About me

About Me; I'm a SINGLE DAD with 2 teenage daughters who live with ME! My daughters mean the WORLD to me, but they're now old enough so that I have a great deal of time to devote to enjoying those pursuits that please me and broaden my life. I very much enjoy the outdoors and walk, hike, cycle and swim whenever I can. Country drives, antiquing, coffee and tea shops, bookstores, stationery shops and bakeries are favorite stopping off places. Museums, theater, and quality dining always make for great trips to the city with just the right companion. Indoor passions include reading mysteries, listening to music of most types (except heavy metal and rap), and cooking. I enjoy good meals, good wines, champagne, and desserts with and without chocolate. I'm inclined to be more than just a bit of a romantic when the time is right, and like to hold hands, cuddle, snuggle, and especially prefer a woman who loves kissing and does it well. I'm not a sports fan and not a couch potato. I prefer a good discussion, an intimate dinner or small friendly party, or just enjoying each other's nearness while reading or listening to music. A good DVD, not horror or violence, on occasion. Conversation is quite important to me -- I'm a good listener and want to know about things that are important to my partner, both happy and serious. I'm a caring and helping person and will definitely be there when you need me. Sincerity is something I highly value. If you're looking for someone to pass the time with while you wait for "Mr. Right," or if you just want another conquest, you'd be best off passing me by. However, if you enjoy warmth, caring, appropriate closeness and affection, I'd like to know you. Importantly; I've posted a REAL and RECENT photo. It's another "honesty" thing. If your photo is a studio glamour shot, or an "outdated" picture, please, if you decide to communicate with me, I'd love to see a more recent snapshot so there won't be any question of identity if we should eventually meet face to face. First Date; Our first "Real" date; After several exchanges of emails, several phone conversations, and a sense of "connection," we'll meet at a pleasant restaurant for drinks, and based on your interest, on to dinner and conversation. If we're genuinely enjoying each other's company and don't want the evening to end, we'll likely find a quiet cafe for dessert, coffee and maybe an after dinner drink. Back at your car I'll ask if you'd please call my cell when you arrive SAFELY at home. I'll smile and thank you for a lovely evening regardless of positive or potentially lacking chemistry. If there's a mutual feeling that we've "connected," you'll awaken the following morning to an email telling you how much I enjoyed our evening together and asking just when you think we might see each again.
