This optimistic teddy bear is a former diplomat who was accredited to the United Nations, the US and Canada over a period of 25 years. He now lives in Manhattan (UES) and is seeking a Lady to share the many symphonies of life. His taste in books and music depends entirely on the mood of the moment. He is seeking an intelligent - yes intelligent and smart mature/young well traveled spirited Lady who can bring into the equation as much as she would get out of it. Does not have to be Einstein but the closer the better! An awareness of global issues and knowledge of a second language are definite advantages for they enlarge horizons. Must love the beach and appreciate the countryside.

Life is a gem but only for those smart enough to know how to appreciate its many facets.

Romanticism and peace of mind are semi gods.

Cafes and bars are nil! Elegant surroundings are the only acceptable venue for a first encounter. Light dinner or even lunch could help an ice breaking situation but only after an exchange of photos and messages. Surprises? No thank you! Expect a long session as so much would be exchanged before deciding on an eventual second date...
