I have achieved most goals and aspirations and work now within that realm. Highly educated - not for money, but for a lifestyle. Greatly varied in musical tastes Harry Chapin, FloRida, Lady GaGa, Eric Clapton, Elton John, VanMorrison, Supertramp, Moody Blues.... - most anything - can't stand thrash metal though. My hobbies: Flower garden & pond, and hi-tec. Mcycle is my friend. Please NOTE: I am a rookie at this - cut me some slack!!!

First - i would make it clear there is no pressure, but i want the date to be very pleasure oriented. Likely a bike ride - chat a bit and have a bit of fun, then a light dinner at a unique little independent place, perhaps a movie, a hottub and more chatting - some wine (or drink of her choice)and more chatting over some tunes or over another movie where we really aren't watching but it is there in the background - truly want to get to know the person. Am a rookie at this too!!! Is OK if you can't handle this on 1st, but likely worth a try. Can always do the regular coffee/pub chat thing too. Don't you wonder why i would suggest the above as a first date?!
