Me . . . After being married for 34 years and losing my wife six years ago . . . I've learned what love is, what it is about, how to give it, how to share it and how to appreciate it.

I do believe that the Biblical description contained in First Corinthians 13:4-7 is true and to be aspired to.

During that time and since her passing I've come to the conclusion that I want those things back in my life again. I would like them and cherish them again. . . but I'm secure within myself that I know I can have a great and good life if all it results in is searching and learning.

I would appreciate a woman who is strong within herself but knows that life will be better with a man at her side that is supportive and caring and knows that sharing a life is a genuine joy to be attained.

I would like a woman that has learned that arguing and fighting is a futile effort . . . that, when appropriate, holding hands and talking and LISTENING to each other is a magnificent way to reach resolution.

I like to play golf and tennis and a partner to share those with would be nice but definitely not a requirement.

Being able to do things together is a "requirement" . . . i.e. cooking, cleaning, shopping, movies, dinners, dancing and more.

I will bring to this table a love that is mental, spiritual and physical in nature that will be filled with, above all, learning each other, communication and a warm and serene heart and attitude.

You will bring to this table a willingness to be open to giving and receiving a wealth of love that only two intertwined people can share.

I would also prefer a lady within my own age range . . . 60 to 70ish but not limited therein.

Are you ready? . . . I am!

To me, a first date is to sit down over a lunch, dinner or a cup of coffee without time restraints, to talk and learn each other . . .
