I'm physcally fit and 51 years young. Bored and tired of being alone. I'm searching for one special lady to date, and after we've gotten to know one another, willing to pursue a serious relationship. I'm very affectionate (hugging, holding hands, and cuddling)and would like the same in my partner. When I was in my 20's, with raging hormones, it was all about the physical. Now being older and, I hope wiser, I find in addition to that, compatability of personality is just as important. Basically I'm searching for a lady to be my best friend as well as my lover. Having come to this point in life, everyone has accumulated baggage along the way. How you deal with it is really what matters. I'm wanting to find someone emotionally available and willing to leave the baggage behind them to begin something new with no games. I'm a warm weather person and enjoy being outside in the spring and summer months. Forest park (especially the zoo), area festivals, and the local state parks are some of my favorite places to visit. I really have no interest in sports. That's probably a plus for some of the ladies out there. Spending my time glued to the TV for an entire Sunday isn't what I'm into. I have my own home and have two large muts that I got from stray rescue when they were pups. Lastly, I just want to say, I'm on here with the best of intentions, not to use or play anyone. So don't be shy, drop me a line, and get to know me.

My first date would be more of a first meeting. Something light and casual, like sharing something cool to drink, at a restaurant of the lady's choice. Then if things click, making plans for a real date soon after.
