I enjoy entertaining.. great food and great friends...times that connect people.. and interesting conversation. I enjoy time spent with my children, family and friends. I love being near the water and the smell of the ocean. . long walks and coffee on the beach (sunrise and sunset). Adventures! I enjoy gardening...walking or bike riding . golfing, canoeing, kayaking..and the outdoors.
I love laughter( laughing until your belly hurts) and having fun. I love bear hugs and holding hands... stargazing, listening to thunder or gentle rain. I enjoy the movies, and/or dinner out, the fall colors and Saturday afternoon football games, the fresh fallen snow, and cuddling near a crackling fire while the wind howls outside.
I enjoy and listen to all different types of music...from Classical to Rock and everything in between.
Although I respect a person's choice to smoke, I view "smoking" as a definite "deal breaker"

The 1st meeting could be after a few phone calls to each other...The 1st meeting... simple and sweet...with the anticipation of an off line connection... meet for coffee or wine.. somewhere where we can talk and get acquainted.
The 1st date would be decided by the two of us...something we both enjoy.
