English, German

“ I have a satisfying job (I get to teach my native language: German), two fantastic kids (13 and 19 yrs. old) and a strong sense of self (plus some pretty strong liberal-progressive opinions). What's lacking is a woman who wants to share in my passions (conviction-rich dinner conversations, long hikes, edgy TV shows/movies, music and reading) and wants to build a god and church-free reality together. I'm a very loyal man determined not to be alone for long after my former love broke off our engagement. When it comes to dining out, traveling and other luxuries I prefer quality over quantity; the same goes for conversation and social contacts in general. One of my more pronounced aversions is against nasty right-wing points of view. I consider myself curious and open-minded, yet often I need other people to push me a bit and draw my attention to ideas, styles and experiences that I had previously ignored. My ideal match? I gain the most satisfaction from meeting and befriending people with complex - not complicated! - personalities who can also lighten up and be a bit unconventional. The woman of my dreams has traveled some (maybe also outside of the U.S.), speaks a foreign language (I'd die for German!), is emotionally secure, physically active and reads. Good looks don't hurt, but she shouldn't let everyone know that she knows she's good-looking. She should be passionate and loyal but not overly possessive; however I do think public display of affection can be a beautiful thing. She should have the courage to discuss relationship issues and other problems, as pretending they don't exist can be fatal (I know!). My match should also believe in her abilities and strengths and have a certain focus in her professional life. Children shouldn't be a problem, I have two of my own. If she does have kids, she should take pride in being a very involved, passionate parent - that's how I'd describe my own parenting role. Finally, her romantic persona is genuinely part of who she is, and giving and taking on equal terms comes naturally to her. ”
