Hello. Let me start by saying that I'm not looking for casual, and all the games and drama that go with it. I am 47 and a native Chicagoan. I grew up in the South burbs, and have lived in the city for 17 years. Life is short, so sometimes you really have to stop the every day crazy routine most of us have, take a step back, and enjoy the simple things in life. I'm very fortunate to have wonderful family and friends in my life, and enjoy spending time with them as often as possible. I enjoy movies, concerts, travel and of course a great glass of wine! I'm looking for a person who makes me laugh (and of course, loves to laugh himself)! He should be confident and intelligent, kind and gentle, and know how to treat others with respect. And a wacky sense of humor is a plus!! Oh yes, and did I mention sane? LOL

I'd like to meet somewhere that is fairly quiet, so we can talk and get to know each other.
