Hi! i am looking for the special someone. Everything starts with friendship; esp at my age! finally though i am looking for something permanent. since i have a successful career, i would expect you to relocate. however i am open to considering relocating within the US. i am a regular level-headed guy who does not take himself too seriously. i like to travel (especailly to places with some history), food (anything to do with it including cooking), and long conversations. i am a bit shy when i first meet someone but can get very talkative once i get to know the person. i have liberal values and hate any kind of intolerance/small-mindedness. physically i am easy on the eye and lean (but not mean).

i am looking for a straight woman with a zest for life and loves to have fun. home and family should be important to you. that does not mean i am looking for a housewife. i think it is healthy for a woman to have a life outside her home - just that she is not obsessed with a career. i am open to all kind of women - no bar size etc. i would not prefer ladies who are much younger than me (less than 25-26 yrs). i love kids and do not object if you have any.
