I am a (mostly retired) forensic psychologist, entrepeneur, and former professor. I was widowed in 2008. I seek a dynamic, smart and attractive person to share with now. Compassion for others and a sophisticated view of the world would help. I have traveled extensively and expect to do more of it. I can be funny and also enjoy serious talk with smart people. I am never pretentious, often affectionate and always caring. I am young in spirit and outlook, and if my age turns you off, please accept my apologies. Concerts, a flea market, visiting a museum, finding a new ethnic eatery or just sitting close to someone I care about and watching T.V. or listening to music are all fun. I seek a woman who is comfortable with herself, and can give and accept affection. A recent photo will be appreciated. Please send me a note and I will answer.

I would like to meet a new person for lunch or dinner or over coffee or a drink, and find out about her. I'm especially interested in intelligence, openness, sense of humor and compassion for others. Physical attraction is also important. Recognizing that the person will probably be as awkward as myself as the outset, I would hope to help her(and myself) simply to feel comfortable and speak freely. I think most people can tell pretty quickly if they are interested in each other.

I have a lot of stories to tell but enjoy listening to others tell theirs.
