Hi!Thanks for stopping by....Question: Is there anyone on here looking for the real deal?...and on here for the right reasons?.... I am interested in meeting a new best friend first and foremost.I would love to find romance along that path.I'm such a romantic at heart.I don't have unrealistic expectations nor do I want someone who does.I want someone who is considerate,straightforward,easygoing,patient and can make me laugh.I really love to laugh. A man of substance and true value.Easy to talk to and who really listens and cares as I would.I am very easy to talk to and enjoy people.I enjoy my own space from time to time as well.. and I'll respect yours.I like simple things for the most part,but also have a sense of adventure.I appreciate the beauty in nature.I enjoy the mountains, ocean,evening walks,picnics,good movies dancing, reading for pleasure and to learn.I love good food and a nice glass of wine.A cold beer is good too,but I don't drink very often.I like various types of music.Classic rock,country,blues and jazz are all good.I am more spiritual than organized religious for the most part....To put it simply and honestly,I would like to meet a reasonably attractive, tall, sweet,and fun-loving guy whose not taking life too seriously right,is not in a heated rush,who is open to love should it happen and it is right. Someone, not perfect but with some solid values who will respect me...A guy who would like to spend time with a lady who thinks and acts young....It's really hard to sum up who I am on a profile such as this[as I'm sure you realize],but if you can read between the lines and you think we could have some things in common, contact me.

A first date could be a casual meeting for coffee or meeting for dinner.Maybe going for a walk depending on the mood or what ideas you have...(I believe the first date should only happen when real communication and a connection is established.)
