I’d like to find the person who just “feels right” - we feel at home together, we communicate easily and have many points of reference, a common outlook, sensibilities and many common interests to share, we’re comfortable together and ultimately that special spark of chemistry has to be there that you feel but really can’t put into words. YOU: You’re very intelligent, have life-smarts, common sense and many varied experiences that have given you depth, perspective and understanding about the world. Positive, upbeat and optimistic, and choose to try to see the best in things. Genuinely nice, considerate, honest, responsible, with good manners - a real gentleman.. Healthy diet, lifestyle, take care of yourself physically but aren’t obsessed with it. Affectionate and like to show it, romantic and sensual. You have a good idea of what you need in your life to make you happy. Financially healthy and responsible. Urban/outdoorsy/coastal/global sensibilities. -------NO drug users or smokers please. ME: My perception of an ideal relationship - to strengthen each other. To respect, value, validate, love, nurture and care for each other and bring out the best in each other. I”m a caring and affectionate person who doesn’t play games and if I have someone in my life I”m devoted and loyal to them. Romantic, very intelligent, both academically and lifesmart, eclectic, health-conscious, lots of common sense. Family & friends are very important to me and I especially love celebrating holidays. I love animals, writing, dancing, the city/the shore, nature/history/culture/museums/art s, gardening, NY Yankees, cooking, travellling. Love ethnic/regional cuisines. Sushi *yum*. I've gotten around both in our country and overseas and I enjoy, respect and appreciate other places, cultures, peoples and really have a thing for learning about regional cuisines. I like to research a place before I visit it, and the internet is a huge help with that. I love the northeast - the New England coast, the great city of New York but also love warm weather/palm trees, warm sand and balmy air of tropical places. Boats/saltwater fishing are a lifelong passion and I love being on the water. Important: I love the ocean/marine environment, wish to share this lifestyle with my mate and I want to meet an experienced/responsible boater & serious saltwater fisherman. Sorry I"m NOT a sailor. I've fished inshore/offshore from the Gulf of Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. If you love the Keys we're off to a great start. I am currently in CT. (I am 44, not 38 - Site has my age incorrect - I've tried to fix this but haven't been able to).

Any activity is good as long as we can talk and get to know each other more. Perhaps a bite to eat in a low-key/interesting/fun/ethnic? place.
