food, nature, walks, social events, and having great conversation. Hoping to make a friend with no pressure on either one of us to adhere to our society's pressures of hooking up. We can be open minded, respectful and compassionate adults and just work toward hopefully establishing a wonderful and evolving friendship!
