In reality all relationships that endure begin by dating - it's the way people get to know one another. And if there is chemistry - great if not, it's the time to know.
I'm interested in photography and computers - I exercise regularly - usually daily I've been very fortunate in that all my children have or are completing their college educations. My youngest daughter is an elementary school teacher - graduated with a 3.96 grade avg. All have done well in school.
Like all guys I am looking for someone who is, in my eyes, attractive physically and with whom I can call my best friend - I really believe an emotional tie needs the foundation of true friendship.
I'm pretty straight forward - what you see is what you get.
I like most music - no rap nor nothing of that genre. Good food - love Italian with a nice glass of wine.

Someplace quiet - maybe a coffee shop or restaurant - where you can enjoy getting to know something of the other person. A good glass of wine or great coffee would be a good starting point
