I was born and raised in New York. I've been in Los Angeles for a long time, but I am still very much tied to my NY roots. Visiting there, always gives me the feeling that "I've come home".
I am a very young looking and thinking 64 year old. People generally think I am at least ten years younger, and say I could get away with saying that. But honesty is extremely important to me, therefore, I won't lie about my age. There is nothing phony about me, and I appreciate that quality in others.
I am an extremely passionate, caring and loyal person, who gains great pleasure out of making people laugh, and lifting their spirits. My life has been a very interesting one. I like to think of myself as having very strong survival skills and instincts.
I love humor, nature,laughter, romance and kindness.
My work has always been in the arts, and am fortunate that it has always given me a creative outlet.
Alright, enough about me. I am hoping to find someone who shares those qualities, and who shares the same values. I am in it for the long term. I'm looking for that one special forever person.

For me, in order to get to know someone, it would be lovely to share a meal together, in a quiet setting, without a lot of distractions.
