First things first. Honesty but not to a fault, you don't have to tell me your life story on the first meetup. Humor, ya have to laugh Comfortable in your skin, if you have issues work them out with a skrink. Money, you have your own.
Kids, no young children, and this is because if you have young kids at this age you have a younger ex-wife that you don't get along with otherwise you'd still be married. You have to like the outdoors, I love the woods, fishing, boating, the beach (but not at night, I don't walk on the beach or drink wine or moon over the moon). O one other big thing, I like guns. They're fun to shoot and great for protection in these dangerous times. If you live in another state, why would you want to get involved? I like to do things but if I wait 5-6-7 hours or more while you get here the mood will probely pass; so in this realm think local not global.

No more then an hour the first time. I think you can find out about chemistry or sparks of interest in an hour. I don't think you should spend money on me if you're not interested, so no dinner date, just a tea or a drink.
