I am passionate about Life itself. The chance each day to do things better than you did the day before.
Other things I am passionate about is nature, spending time outdoors - hiking, listen to the birds, leaves, water, and enjoying the beauty of colors and shapes in nature; live music; theater - especially musicals.
I also love great conversation about anything and everything, and just spending good quality time with people I care about.
I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, and meeting new people.
Reading books is another favorite past time of mine. But I also enjoy visiting festivals.

I am seeking an honest, compassionate, kind and caring soul and life partner. Respectful and respecting to others. Someone who knows what he wants and knows how to get it.
I believe that respect, trust and open communication are the foundations for any good relationship. I also live to enjoy life and try to have fun with new experiences and everything I do.

Please be honest, caring, loyal, between 38 and 52 years old, and hopefully taller than myself (6ft +). I am looking for ONE man for serious dating or for a long-term relationship.

For a first date from an online dating forum, I prefer meeting someone for a cup of tea or coffee at a local coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon. If there is chemistry, this is a nice way to have good conversation and a chance to talk as much we want. But if there isn't any chemistry, this is a nice way to spend a half hour meeting someone for a cup of coffee on a Sunday without wasting much money.
If I already know the person, then something fun or dinner and a walk.
