I am looking for someone to date and see where it leads. Though I am older, people often guess my age at around 35, and I really do look and act younger than my age, which is why I tend to date woman younger than myself (20-35), but I'm not a fanatic about that.

I work out a lot, so if you're a person who is not in shape, naturally thin or hwp, we will probably not click. Also, I do not smoke or do drugs in any way and would not want a partner who does.

I'm a well-rounded, college-educated person, so someone who has a similar academic and life-experience background would be a plus for me. I like to laugh and have a good sense of humor. I would find it hard to get along with someone who is not that way as well.

I live alone and have my own home and car. I do not have any children and am not really looking to be a father right now--not that I would not want that in the future, but it would have to be with someone who I think is very special.

Chemistry is important, and you just never know when you will meet someone with whom you have that special spark. Even if you think you do not match what I am looking for from my profile, if you're interested in chatting with me, go ahead and contact me anyway. I welcome all responses. You just never know! If anyone would like to know more about me, feel free to ask.

Thanks for reading!

To me, first dates should be low-key. That way there are not a lot of expectations. A good first date would be lunch or dinner somewhere nice, followed by a walk in the park or a few drinks in a quiet, cozy pub or sports bar.
