1. It's been so long since I've been either. :(

2. Yes, both.

3. Yes, but I wish it was more heartfelt than intellectual.

5. Yes.

6. Hell no!

7. I don't think so.

8. All the time.

9. I'd feel like I made a huge mistake and I didn't know her at all. That's a deal-breaker for me.

10. I want more confidence, peace, health and motivation. I want less stress and worry about things I can't control.

11. Yes.

12. I've always said being a writer but I don't write much anymore, so I don't know. How about independently wealthy jet-setter? :)

13. 22.

I'll pursue if I have to but I'm used to being pursued

Yes, I'll do whatever is necessary to let someone know I care about them. In my own way and it's different for everyone

I have tons of faith

Made an important phone call

Totally valued but not fully appreciated all the time at work

I've been topless at a nude beach-no problem, but totally nude feels odd

Yes (thankfully)I'll always accept a drink

All the time, and my parents always have (thankfully)

I would be shocked but we'd discuss and go from there

Warm weather, less anger

Totally believe. It happened to my parents

A job that doesn't exist- I want to tell people when to shut up

Whatever # came to me at the time of the spin

2. Yes
3. Yes - always
4. Went to Florida
5. Most of the time
6. No

8. What parents?
9. I would feel hurt and then jeolous
10. Money
11. Work
12. Yes

Good questions!

Oh, great questions!

are you more the pursuer or the pursued?
-- I don't even know how to answer this, I've been married forever! :)

is it important to you that the people in your life know you care about them? do you show it or say it? both? neither?
-- YES! Very important. I say it and show it.

do you have faith?
-- Yes, faith in myself, my wife, us, our daughter, our friends, and faith in my religious beliefs.

what was the last spontaneous thing you did?
-- Yesterday we skipped church and went to Mystic.

do you feel valued in your work/profession?
-- Yes

would you feel comfortable being nude at an optional clothing beach?
-- Oh hell no!

has anyone ever sent you a drink at a bar?
--I've never been to a bar by myself. I've only been a handful of times, and always with my wife, or prior to her my ex.

do your parents tell you they love you?
-- When they were alive, yes. We NEVER said goodbye in person or on the phone without saying, "I love you."

how would you feel if your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife said they wanted to explore having an open relationship?
-- That is not an acceptable option in our life

what do you want more of in your life?
-- Time to do some kind of volunteer work that makes a difference in the lives of others

what do you want less of?
-- Worry about illness and growing old

do you believe in love at first sight?
-- I believe in strong attraction and lust at first sight, but I think love has to grow, if it is mature love

what job, other than your own, would you like?
-- Child Life Specialist at a hospital

if you put down a bet on a rouleette wheel, what number what you bet on?
-- Hmmm, either 6 or 7

are you more the pursuer or the pursued?
-I've been in a relationship so long I don't know. I guess since I'm pretty shy I'm going to say pursued.

is it important to you that the people in your life know you care about them? do you show it or say it? both? neither?
-yes. I'm more of an action rather than words type of a person.

do you have faith?
-no

what was the last spontaneous thing you did?
-uh...a few weeks ago I surprised BP with a picnic at this quiet park where we used to go meet up to eat on our lunch hour.

do you feel valued in your work/profession?
-no

would you feel comfortable being nude at an optional clothing beach?
-eh, I don't know. If everyone on the beach was nude, maybe.

has anyone ever sent you a drink at a bar?
-yes

do your parents tell you they love you?
-my mom does

how would you feel if your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife said they wanted to explore having an open relationship?
-I don't know. On some levels I think that if that is what she needed at that point in her life then she needs to do what makes her happy as long as it wasn't taking away from our relationship. I don't expect to be able to be everything she needs at every phase of her life. As long as it doesn't take away from us, then what can I say. It's her life. But I know I couldn't really handle knowing. I'd much rather she just cheated and never told me.

what do you want more of in your life?
-a sense of purpose

what do you want less of?
-worry and guilt

do you believe in love at first sight?
-well sort of. I believe you know right away when you've met someone you could spend your life with.

what job, other than your own, would you like?
-architect

if you put down a bet on a rouleette wheel, what number what you bet on?
-I'd never bet one number, the odds are too high.
