Enjoy a good read, all kinds of travel,being outdoors in warm weather, quiet times. Would like to have a vehicle to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate, particularly 3rd world countries. Live an independent life,have one adult child, involved in community and global organizations and hope to live abroad soon doing charitable type work. Have an interest in politics and how those decisions impact on daily lives of ordinary people. I enjoy a variety of music ...no rap or opera . Am fit , enjoy exercise , being a good citizen and being a good neighbour. Enjoy cooking, entertaining , people ingeneral.

For a first date: I would enjoy a well-dressed, well-groomed man arriving at my door with perhaps flowers, a single rose, whatever he chooses. I would hope he would have made dinner reservations at a nice restaurant... candlelight, good conversation, easy laughter make for an stimulating and enjoyable evening.No personal intrusions or poor me stories, please. I am interested in a man who is confident, has goals and knows how to be comfortable with himself and the opposite sex .A kiss on the cheek ( or not ) would be an appropriate end to a first date.
