Gainesville, florida vegetarians, vegans and raw foodist events and singles dating

Those who know me describe me as friendly, insightful and empathetic. I prefer one-on-one meaningful interactions to large gatherings. Some of the things I enjoy: Nature walks, interesting conversations, psychology, reading a good book, snuggling, meditation and spiritual activities, singing, decluttering and organizing, writing, jigsaw puzzles, and petting friendly animals.

I am looking for a partner who is spiritually-minded, loving, intelligent & competent, and has a positive outlook on life with a sense of humor. Preferably they share interest in spending quality time away from screens and can be mindful, appreciating the small things in life.

I have been living in Florida for 10 years and been in Gainesville for about 2 years now.  I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons.  I live a healthy lifestyle and believe that good health is key to living a fulfilling life.   I work as a mechanical engineer for a medical device company.  I love my job as it helps people get and stay healthy.  I enjoy spending time outdoors and working out.   I also like listening to music, watching movies, SUP, and playing sports.   I like meeting new  people, traveling, exploring new places and culture.   Most people would describe me as easy-going, open-minded, driven, a good listener, and a foodie.  I am always ready to try new food and am a decent cook.

This will be an ongoing project.  Events outside my control brought me here before I was ready.   I have a book available on Amazon on Aug 1 and a second in Sep 1.

 I love: Laughing, encouraging and inspiring others to find joy and passion in the slightest of things. Music, movies, art, photography, beaches, sunsets, the phases of the moon. Cats, dogs, boys, girls, naked squirrels. Raw Meal, onions, garlic, spices, fresh greens, clean water, inventive cuisine, an amazing slice of well-done pizza. A good french fry can rule the world, at least temporarily. Watching a good game of soccer. Cooling down after a great workout and riding the wave of endorphins as they flow. Genealogical research. Solving a good mystery. Florida's natural parks - The Everglades, the springs in Alachua County and Ocala National Forest, Dry Tortugas. My family, my friends, my pets. Structure, goals, and accomplishments. Checklists. Chinese checkers and Mankala.

I tend to attract people who think they have known me before. In turn, they tend to divulge their entire life story and/or their deepest secrets within the first week (warning! ha ha).

I have an amazing filter through which I view reality so I always have a good time. Life is short and it's up to our attitudes to conclude who we become, who surrounds us, and ultimately, our happiness.

I say no to: Racism, homophobia, sexism, elitism, attitudes, atrocious body odor (a little is fine but full blown stench does not cut it), too much cologne, abuse, and violence.

Oddly enough, I sometimes curse like a sailor in private (pardonnez-moi). ;)
