Hi there, and thanks for visiting my profile. I am a semi-retired foreign language teacher who enjoys travel, bike riding, playing tennis and spending time at the beach. I am also content being at home reading a good book or watching a worthwhile movie. I love to cook and enjoy sharing my culinary delights with friends and family. I have an upbeat personality and am fun to be with. I am looking for a compatible partner, friend and lover to share the rest and BEST part of my life with. If you're looking for a woman who is honest and affectionate, confident and secure, and one who has a big zest for life, then I just might be who you are seeking. Hope to hear from you.

A great first date would be to meet for a cup of coffee, to look into each others eyes and see if there's that special spark that signals that chemistry might exist between us. Although it is often said that opposites attract...I believe the opposite is true. The more values and interests that two people share, the better the chances are for the relationship to flourish.
