I enjoy living to the fullest, and work at developing both my rational and emotional sides. So I'm a study in contrasts: intellectual and romantic, private and sharing, practical and idealistic.

I am comfortable with, and savor, both verbal and emotional intimacy ... laugh easily and often ... enjoy long walks to nowhere and long talks to anywhere.

A fulfilling weekend might include an intense movie or discussion, combined with an idyllic and sensuous time together ... or just snuggling with a movie and popcorn ... or cooking dinner together, and daring to consider a food fight.

I'm a giver, not a taker, and a True Romantic. Those romantic grand gestures are the most memorable, but the smaller, day-to-day touches are what keep the fires burning hotly.

I'm a semi-retired small-business consultant and entrepreneur coach, also website hosting, design and domain names.

MY IDEAL MATCH has a rare combination of qualities ... also a study in contrasts. You can be independent minded, which I admire, and self-confident enough to share your inner child. You can be privately passionate, laugh easily, and enjoy being alone together instead of in a crowd. You're a giver not a taker. You have creative or artistic sensitivities, with a passion for life and living. You're comfortable with your sensuality, and and now seek to discover or maintain a higher level of intimacy. If you're a great kisser, that would be a marvelous bonus.

MY IDEAL RELATIONSHIP: Two independent and individual selves who don't NEED a partner. But when we're alone together, we are each other's total universe. We stand before each other, unafraid -- eager to begin a voyage of discovery. The last love of our lives.

First dates can be tense at our age, especially if we're both are hoping to find something serious. So I opt for fun -- perhaps even silly -- casual and (hopefully) unscripted. If we can't get along at that level, then what's the point?
