Hi! My friends can't figure out why a nice fellow like me can't find Ms. Right. Good question. Is it just that central Indiana makes it hard to meet? I live in Bloomington where I recently retired as a marketing exec. Yeah, I'm a city boy but I love to get out to the country and often do on weekends. I've never been married; I'm still looking for the perfect woman (well, the perfect woman for me).
OK, now the obligatory biographical stuff: I'm an intelligent, young-looking, young-acting, nice-looking (or least my mother always thought so) fellow with diverse interests. I'm 62, have brown hair (no gray) and hazel eyes. My best assets are my intelligence and sense of humor.
I love to visit new places, dine out, dance, go to museums, antique stores, and movies, or just sit down with a good book. I have a creative/inventive side that lately has manifested itself in photography and the making of mobiles hung with stained glass which I intend to hand out at Christmas.
I am an active, outgoing, adventurous fit male who is seeking to find my best friend, someone to share my thoughts, dreams, ups and downs, activities and my nights. My wish is to find someone with like interests and new interests with whom to share my life. Most of all it should be someone who can stimulate and challenge me intellectually, who shares my intellectual curiosity, and who believes that much of life should be a continual learning process.
I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, biking, running, golfing, and canoeing. I'm equally comfortable at a black tie event or a tramping around a flea market. Though I attended an Ivy League school (Brown) I never got my degree. Having said that I am extremely well read and knowledgeable on a great many subjects. Lest I sound like too geeky or pedantic I must say that I'm blessed with a quick wit and zany sense of humor. I enjoyed an exciting marketing career where I dealt with Fortune 500 CEO's and factory floor maintenance personnel. I realize that in any relationship friendship and trust are among the most important. However, I am also looking for passion. I am beyond games and only have interest in someone who is ready for the right relationship (if all the pieces fit).
Whew, I'm glad I'm through this slightly unpleasant exercise, which was uncomfortably narcissistic.
My Ideal Person:
I'm trying to find my best friend -- she's out there thinking about me right now, looking at the same stars I'm watching tonight, sharing the same basic hopes and desires that I do. She is one who will never give up on her dreams, one who is willing to discover new things and eager to live life to it's fullest. She is someone who is unprejudiced, intelligent and sensitive - one who won't be afraid to show her true feelings. Sound too demanding? Maybe, but I don't believe in settling for second best and neither should you. I'm looking for an everlasting love and friendship and in return I would do anything and expect everything in return. I am passionate, loving, giving, and understanding. I believe in the strength of the eternal bond, which can exist between a man and a woman who are truly in love. I'm a romantic who loves all the so-called cliched trappings of a romantic relationship - the hand-holding, candlelight dinners, the giving of unexpected little gifts, etc.
I have posted a recent photo and would like to see your photo in return. Unless one has a detailed/compelling profile and/or email I rarely respond to correspondents who don't share a photo.
