(Yes, these are CURRENT pics)
Hello. I'm brand new here so please don't hold that against me!!! I'm a confident, easygoing but active and motivated guy. I really like to travel and do quite a bit of that but LOVE Chicago. It's a great town in which to do everything or nothing. I like meeting people and enjoy first conversations. Meetings are what you make of them. So, should we meet, we'll have a good time whether the chemistry dictates friendship, romance or nice-ta-meetya-and-have-a-good-life.

I run my own business and thrive on creative thinking. Keeping fit is important to me but I'm not a nut about it. I appreciate beauty in many forms whether in art, music, words, foods or nature. I like women who are smart, fit, can be spontaneous and who don't mind getting their fingernails dirty from time to time. I don't really care about your race, hair color, shoe size, etc. Just be positive, open and genuinely interested in having fun.

Oh, and I appreciate the interest but sorry, I don't respond to those without a profile. C'mon in. The water's cool and refreshing!!! I look forward to connecting with you. Let's chat. PEACE

Well, I prefer to think of a first date as a first meet. You're not really "dating" on the first face-to-face. Anyway, it's an opportunity for us to determine the other's character, characteristics and whether there's any chemistry. The 3 ch's. Just made that up!!!!!! So my preference would be to meet in a coffee shop or a public park or anyplace that gives us an opportunity to laugh and talk easily.
