If you enjoy laughing and exploring then I'd like to meet you. If you are smart and active, alive and real then be sure to wink or write. I am looking for you.

I am seeking a gal that is cute (to me) with a great smile, slim to average body, fun and outgoing. Not overly serious, cautious, or fearful. You are smart, confident, and able to be silly and laugh at yourself. I like girly girls but I like earthy and nerdy ones too. A heart of gold is important.

You say what you want and not what you think I want to hear. You are available and not playing the field. You are looking for a long lasting relationship and are willing to invest in it. You are not looking for a guy to support you; you are financially secure. You are looking for a partnership in every sense of the word.

In return you get a guy that respects women, likes road trips, exploring out of the way places, finding hole in the wall gems that are only ours. Someone who loves to get dressed up and go out but also enjoys spreading the newspaper between us on the couch while we read interesting articles out loud to each other. We turn the music up and dance in the living room (I can teach you if you don't know how). We enjoy being spontaneous when opportunity comes knocking. We enjoy being intimate.

You will get a guy who has opened up with age, full of wonder, found his inner child. Someone who loves to give his gal the tingles while he kisses the back of her neck and puts his arms around her. Someone who will challenge you to be better, to live life fuller, to be the first ones on the dance floor. Someone who has a twinkle in his eye, a knowing smile when he looks at you across the room.

Together we appreciate art, theater, out-of-doors, being physically fit, going on walks, and travelling. We talk and listen, care about the world and the planet.

You will have to put up with my ukulele playing. You might even like it. I like tin pan alley music, Dan Hicks, Sinatra, classic rock, and lite jazz. I am a man who likes to touch, loves the feel of you in my arms, the dearness of a warm hand curled inside mine. I squeeze yours and you squeeze mine back.

I am a liberal thinker, I care about social justice, about equality. I love to sway to live music, being brought to tears by a really good movie or play. I believe relationships are the glue necessary to maintain human relatedness and compassion. I believe in treating the world with respect, and hope you feel the same.

I am intelligent, curious, outgoing, and adventurous. A lifelong learner. I love my family and they are a priority. I love travel and outdoor activities. Easy going and funny. Good listener. A definite twinkle in my eye. Exuberant when out but quiet at home. Open to new ideas and love ethnic foods. Live for snuggling and holding hands. I miss the intimacy of a relationship.

I retired early, and though I would love to find someone to share this lifestyle I will follow my heart even if you have a year or two yet to work. I dearly would love to find a way to get out of here for part of the winter though.

If you like what you see here be sure to write. I am looking for you.

I volunteer quite a bit and get out with my friends a lot. I like intellectual pursuits too, such as museums, and entertainment activities like plays and movies. This summer's adventure is learning to sail. I joined a club on Lake Harriet and have been certified to take the boats out on my own. Want to go sailing?

I'm proud of my progress on the Ukulele. Tin Pan alley music is a fave. I love to dance - swing mostly. I'm a good friend, a good kisser, and a great snuggler. Or so they say...

I'm fun and outgoing. A big smile and a positive attitude.

I like unpredictable and quirky movies. Woody Allen especially. I volunteer at the Orpheum and see most of their broadway shows plus get out a lot to other theaters. There seems to be no end of theaters in the Twin Cities. Music would be Big Band, Bluegrass, Jazz, and a few oldies thrown in. I like a lot of the older music too. Food: You name it. Vietnamese to Indian to Chinese. Dim Sum is fun and so is Hibachi.

4. Nature / Outdoors
5. Music - It's in my head at all times. Earworms! What a strange name for that phenomenon.
6. Being loved and respected

Dancing!
