I am honest and trustworthy. Loyal to a fault. Love most sports and participate when able. I am starting to develope wood working as a hobby, and am very handy at fixing things around the house. Seeking to start over after a long relationship of 35 plus years and looking for new friends and or LTR if it goes there. The old ways of manners & respect still hold value with me but I find some appeal and curiosity in the new ways of e-dating and meeting others somewhat intriguing. I'm 5'9" and of athletic build. Living in the moment is what I am learning and have found joy and happiness in that. Listening, empathy, open and honest communication, and understanding is something I strongly believe in. Being able to listen and relate is one of the most crucial things a relationship must possess. Kindness and understanding for one another is a must. Public displays of affection such as holding hands, kissing, staring into each others eyes or other acceptable things mean a lot. I listen to all kinds of music but don"t handle rap too well. If this sounds like the type of man you want a relationship with then send me a message and let's see how it will work!

First encounter could be a casual meeting at a coffee shop, ice cream parlor or resturant where we could explore our common interests, establish understanding, discover any chemistry between us, and enjoy each others unique identity and values. If things go well then who knows what could be next!
