I have been in business for myself since 1980, wouldn't have it any other way, I make a comfortable living. I am a very caring, considerate, gentlemen, looking for a classy woman for dating and possible relationship. Someone who can appreciate the attention, the love and affection I can give. I am well groomed and take pride in my appearance both physical and how I dress. I enjoy most everything, I am sometimes laid back and other times most have trouble keeping up. I like warm sunny days doing anything fun, rainy days and snow storms inside or outside together, the four seasons, sunrises and sunsets. Long rides and weekend getaways are great,evenings by the fire with that one special woman are the best. I like to plan day trips, weekend getaways and suprises, I can be very spontaneous. At this point in our lives we have made most of the mistakes that we are going to. Time to take those lessons and build upon them to make these years the very best ever.

Over the last few months I have had the great priviledge to meet with numbers of wonderful women from this and other sites for a glass of wine or even a few dates. Unfortunately some of us were not totally compatable but we have become friends. In every case they were told only the truth and because of that many have become closer and still email. A few we continue to talk even to this day. And then...there are the few that will never ever figure it out, and that ok too!

This site is difficult to follow. A slurr of blurred distorted constantly changing photos that make most of us look considerably overweight. There is no "one" picture of an individual or a town and state under the photo so we can limit our search, and they continually change. I do click onto profiles that I had previously looked at, sorry about that. To those that I appear more than once on their site,sorry. To those that I appear twice or more times just taking a better look. After many years of my adult life and after being on these sites for a while, I have become to realize and to truly understand that beauty is "absolutely JUST skin deep"...especially after an email or two. To those that are rude...stay rude, it does fit you. To those that are nice I would love to hear from you, even if it is just to say hello and chat a bit, and I do hope you are the woman that I am looking to meet and I the man for you.

>>If you don't have a photo posted I will not respond, sorry it is only fair, Thanks

***Assuming we have gone beyond a first "coffee date", a cup of coffee or a glass of wine,a walk somewhere, dinner if we like or whatever we choose. We had lots of great conversation and there is an attraction between us.

ON OUR SECOND DATE... (They only wanted our first date, Oh well...)
As you may have noticed I don't always follow the rules, not much use for them, makes life much more interesting... especially if it makes it more fun.

On our second date we could head for a quaint restaurant. A place with exceptional food and great atmosphere, someplace we can be casual and relaxed. Throughout dinner enjoy hearing more about each other. I want to know about your family, your likes and dislikes, your plans and dreams and talk about whatever comes into our minds. An after dinner stroll would be nice. We would already know where the best night life is and head in that direction for more conversation and a great time. Headed home listening to some great music, we would open the moon roof and turn up the heat. This is really nice on a star filled night or in the winter during a snow storm, the car is roasty warm and the snow is falling on our faces...

It was not the food,or the wine,or the music... It is a beautiful woman who has made this night so complete.
As I walk you to your door with butterflies in my stomach, I am only hoping that you will accept my invitation to another date.

Please take the time to say hi, if you are interested contact me it would be great to hear from you...

>>Althought "POF" has preset mileages in their outline, I would prefer to communicate with women within 20 miles of Springfield.
Thank you in advance for your understanding... j
