Quiet but bright gal 65 wants to meet well educated man 62+ who likes to travel and has interests in many topics but is not boring, arrogant or self-satisfied in his opinions. I seek a partner who neither wants to control or be controlled but who wants a help-mate, and to be a help-mate in the quest to live well and happily. I seek a mate who can admire and be admired and whose mating objective is to meet in the middle to contribute to each other's happiness - if the chemistry is right for us both. Please note : the photo was taken in the fall of 2002 thus I am a few years older and 10 pounds heavier... but please, allow me a bit of vanity; ...this is such a good picture.

After chatting with you on-line and via phone, a first date that I would be comfortable with would be to meet for lunch or even just a coffee and bagel. I'm not in a hurry as, for me, real friendship is a necessary component of romance and love.
