My sincere apologies to those who have written and have not heard back from me. When I created this profile, I created too an email address to go along with it, and I put all information on one piece of paper. Dumb. The paper got lost, and it was a struggle to figure out how to log back on. I am generally not that careless. I got some nice replies, so thank you for those. I got some too that geographically are not local to me. I really want and need to emphasis that point: it's local, or it's bust. I would consider anything within an hour local enough, the closer, the better. Thanks for understanding.

I want to say too that I am not looking to move in with anyone, I am not looking for a 24/7 situation, and I won't call you Sir if I have never even exchanged a single word with you. I am looking for a teacher, a mentor, or a good play partner. None of us ever quite knows what the future may bring, and I am open to seeing how things might develop between two people, but for right now, I am clear about wanting to find a play partner. Does that sound limited or crass?? I don't know, it might, but I don't mean it to come across that way.  I hear lots of mention of "teacher and mentor" but almost doubt those things exist. Do they?? I would like to know, and if possible, I'd like to find a good one. I want this to be uncomplicated. I want it to be smart. I want to dive in and get serious about play and all things it can mean between two people. I am not here because I am curious. I am well beyond that. I can explain more later, but really....I am not a newbie looking to be shown the ropes. I'm just simply hoping to find rope and someone who really knows how to use it.

I know this all sounds so serious. I am actually reading what I am writing and thinking, "Sheesh, girl..you sound kinda boring and far too serious!". I not those things. Honestly. But I am trying to weed out those that would not be a good match for me. I guess my hope is that someone will fit the criteria and come on to me with force and determination, AND they'll be local!  That would be so ideal!  :-)

That's it for now. Not too short on words, am I?? Thanks for reading.
