Hi and thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm looking for friendship at first and then if we find ourselves thinking about the other after we have met then I would like more. Ideally, I would like you to be aged 39-47yrs and be 5'4" or taller.

I love movies that stimulate the emotions- ones that can make you laugh, cry or just feel "alive". While I'm a "typical guy" in that I am visual and love a woman who is well groomed, it's also very important to me that we can connect on a mental level through open conversation. Watching sports on TV does not interest me in the least but enjoying a nice meal with the sound of the ocean does. I'm looking for a best friend and lover, a woman I can be proud to take to work functions/family gatherings/social functions and even if we are standing on opposite sides of the room we can still feel connected simply be catching each others eye and smiling. I love music of all kinds from ballads to movie sountracks and dance. While different interests in a relationship can enrich both of us, it is important that we have similar values when it comes to the important issues. There's lots more to discover about each other so why not take a chance and send a message.

For a first date (not our first meeting - that would be just a coffee) It would have to be dinner. Why you ask? It gives us a chance to get to know one another, break bread together and an opportunity to look our best ! That said, sometimes an impromptu get together also is a great way to see each other in a natural light.
