My name is Jim. I am a regular kind of guy, I think of myself as more of a country mouse than a city mouse, if you recall the fable from childhood. I am easy to please, enjoy the outdoors very much, especially the ocean and Narragansett Bay. I live on an island, so that says it all! I also enjoy dancing, cooking, gardening, and taking care of my home and toys....like the boat. I have pretty good common sense, and generally just enjoy life responsibly. I have two grown sons, both married, both doing very well. I am warm, enjoy talking, reading, and stay in pretty good shape, especially enjoy walking. I'd like to meet a down-to-earth woman who shares some of my interests, has her own as well, takes care of herself, probably not a city mouse but a woman who does enjoy the occasional visit to Gotham City, I mean..Providence! Friends is a good way to start then whatever will be will be. Come on, give me a shot!

For a first meeting, after some emailing and telephone chats, meet for coffee or a wine/drink. A first date would be to do something which we'd both agree would be fun and give us a chance to socialize more and talk...probably not a movie, where we'd have to sit in silence.
