I listen to country music. I enjoy being with friends, cook outs or just sitting around talking. Long drives on the back of a Harley. Love candles, intimate dinners. My idea of a perfect man for a long term relationship is one that can make me laugh, one that is thoughtful, considerate and faithful. Trust is a very important aspect of a relationship to me. My children are grown and out of the house so I am interested in starting to live and experience life again. All of my friends do consider me to be the shoulder that they turn to in the times they need one, I can find the humor of any situation and try to lighten the load for them. But I am also very open, honest with my opinions and do not mince my words. But I do this in a way that is noncritical. Deep down I am a very romantic person who loves to reciprocate when things are done for me.

My idea of a perfect first date would be a setting that would allow us to get to know each other: a day ride through the mountain trails, a country concert in the park, a walk by the river's edge.
