About Me

I'm retired but still full of spirit and silliness and think of myself as an individualist. My photos are recent and have been told I look quite sophisticated. It's how I look, NOT how I am. Actually, I'm very down-to-earth and unpretentious and prefer people who are the same. I was blessed to have inherited my Dad's sense of humor and you'll usually find me smiling or laughing at the absurdities of life. I usually make the best of things even when they don't go my way. I enjoy my home but like getting out, seeing new places and trying new things. I enjoy using my mind and have an interest in a wide variety of things. The things that make me most happy are very often the simplest things... time with friends, flea markets & yard sales (hoping to find an unexpected treasure), people watching, preparing a meal together (I'm a pretty good cook), going for a drive stopping for lunch at some charming spot we will find along the way. I've been single for a very long time and to tell the truth, I've never found the single life particularly satisfying. I enjoy being with others and what would make me most happy would be to find a parter I can love and cherish and share the joys life has to offer. I'm affectionate but not over-bearing, intelligent but not a know-it-all and I am considerate and thoughtful of others. There are many things I enjoy, but doing becomes delight when I can share it with the one I love. Honesty is most important and I treat others, including myself, with respect and fairness. Being able to share some of my interests with my partner is important to me but I think the most important thing to share is our values, our ability to communicate with each other and our willingness to compromise when we disagree. I think it's also important to respect our needs for private time.I have a delightful dog, a Havapoo (Havanese/poodle) who goes by the name, Shana. She's 12 lbs, very sweet and calm, and all who meet her love her. My music tastes run from jazz, the old standards, to the classics. I've been singing jazz all my life and a couple of years ago decided to study the craft and learn proper singing technique to preserve my voice till death do us part. I love a good discussion on many subjects: (currents events, what's been happening in our lives, sharing something we have recently read, thought provoking or funny movies, musicals and documentaries. Having said all that, I think the most important things in a relationship are the values we share, our ability to communicate with each other and our willingness to compromise if or when we don't agree and a respect for our needs for privacy. I am not a religious person but live my life with honesty, integrity and love. And after all is said and done, I'd love to meet someone who is kind, romantic, has some smarts, and is healthy with a healthy sense of humor and who lives within 50 miles of Portland. What's inside is more important to me than appearances although I must admit to finding excessive weight a turn-off.I think I'll end on that note and hope what I've written appeals to you.I prefer a first date to be very casual, meeting in a quiet, public place for coffee or perhaps to share a light meal. We'll get to know a bit about each other and share a few laughs. If all goes well we'll make plans to meet again. :-}

    I love to make people laugh. I am goofy by nature, but I know when to be serious. I like to do things on a whim You can usually find me outdoors when I am not working. Either riding my bike, running, hiking or just hanging out at the beach in the summer. I like all kinds of music. I love to travel, even if it is to another part of Maine that I haven't been to yet. I am originally from Massachusetts and moved up here to be closer to my family. I can be one of the guys watching a football game or I can be the girly girl that likes to go shopping. I am a 4th grade teacher and I have been teaching for over 10 years. I love my job and the best part is I can be a kid again. I have a 6 year old Lab mix named Youkilis...that is right he is named after Kevin Youkilis. He is a nut! (my dog that is)I am looking forward to having my first kiss again. I am looking for someone who can communicate with their partner. I like someone who can be funny one minute but knows how to be serious when he needs to be. Someone who likes to travel, hike, walks on the beach...ok there is my corny side coming out. Someone who can laugh at himself and be ok with it. If this sounds like you send me an emal.HHHMM? I would think get a drink and just be able to talk.

    Giving the site another shot. Looking to meet new people, see what goes from there. Someone who is respectful, funny, handy, enjoys going out and staying in. Just someone to get along with and have fun. Someone I can click with, whether that's friendship or more.If you're interested in "meeting me" send a quick message *** just clicking it - I don't bite...I also put nothing serious only because life is unrehearsed and you have to take that first step before you get too serious*je parle francais aussi*Movies are too cliche and you never get to know the person, so just something where get to sit down with someone, maybe have a bite to eat and a drink and get to know them, maybe go for a walk afterwards...depends on the situation
