My goal for being on this site is to find friends for hanging out, dating and possibly more. I am interested in women over 27, but will consider dating younger.

I have varied interests, including reading, history, sports, music, science fiction, travel. I have lived all over the world. I am an beekeeper. I am a dog lover. I take walks to exercise; I am a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do; I like parks, zoos and the botanical gardens. I enjoy movies, preferrably old movies. I like children, but mine are over 18; they do live with me while going to college.

I drink socially; I like good cigars. I am open to trying new things and enjoy most people.

I am seeking someone to share conversation, have some fun, catch a movie, share a meal, have a drink or go on a road trip. I like spontiniety, and curious minds.

I am looking to chat first, meeting over coffee for conversation and learning if we like one another. If we click then lunch, dinner, dating.

It depends. A first encounter at a coffee shop or lunch would be nice for conversation and guaging mutual attraction. A nice night out for dinner, concert or sporting event, followed up with a late night drink or dessert at a quite spot would be nice.
