I'm 55, a retired Coast Guard officer with 30+ yrs service to our country. Currently taking courses for an AS degree in both Architectural and Drafting design using CADD programing. I enjoy a good home cooked meals (i can cook for you or you can show me what you can do). I enjoy taking pictures of lighthouses, old cottages by the water, old boats now laid to rest, the mountains and sunrises/sunsets.
Friends would tell you I'm like an old fashion southern gentleman, that I desire a southern "lady" who should be prepared to be spoiled. I'm passionate, a romantic at heart who who likes to send short poems and notes to that someone special in my life, I'm a one woman guy, at ease with public displays of my affection for the special one I carefore but also believe theres a time and a place for everything. Also I believe in being a best friend, a good conversationalist/and listener who believes that comunications are the key to a successful, loving and open relationship. By communicating we're able to keep those little irritatons from growing into items that cause couples to have problems. I enjoy home cooking (if ya don't I wont let ya go hungry) both indoors & out, just as long as ya agree to "help" with the cleanup. My specialty is grilling/smoking/pit B-B-Q'ing, especially when entertaining friends/family.

I dont like a lady who thinks a man is after only one thing or she picks/nags/hints at changing something I do that annoys her. Just sit me down and explain why/what ya don't like or what I do that gets on ya nerves. Then we both can work on correcting it together. I can respect a lady only who is trying to meet me somewhere in the middle as long as she reciprocates respects me.

What am I looking for? My desire is to find a lady, who is looking for a life partner, who would love me unconditionally, to help or advise me when I need it, comfort me when I'm down, and expect me to do the same for her without asking why. I want a partner in life, someone I can count on, who wish's to share our lives for the next half of our journey through life. She should make me laugh, must have a sence of humor. Be romantic for no reasom, suprise me with a card or inexspensive gift that brightens the day. Be strong willed when needed, but gentle and caring. A good listener, a conversationalist, someone who can talk about whats going on in the relationship. I like a person who is confiedent and secure in who they are, not possessive,or jealous of others. Faithful, honest and dependable. Who has both a sensual side that likes to treat her partner as though he's the only man around. If ya like to travel and try new things then contact me and see if that special chemistry sparkes between us, life is short so lets go for it.

I like to take a first date on a picnic, around PC we could go to the Florida Caverns state park or to the beach at Cape San Blas. Both offer the chance to be basicly alone with out someone listening in and allows us to relax with the outdoors and scenery. At the caverns no matter how hot it is ya can cool off in one of the caverns where it's always in the mid sixtes. A date on the Cape (Cape San Plas) finds you usually can walk far enough that you'll get out of sight of beach goers, or at least your a couple hundred yards apart. The picnic allows us the time and the privacy to talk without having to raise our voices and fight to hear each other. We can relax more, be ourselves, go for walks and observe natures wonders, or go for a swim or after we get to know each other we can spend the night camping at the campground. There's nothing more romantic than a beach blanket, a bottle of wine, a intreging lady and the erotic sound of the gulf, lapping on he beach to natures own romantic beat, never ending. After you get to know me, we can take short day/weekend trips with the 27' travel trailer that is ready to go at a moments notice. It has all the comforts of home, just on a smaller scale, yet still relaxing. If ya want, a fire can be built outside to snuggle up to, sip wine and watch the stars, moon. Do you have any special ideas, or places you prefer to go on a first date? I'm flexable! So if ya have any questions please don'y hesitate to ask.
