I'm hoping for a dating relationship that leads to something long term and real. I'll settle for having a fun relationship, a friend or anything else good that comes my way.

I love to ride my mountain bike but so far limited to pretty level stuff, not too hardcore. I'm good at snow skiing but haven't done that for some time. I think going skiing with a girlfriend would be ideal. We could soak out our aches in a hot tub and share a bottle of wine then do it all again the next day.

I am a free thinker and often find a solution to a problem or a different perspective. I would love to run a small business again (had a business when I was married).

I love classic rock, Corrine Bailey Rae; Amy Winehouse; The Clash; some old country music such as Hank Williams, George Jones, Johnny Cash; Silly stuff like Madness and Devo, and Classical sometimes.

If I do get in a relationship I tend to spoil a lady. I like to cook and don't need a woman to keep house for me but if I shared a place with a woman I'd enjoy cleaning house together.

I'm an intelligent funny guy who's generally upbeat. I'd love to meet someone special eventually.

Well, I don't know what passes for dating these days. It seems it's a slippery definition but coffee and dessert and hopefully have some mutual attraction and chemistry.
