I would love to meet a woman who is, witty,loving,loyal,and independent... I am looking for a mate, not a fling... I believe, two people must be attracted to each other, but most important their personalities have to inter- mesh! I am originally from Maine. (Country boy at heart) I am retired military and financially stable. I consider myself intelligent, witty, and adventurous. To me communication is the heart and sole of a relationship... A good intelligent conversation is stimulating to me, verbal sparing in a playful sense is a plus... My idea of ideal mate is someone that can keep me on my toe's... It doesn't hurt to have a little bit of spice, in a relationship. I love to go camping, fishing, and many other out door activities... A great weekend is to drive to the mountains, stay at a bed and breakfast, and just absorb the natural beauty!! I do love to take a stroll on the beach, just after a great meal, and a couple of glasses of wine. I consider myself extremely honest, faithful, and loyal. I am looking for a woman to build something special with! My dream is to buy or build a log home (I love natural wood) preferable in a mountainous region, Not to far from society. Dislikes: People that display either of these two attitudes, arrogance or judgemental... We all have these two qualities, and we all display them at times.. I am talking about people, where these attitudes are a personality trait, other than that, I pretty much get along with anybody. I prefer to meet a woman that loves food, and likes to try different cuisines, cooking is a passion of mine... I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for taken the time to read this.

First date.... A nice Dinner, followed by any number activities that permits us to talk, and get to know each other.
