DON'T YOU HATE FILLING OUT THESE THINGS? DID YOU EVER EVEN THINK YOU'D BE SINGLE AT THIS AGE? MY LICENSE SAYS I AM 45, BUT I DON'T FEEL IT. I AM A TRUE CHILD AT HEART. IT TAKES VERY LITTLE TO MAKE ME HAPPY. I AM HAPPY BY MYSELF FOR THE MOST PART, BUT THERE IS PART OF ME THAT MISSES BEING PART OF AN US. I NOT ONLY WANT TO BE LOVED, BUT I HAVE A LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE. I AM NOT A SELFISH, SHALLOW, JEALOUS OR _ITCHY PERSON, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE GALS ARE DATING ALL THE NICE GUYS! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT ANYWAY? WELL, I MUST BELEIVE YOU ARE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE...ALSO LONGING TO BE PART OF AN US, OR I WOULDN'T BE WILLING TO FILL THIS QUESTIONAIRRE OUT.

TO ME A FIRST DATE IS A MEETING. THIS IS A STRANGER AFTER ALL. I PLAN TO PAY MY WAY ON A FIRST DATE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A GUY THAT I MAY NOT BE ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED IN TO BE STUCK PAYING FOR A DATE HE MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY INTENTION OF SEEING AGAIN EITHER. IDEALLY, AN EARLY SUPPER AT A NICE RESTARUANT. MAYBE EAT SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO A PARK OR THE GREENBELT WHERE IF DINNER GOES WELL, WE COULD GO FOR A WALK AND CONTINUE TO TALK BECAUSE WE SHARE SOME HOBBIES, GOALS. CONVERSATION FLOWS EASILY, WE LAUGH AT THE SAME THINGS. TIME FLIES. BY THE END OF OUR EVENING TOGETHER, IT IS CLEAR THE INTEREST IS MUTUAL, AND HOPE LINGERS EVER SO SOFTLY IN THE AIR. NOT MARRIAGE NEXT WEEK, BUT FINALLY, HONEST TO GOODNESS, OLD FASHIONED, ROMANTIC HOPE. FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS AND REALLY WANTS WHAT HE SAYS HE WANTS, NOT WHAT HE THINKS I WANT.
