Where to begin? I'm a normal person who happens to be a committed Christian. My only child is now married and on her own, so it's my turn to have a life. I haven't dated a lot because my daughter was my focus and getting her thru college was at the top of the list and then her marriage and then my grandson. I tend to want to help others and of course my daughter and her family came first. Now I think I've earned some 'me' time. I'm looking for a normal man who also happens to be a committed Christian and is a NON SMOKER. (why would you want to kiss an ashtray?) I'm not looking for a man to complete me, but looking for a man that will enhance me. And in like turn, I don't want to "complete" the man, but enhance him. Like I said ....I'm a normal person. Guess that can be boring to some people. I don't have any tatoos, don't smoke, drink in a social situation - not on a regular basis, never been to prison. I would expect the same. Might give a bit on the tatoos as long as it's not all over you. I am very diversified in my likes. I enjoy taking hikes/walks, camping, shooting, working out, day trips, movies, and sometimes I even just veg out. I think it might be interesting to get involved in local politics someday. I'm basically shy when in groups (unless it's in a working environment) and sometimes can be mistaken for being stuckup. However, I am not and given the opportunity can be kinda funny and childlike?? I am looking for friends first that can evolve into a relationship - then an exclusive relationship?? Time will tell. I'm not in any hurry. I am not a religious nut, just someone that knows who really is in charge and has agreed to believe. I know in any relationship there are 3 persons... GOD, you, and me. I also firmly believe what the Bible says about relationships and about having a Godly marriage. The only way it will work - trust and communication (intimacy is wonderful and am looking forward to adding that to my life again - I miss it) However, if your looking for a woman who will hop into bed after a few dates, please keep looking. What I would like in Life at this point is to retire at some point and build a house and live off grid. I have property in NM with beautiful trees, Elk, Deer, critters, and a beautiful lake with trout/bass nearby. One last bit of information: Please read View her relationship needs that POF provides. There is quite a bit of insight into who I am and what makes me tick. :)

First date.....?? First meeting would be in a public place maybe for a drink or a cup of coffee. After that, we'll decide.
