I don't want to bore you with the same excruciating minutiae of profiles you've come across. I have this built up fantasy of what my lady will be like. But it’s unlikely the real person I am about to meet will match the “dream date” I've conjured up-and that’s OK. You may still be wonderful. I try not to judge and get to know this lady for who she is. When we mutually agree to meet for a coffee or drink, expect a warm and friendly greeting. If our expextations are not quite what we'd anticipated, we can gracefully part company; however, should there be some excitement in the air-we can agree to see each other again. Fast forward; a fine restaurant, order a fine meal and a bottle of wine-I will offer my jacket if you find yourself feeling chilly, and gladly pick up the tab. Afterward , a movie, or go dancing-or whatever your heart desires, I'll gladly accommodate you; and if in the course of the evening, you inadvertently mention that your birthday is coming up soon, you'll be the recipient of a dozen roses on that special day. The night is young, we go for a leisurely stroll, you have my undivided attention as you eloquently and passionately talk about your children, interests, hobbies, your travels, other aspirations and desires you might have, your trials and tribulations you have endured or anything else
you might want to express. I'll open up with an equal and unbridled enthusiasm with respect to my personal experiences and interests. As we exchange few ideas, we come to know a little more about each other. From here onward- to endless possibilities. I would prefer to meet a well-adjusted, emotionally mature, cultured, genuine and fit lady with limited personal issues.
Remember: "Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men."

Meet for a coffee or drink-depending on the time of the day and mood. Second date?
Depends on the outcome of the first.
