Looking for a special Lady, a friend, someone I can spend time with in a comfortable and romantic way.

Well lets see. I'm a dark blond, blue eyed, 5'11 person. I enjoy sports, outdoor activities, reading, art, music, photography, biking, hiking, I've done sky diving, (great time), and sometimes just sitting and enjoying a movie. I was a professional engineer who has retired.

I come from a large family (seven brothers and sisters) with about 35 nephews, nieces, and grand nephew & nieces. I think they are all special and I love the opportunity to spend time with them. Our family reunions can be quite large.

I have a place up on lake Huron in which I believe contributes to me maintaining my sanity. I enjoy going up to relax and enjoy the beach atmosphere. Its amazing when one is away from the city lights, how bright the stars can be. A couple of Kyaks, one to share with.

Lets see, the lady I'm looking for starts out with that simple word. She must be a Lady, with a kind heart, a sensitivity to others feelings, affectionate, loves children, and enjoys being around them. Her attractiveness comes from inside and outside. She may be very pleasing physically but that only can carry a person so far. If she is not very nice, she will eventually be an unpleasant person to be around. She will also recognize that a relationship is a two way path of compromise. There always has to be some give and take but one should never have to give up their basic values.

These initial profiles are a start and I hope this is enough to capture your initial interest.

Hope to hear from you.

The first date should be one of open honesty and respectful of each other and of their feelings. Both sides to be open to questions that help the other to get comfortable. Game players, well, I have no need for them. It is surprising how many people on both sides still play.
