I am a very active person with a wide variety of interests, which include hunting, fishing, camping, singing, listening to music and watching sports occasionally on television. Now that I'm retired, I am fairly free in my scheduling and use of time. I am very easy going, with a great sense of humor, a good conversationalist and know how to treat a woman right in all aspects of life. I have an allergy to cats, so would prefer someone who doesn't have any. I have had a wide range of experience with people and therefore I am not judgmental and respect them for who they are. I am a very detailed and organized person; say what I do, do what I say, treat others the way I'd like to be treated. I am very affectionate and passionate and look for the same in my partner. I do not carry any baggage or have any "issues" which tend to have a negative affect on relationships with others. I am open to a woman of any age and ethnic background.....it's the differences that make life interesting!

The first date would really depend on the type of person I am meeting and the interests she possesses. It could be anywhere from a dinner/movie or theater, concert, play to a hike and pack a lunch, or ride to a beautiful setting and have some type of meal there. It could also be seeing the sights of something not visited before.....or just an informal gathering around lunch. It really depends on the connection.
