I am an on-the-go person and very independent. I feel that to look for approval or permission is a sign of insecurity. I like to go to Florida often as I still own my house there and love to go to the corvette cruise nights. Maine on some weekends to go see my kids is always fun as well. If weekend getaways and lots of fun is your ticket, then respond. Oh yeah, I also have 2 Siberian Huskies.

As for what I'm looking for, a woman that wants to be treated like a woman. I do still open doors for a lady, so if this is a problem, we won't do well. I'm not into head games or the control thing. Honest and sincere are always good policies to live by. Arguing and fighting is not a source of foreplay for me, so it will be extremely rare for me to participate. I like calm cool environments. Lay back and enjoy the ride, I always say. If you possess these qualities - GREAT.

I am a firm believer that life is only 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it.

I enjoy dinner and quiet walks. Talking to the person I am with allows me to get a feel if this person is the one that I can spend time with and share feelings. All first dates must be a truly memorable experience to be a lasting one. Remember, middle age is when you choose a cereal for the fiber content and not the toy.
