I am a person who has been there and done that and is looking to live my life, my kids are pretty much grown, my oldest son has joined the military and my youngest is a senior in high school, so I have a lot of time to myself these days. I like to go out and have fun. I have had some tragedies happen in my personal life which have left me with the attitude of "Life is way to short so live each day as if it was your last and have fun doing it!" So if this is something you believe in or agree with I look forward to hearing from you.....

What I would do for the first date is definitely meet the person in a public place for a drink or something short and sweet just for some small chit chat to make sure we were really interested because sometimes people aren't true to their pictures and if we were interested maybe stay longer if not end the date by being honest with that person, because I believe in being honest, if the attraction isn't there then there is no reason to waste my time or theirs. If we are both interested maybe then planning another date from there!
