Yes, I know I'm 52 but I'm still in the gym or running 5-6 days a week. I think it's my way of going into my 50's and beyond kicking and screaming. I've been told I look at least ten years younger than I am, and think working out, staying healthy and a positive attitude is the fountain of youth. I also have a young outlook on life in general. I attribute a lot of that to my son who is 17 and the greatest joy in my life. Another of my joys in life is eating, I think it may be the main reason I run. I love going out and have several favorite places but staying home cooking something fun whether pasta and seafood or burgers on the grill and enjoying a nice glass of wine really can't be beat and yes, I'm a pretty good cook. I'm well read and have an understand of and appreciation for the finer things but I also understand that many times it's the simpler things that are the best. I don't watch a lot of TV though I do have a few favorites and Bronco Sunday is set in stone. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for in a match. Perhaps it's like the old cliche about art. I only know what I like. I DO know that it would be important for me to have a physical attraction. I work hard to stay fit and would hope my match would too. It goes without saying that my son is a big part of my life though he has embarked on his own path now. "Everything in excess. To truly enjoy the flavor of life, take it in big bites.

A first date should be simple. Just a chance to get aquainted and see if there will be a second date.
