I am looking for a life partner who values family, has grown kids (that he shares with), a positive outlook on life, and one who understands what a wonderful, loving woman partner could add to his life. Could be divorced or widowed, but must be ready for a long term relationship.

My perfect guy is affectionate and likes to cuddle up at night. He knows who he is, is able to have honest conversations and likes a strong, confident woman. We both enjoy sharing a bit of life's adventures- rafting the Grand Canyon, traveling to Italy or just walking the beaches on the Cape.

I love art, architecture, music, and learning about history and cultures and hope you have an intellectual curiosity, too. Having lived in Spain, Mexico and England, I am looking for someone who might want to spend a month in Spain or Italy at some point.

My type of man is college educated with a bit of creativity and playfulness as life is too short to not do the things we love! Most important is you are someone who does things in nature- walking/ hiking, skiing, kayaking or biking. I have lived in Colorado and love the mountains around Aspen. Hope you would want to join me!

You also enjoy being with with friends- hanging out in Boston, dancing, going to concerts (jazz, R&B and classical) or having dinner parties.

As a Business and Career Coach, I enjoy making a difference. I work with professionals and emerging leaders to be more effective when leading teams or communicating. I also work with professionals in job transition.

Making the most of life, kissing, and maintaining a positive attitude

I have a great smile and am very youthful.

Kite Runner, Steve Jobs Bio, Masterpiece Theater, Frazier, all music and most cuisine.

1. Being outside- I hike locally and like to ski, play tennis, walk on the beach, or be in my garden.
2. Creating- am an oil painter (hobby)- like to play with color, form and texture in my garden.
3. Family and my 2 grown sons.
4. Having great friends.
5. Making a difference.
6. Being in good health.

there must be an easier way to meet someone

usually with friends- either having dinner, wine and good conversation. Or might be at a dance or concert.

hmm, might have to share that in person....

You are an active/ fit professional, have a positive attitude, live in the Boston area, and want a long term relationship.
