I have the type of personality that makes it easy for me to meet people. Most describe me as outgoing, witty, easy to talk to, open minded, and fun loving. I love to talk, but I don't monopolize the conversation, I am a great listener too. I think I have a good combination of smarts, looks, sense of humor and sense of adventure and spontanaety. Like you, I am a busy professional, so I thought I would give this site a shot. I work hard most of the week, but I think it's important to make time on the weekends to have fun! I enjoy being outdoors, going to the beach, boating, festivals, weekend trips, movies, and I'm open to new ideas and activities. I have a quirky sense of humor and enjoy laughing and making others laugh.

I am looking for a guy (40-47)who is comfortable with himself, can hang out in shorts and tee shirts, but doesn't mind going out for dinner sometimes. He may like to travel a little on the weekends to fun/romantic places, or cuddle on the sofa to watch a great movie at home, or hang out with friends at a BBQ. If you like Coen Brothers movies, Seinfeld reruns and Howard Stern, we'll have lots to talk and laugh about!

I'd like to be friends first, then if everything clicks, build from there into a long term relationship. Emailing at the beginning is fine, but ultimately I like face to face conversations much better. I think you can get a better idea of chemistry when you are in close proximity to one another...don't you? C'mon, let's chat, if you don't try, you'll never know!

Note: If you are within one year of a difficult breakup or divorce, please take more time before writing to me. I've learned first hand that folks need way more time to recover before they are ready to date and move forward and build something new with a new love interest. I'm ready...are you?

A first date might be at an outdoor cafe or a great seafood place on the water. Somewhere where we could have a good conversation and a laugh in a casual atmosphere. I'm very easy going and enjoy all types of dining, but casual is best when you are getting to know someone. I figure, the time we spend emailing back and forth about the weather, economy, etc. could be better spent at a nice cafe over a coffee or frozen drink getting to know one another. If the chemistry is right... a first date may end with a great kiss!!!
