I am looking for a life mate. My children are getting older and I am beginning to realize that I need to get a life that doesn't revolve around them exclusively. Who wants to experience the AHA moments in life without being able to share them. I am looking for someone who is secure both emotionally as well as financially. I prefer people with a wicked sense of humor, but someone who has empathy for their fellow human being.

My first date would be something casual like a cup of coffee. I think you can get a sense of a connection pretty much right away. So shorter is better depending on how it goes.
