I smoke, and I am “youthfully challenged”. I will quit for the right person and commitment. I am retired early with an ‘old fashioned’ attitude and believe that honesty and a person’s word are their most important assets. I have seen a lot and been to a few places, I love to travel, seeing new sites and having new experiences. Yet I want to take the time to smell the roses or watch the sunset.
I believe in the values I grew up with; when you give your word, you keep it. When you say you will do something, you do it. It is just the right thing to do, and is a quality that is lacking in people today, especially men. A kiss can be a promise of something more, and your words are taken seriously and literally.
As my lady you will be treated as the lady on the pedestal. My only question is how high? I am not seeking a “long-term” relationship. At this age, this is it!
My background is computers but with a rather eclectic mix of knowledge. Camping is now out, I consider camping to be anything below a Marriott. I like classic cars and oldies music, being outdoors, enjoying the weather, the water or the sunset. I like road trips and investigating surroundings or national landmarks and nature. Romantic get-a-ways or out of the way places. Impromptu trips anywhere or nowhere, just because.
I am seeking an intelligent lady who is short, thin/petite/skinny/slender and although it is subjective, hopefully cute; an independent woman who also likes to be taken care of. We’ve paid the dues now it’s time to enjoy. So, if you like to travel, are into new adventures; write.

After speaking, meet for coffee or drinks to insure the chemistry. Following that, flowers at the door, a dinner at the place of her choice, then a walk, concert, movie, show, dancing, etc.
