Hi! I'm a gentle geek hoping to find someone who's right for me...and, of course, who I'm right for too! I'm in southeastern Massachusetts, closer to Providence than Boston. Please be in my general area.

Although I'm a geek, you probably couldn't tell by looking at me. I look more like a football player, although I have absolutely no interest in sports. I love imaginative tabletop roleplaying games, and have run quite a few of them. As a bibliophile with a good memory, there are thousands of books in my head. All my life I've been collecting treasures: snatches of poetry, wonderful books, music, great movies and TV shows, and beautiful places to walk. Sharing those treasures makes me happy.

I love to laugh, cook, dream, and read. I'm a cat person. An omnivore, but a picky one. Occasionally I write a bit of poetry or a story. I make up silly songs on the fly to sing to my cat to tease him. Fortunately he doesn't understand - I hope. Otherwise I'm doomed!

Politically I'm an environmentalist, leftist, and anticapitalist (which Google says isn't a real word, no surprise there!) - but I'm not doctrinaire about it. As the full-time single father of a newly-adult son (I've been divorced for eight years), the future of the Earth is deeply important to me. I'm an atheist, but not the aggressive kind. Outreach and understanding is more my style rather than confrontation.

I don't smoke or drink, never have. I have nothing against alcohol, but I just don't like the taste of it. I've been told by many people that I'm remarkably kind. Those people must have somehow missed my occasionally dark sense of humor.

Born a redhead but bald for many years now. My beard has mostly turned white, but my mustache and eyebrows are still mostly red. A bit chunky but successfully working on it. I've been called cute more than once.

I'm demisexual. That means that for me, friendship is an absolute prerequisite for love and intimacy. I'm hoping to find a woman to laugh with, take walks, go to fun places, and share ideas. And if we happen to be able to write things together - fiction, poetry, or game scenarios - I'm *dying* to meet you! \*

\* - Just a figure of speech. I am not actually dying. 😄

\** - I'm also looking for friends of any gender who are into geeky things and having fun. Because the way things are these days, fun is an absolute necessity!

TL;DR: Funny, kind, geeky bookworm (M59) seeks F with same qualities. Object: happiness
