I don't drink coffee, but I like how it smells...same for pipe smoke. I a laid back yet driven when something needs to be done. I am shy with most strangers, but very talkative with my friends...I am also a very good listener. I married my opposite and found out the hard way that opposites attract, but don't make good partners. I don't have any children of my own, but I have two nieces I adore and love to spend time with. I am a dog person, but I can get along with friendly cats. I like to travel, but tend to be a homebody. I am looking for a match that I have more than just chemistry with. Someone that I am comfortable talking to and also comfortable sitting in silence with...someone that I enjoy being around and that I can trust and respect.

First dates should be short, sweet and simple. I don't drink coffee, but a coffee house or something similar like ice cream or maybe a few drinks at a reasonably quiet bar.
