old gentleman seeking young lady. This may sound "trash", but I'll make her happy and when I die, which will be fifty years before she has to think of quitting, she can start a new life, but not from scratch. I'll take care of her future...

I am a man of the books and I love music.

She has to realise that it may not be fun to wake up in bed with her grandfather, but I cannot get any younger, although I tried to sell my soul to Mephistopheles...

I have been married twice. My first wife threw me out of the house to "realise" herself, to "walk in the light" and not "in my shadow", whatever that means, after 11 years of marriage and 3 kids (in 1971). She pushed me directly in the arms of my second wife who was, as it happened, the woman of my life, who died in 1995 leaving me 2 kids 15 and 12 to bring up. Well, every one is now brought up and independent. From the first 3 I have 8 grandchildren from 19 to 3 years old... I do see my first wife from time to time, we are kind of friends. My wives became friends and the first one gave us (second wife and me) our (first wife and me) elder son to bring up when he was 14... he is 49 now. She (1st) later lived with an artist whose work I liked and admired and bought some, and those sculpture are in my apartment.

If this sounds too complicated, just forget it, but it can give the ladies some information about the family...

again, difficult : the young lady must be conscious that I am 75, and that our relationship will de facto be short.
