Intelligent woman who has a sense of humor would enjoy sharing some of life's best experiences with a great guy who still knows how to have fun. Honesty and sincerity are a must. You are required to not act your age. If you still enjoy good company and great conversation but are willing to be spontaneous and adventurous on occassion you may have met your match.I enjoy going to the symphony as well as a rock concert, dining in or out (it is the company that makes the meal IMO!, farmer's markets on Sat AM are a must, dancing even if it is alone in my kitchen, reading a good book cozied up to that special someone, playing the piano, teasing the dog, experimenting with my old camera, going for a bike ride or long walk.
Every minute spent worrying,angry or complaining is a minute of potential happiness that you can never get back. Enjoy the journey not just the destination!
I think all of us are looking for a long term relationship but you have to start somewhere. Some of us have gifts that may get overlooked initially, but if you invest in a relationship you may be amazed at your return!

First dates are usually awkward so anything that is relaxing, stress-free and makes it easier for 2 people to talk, open up a bit and laugh works for me. Coffee, an ice cream cone,****ails, a light meal... as long as it is a public place. No, the casino or mall would not be on my list. No expectation or obligation if we don't click. If we do hit it off,let's see where the journey takes us.
