looking for somene with diverse interests and someone who enjoys intellectual conversation as well as having fun....you must meet me to discover my uniqueness and i am sure you will be impressed....i like all kinds of music but prefer classical, jazz and romantic ballads, opera. I am a former high school English teacher with a humanities specialty; background in classical piano...I am also a former residential home builder who, due to to the economy ,is involuntarily retired. I am very interested in politics and economics and am very well informed....require stimulating conversation but am considered quite charming as well....my profile says I am 52, this is an error, I am a bit older that that but the pics are current and people say I look and act much younger than my age...I walk 4 miles a day and like to spend a lot of time in the water when in Naples. I also have a home in Michigan where my son lives so I travel back and forth. I am looking for a sophisticated, charming and honest man....I am financially secure but am not looking to take care of anyone since I have been doing that all my life and want to be with someone who wants me, not necessarily needs me.

arranging a place to be at a certain time and place.....describing each other and if their is a mutual attraction then introductions would follow....why commit to spending a hour over drinks or dinner when you are clearly not attracted to the other....it would be intriguing and fun....and then, you get to find out for yourself if the person is really telling the truth about how physically attractive they are....the second step would to be to find out if they are really as great as they say they are...
