About me: I'm engaged and dedicated to the life I have chosen with my partner. We all have our reasons for being here, and for now I'll just say that I am not getting all of my needs met and enjoy the excitement and energy of a secret romance. It's a selfish impulse and I'm ok with it. Life is too short, existence too mysterious and impermanent not to pursue the desires that burn within.

I'm a musician and like to dabble in all things artistically creative. I am sensitive and compassionate and think deeply about the world around me. I've gathered enough wisdom to know that, ultimately, I don't know SHIT. It reminds me to stay humble and always be open to learning something new, or to rethink something I thought I knew. I like to read. Fiction, nonfiction, it doesn't matter as long as it is interesting. I enjoy sharing and talking about music, movies, books, etc. I have a weird sense of humor that ranges from dark and dry sarcasm to beyond-dad humor, and never feel more alive than when I connect with someone who gets it.

Emotional and intellectual attraction are important to me, but so is the physical. I'm 5'11", brown hair, blue eyes, fit, active, and secure in my looks. I have no problem exchanging photos early on so we don't waste time if there is no physical attraction.

About you: In a similar LTR situation and have made peace with your need for an affair. You care about your partner and will be careful not to hurt them. Quick-witted and playful. Open-minded and eternally curious. You like to tease, but aren't afraid to show your soft and comforting side as well. You appreciate the arts, and major bonus points if you are actively creative yourself. You'll "yes, and..." my silly comedic ventures. You're open to a deep and potentially longterm connection that is constructive and supportive of my life outside of our relationship (as I will also be). You are kind to strangers, especially service workers. You take care of your body and are confident in your physical appearance.

If any of this interests or sounds like you, I look forward to hearing from you!
