Old hippie-scholar seeks match

I Would Describe Myself As

Tallish, balding, pony-tailed, bespectacled part-time university lecturer (Sanskrit and Buddhist studies), on the lean side of average, who hasn't (yet) quit smoking. Slow off the mark, but can go the distance. Jewish-English ironic sense of humour. Bookworm. Author. Cyclist. Walker. Divorced with one child (daughter) about to go to university. Not quite English-French bilingual. Raised by non-observant parents in a non-observant way: never bar-mitzvah'd, never learned Hebrew. Not from a close-knit family. Shy-until-I-get-to-know you type.Not adept at reading women's minds. Financially secure, not wealthy. Under my daughter's influence, have become a theatre-goer. Love and fear the power and beauty of language (en cherchant toujours le mot juste). Very much the jeans-and-tshirt type.
