For you - If you admire intelligence and honesty, I may be your ideal match.

For me - I am attracted to women who are spontaneous, sensual, and seductive (my three S's) - no handshakers for me. Chemistry is an important part of what I am looking for and I am a giver who appreciates reciprocity.

My interests are very diverse, so I don't fit in any package. I have had performing arts tickets for over a dozen years. I also like sports, fine restaurants, and the zoo. (Have you been to the Galapagos or Yellowstone National Park? How about the Wild Animal Park)? I love to cook and sometimes experiment with new dishes, which means that we may be going out to eat unexpectedly when my concoction doesn't come out as planned. LOL (Can you relate?)

My Goal - Now I want to truly enjoy the next phase - one of the reasons I became a travel agent after retirement. So I am looking for someone who also likes to travel and has the availablity to do so; someone who enjoys doing many of the things I like to do.

My History - I have had an interesting life both professionally and personally. I was a practicing CPA for over 30 years, though I spent the last ten training others in the areas of ethics and fraud. I authored a book and wrote a weekly column for The Wall Street Journal. I helped run a Governor's campaign and have attended two Presidential inaugurations - the last one with someone I met online.

If you are ready to enjoy life and have the flexibility in your life to do so, let's see if we are a match.

First dates depend a lot on how long we "talk" before we meet. I found this to be a very individual thing. It could be a simple coffee or dessert or it could be more if we have established a better connection.
