I want a good woman who will help me be a better man.

I'm open to exploring a wide variety of personal relationships including activity partners, friends and especially romance. And yes, I would seriously consider a long term monogamous relationship or marriage with the right woman. It all starts with mutual information (photos do help), chemistry and a healthy amount of respect and patience. I am a gentleman and always respect a woman's wishes. I have a good heart. I will gladly answer all your questions honestly. ttrophy stands for top trophy, the name of my boat. I am well educated (Masters from USC), well mannered, respectful, NOT pushy or demanding in any way. I have no dependents, no children, and I live alone in a house in La Crescenta, CA. Some of my interests include: movies, dining out, travel, musical performances, cooking, gardening, hiking, tennis, swimming, snorkeling, horseback riding, boating, fishing, tent camping, skiing, and trying new things. I was widowed in 1998. We had a very successful marriage and I know the joy and rewards of a loving relationship. I am financially secure and in excellent health.

I'd like to meet a woman who is reasonably local, healthy, not (much) overweight, romantic, intelligent, compassionate, loves nature and being outdoors* and freely expresses her thoughts and feelings. The closer you live to La Crescenta (North Glendale /zip 91214) the better. You can smoke or not and you can live with kids or not But you must be a good kisser :)

* Note, no you Do Not have to like, do or have a background in all the outdoor activities I mentioned above.

.... First Meeting (coffee date) - lets meet casually, jeans and tennis shoes or a glass of wine at a restaurant. First Real Date - we can plan that together.
