Slow-paced and looking for the same

Forty-two, born in Lexington, never saw a reason to leave. I run a small bookstore off Clays Mill and my life is quiet and I like it that way. I've been single for years because I'm picky and I refuse to settle just to not be alone. I want someone who reads, who can sit in silence comfortably, who thinks a Sunday on the porch with sweet tea is a good use of a day. I'm not interested in clubs or loud bars or anything that feels like trying too hard. I'm gentle, I'm stubborn, and I'll love you with a steadiness you didn't know existed. But I have to feel safe first.
