Looking for my BFF—with romance and a suitcase ready to go\. I’m caring, generous, confident, romantic, and optimistic\. Chivalry comes naturally, whether opening your door, planning dinner out, or cooking together\. I love laughter, playful banter, and thoughtful conversation\. I can laugh at myself and know when to listen\. I believe in resolving disagreements with kindness and respect\. I’m a lawyer, author, poet, and proud Palestinian\. My latest book is *Observations of Israel’s Apartheid System*\. I’m writing a poetic novel about a Palestinian born beneath an olive tree on May 15, 1948\. Extra points if you know the date’s significance\. I’ve traveled to China, Italy, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Palestine, and Vegas, explored national parks and presidential libraries, and driven 6,800 miles on a book tour\. Plenty more adventures await\. I’d love someone special beside me for those adventures\. I enjoy movies, theater, comedy shows, and quiet evenings at home\. I drink moderately and socially\. I’m seeking a confident, intelligent woman who enjoys friendship, affection, laughter, and adventure—ideally retired and ready to travel on short notice\. Say hello\. Let’s give each other another reason to smile\. Non\-smokers only
