I am looking for a man who is honest, kind, generous, humorous, fairly nice looking, in good physical health, enjoys being outdoors (especially in the mountains), and has a sense of romance. I'm a romantic to the core but not a drama queen. I have a great capacity for love. I'm a devout Christian, an artist, a writer, and college English professor [semiretired]. The more of these things I can do outside (weather permitting--not too hot or cold), the better. I also enjoy good conversation on a wide variety of subjects. Never a dull moment with me! I'm too old for games; but I look forward to intimacy when other aspects have been laid out. I can make the right man's dreams come true. I've kissed way too many frogs, so I'm really ready for my Prince. I want a relationship that covers all of life's bases. This pond gets lonely sometimes, but I'm ok alone and not ready to settle for just any old tadpole or pond scum. I'm truly one of a kind and well worth the effort!

A first date should probably be at a restaurant over good food and good conversation. That usually gives two people a chance to know whether they want a second date and it also somewhat outlines the expectations---------that is, if they are honest with one another. There is no substitute for chemistry and that is difficult to know without physical contact [that is, meeting face-to-face]. First dates tell a lot but not all, I realize.
