I am divorced and have a married daughter living out of state. I am originally from the New York/New Jersey area but lived in Southern California when I was younger. I have lived in Florida since 1990. I am a former art director from New Jersey where I designed graphics for internal marketing meetings for Fortune 1000 companies as well as technical animation on Navy Training Films and doing illustrations for slide presentations in a Training Group for a major defense contractor. I am a former member of the New jersey Art Director's Club, the Graphic Artists Guild of New York as well as the Association for Business Communicators. I enjoy classical music, movies, theater, working out three days a week, Ebay, being aware of world events, family oriented events, art shows, book stores and collecting Disney memorabilia as well as going there for a few days. When I was younger, I used to play classical trumpet in local groups in New York. I am a very caring, good natured, loving and affectionate guy who loves life and would like to find that special lady who feels the same way. I am looking for an attractive woman (48-57) who is sensitive, caring and loving, educated, enjoys life and has interests and hobbies and takes pride in her appearance and likes to exercise. I am a very caring, good natured and very creative and I am not into playing games with someone's feelings and emotions.

Describing what I would like to do on a first date would depend on the conversation that I had with my potential date. Depending on how the conversation flows, I think a first meeting should be very casual in an area with other people, as a book store where we can find out if we both like each other. If we do, and want to see each other again, then we can do anything we want.
