SCRIPT: Two lively, intelligent, attractive, older adults meet online to explore the possibility of sharing experiences and interests to satisfy a longing for companionship.
Drama is a part of life... but this couple does not entertain victimhood or childish manipulation. Resilience is a common trait they discover as well as an ability to risk what the future might hold.

CASTING: This player prefers a committed relationship with someone who is attentive, considerate, accomplished, cognizant of community-world events and assertive in personal/professional relations yet able to reveal shades of vulnerability ... with humility and humor. Reality Check - Character first, everything else is a plus!

CHARACTER PROFILE:
I'm thoughtful, honest, perceptive, cooperative, responsive, rational, sensual and playful. I'm a good hostess and cook... enjoy making my home a place of comfort and beauty with elements of art and nature inside and out.
I'm in good health and physical condition, without being obsessive about diet and exercise... proper nutrition and physical activity are observed and usually practiced!
Life-long learning and a sense of reciprosity season expectations for the coming decade(s)... feeling 15 years younger than my age. I've been an active volunteer for vulnerable elders and children.

I'm completing a masters degree in health education. I have a graduate certificate in gerontology. I acquired some additional life skills caregiving for my deceased husband. I'm grateful for the life we shared. Now I'm ready to accept a new life script.

My intellectual curiosity (or storage of useless information) makes me an attentive listener responsive on a variety of subjects.

I'm interested in a mindful (being present) loving relationship based on mutual attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection and allowing autonomy.

MUSICAL SCORE: Some retro standards- Gershwin, Berlin, Porter, Mercer...
Romantic classics - Debussy, Wagner, Tchaikovsky... Rock&Roll oldies, R&B, Beatles, Country?

SET THE STAGE...
I love travel to places of historical interest... I like reading historical novels.
I enjoy fishing; nature hikes; horse-back riding; kayaking; water-color painting; golf... I enjoy most styles of music... before the 1990's.

This is probably as awkward for you as it is for me... stage fright!
Are you willing to make the first entrance?

After making a connection and meeting for coffee or lunch...
ACT 1: Scene 2
Accepting a first date adds the suspense... enjoying common interests or discovering new ones. Something intellectually stimulating, sensory stimulating or mildly physical like walking/biking along a scenic river path, beach or hiking trail is featured in the script. Other possible options:
• Wine tasting in the foothills, especially if there is an outdoor concert event...
• Visiting galleries, museum exhibits, street fairs or any of the activities listed above.
• Attending a horse show, air show, antique car show, dog show...
