I'm just here to have some fun with dating and see what happens; making friends is fine and finding romance is even better. In the meantime, let's relax and enjoy meeting someone new!

I still hold out hope for a life-altering experience with someone I want to be my partner. I miss the rush of romantic love and would like to find the woman who dovetails with me as best friend and lover.

I live in a small home in south Minneapolis; my two sons visit every other weekend and twice a week. I'm not rich, but keep my bills paid and have a car. (Is that really a stock question on this site?)

I play guitar and sing for fun. I like to cook; anything from scratch soup to a holiday feast. Dining out is good. One of my favorites is Broder's Pasta Bar.

I like to see concerts, film and theater. Most recently, I saw the Great Lake Swimmers and attended one of the shows in the WomenFolk series. I'd rather go to an intimate club like The Dakota or Fine Line than a big can like Target Center or Xcel.

Spectator sports and motorized activities don't thrill me, but I like to get outside and hike, bike and just throw a Frisbee. One of my favorite activities in the summer is to walk to Minnehaha Falls and get a bite at Sea Salt.

I'd love to find a dance partner who has interest in learning salsa or tango with me. Or can teach me!

Coffee, a drink or an outdoor activity like a walk or bike ride. Maybe Scrabble, but just to make nice words, not count the points.
