I am an engineer (former college teacher), looking to have an exciting time with a fun person. I can hope that it would lead to a long term relationship, but will live with whatever life brings. I am NOT tall (like most women state they desire), I have a beard that is more off than on lately, My friends (both of them) say I am affectionate, considerate, intelligent, athletic, and ethical. I am very active in senior softball, and play in national tournaments. At this point in life, travel and companionship is important to me. I went to Australia a couple of years ago, and look forward to more trips in the near future. My main goal is to find someone who likes being and sharing time, travel, and activities with me. I am outdoorsy so a walk or hike is great. First dates are said to be stressful, but I prefer them to just be another challenge in life, where both people can be themselves and see what if anything develops.
