Chemistry, fun, sex and just being together. Now that's a combination better than a carmel macciato! You must must must be intelligent and attractive, interesting and at least a little outgoing. I tend to be attracted to well-educated women, well-travelled women, who have interests similar to world cultures, philosophies and cuisine...or maybe you can surprise me with your own alluring uniqueness? Age doesn't matter, though I doubt I would have much in common with someone much younger. I value friendship without romance, romance without sex, friendship with romance, but believe it or not, I am not into sex without anything else. Yes, I do like to hang out, do things together, or just a walk and talk. I am open, respectful and polite. Please be the same. I'm not looking for someone who I can easily picture on Jerry Springer.

I would hope a first date would lead to a connection of some sort...defined as a sort of 'special synergy' that both personalities harmonise with and mutually recognise. Plus in these modern times, I like a woman to make the first move for a change.
