First off, please understand that I am a pretty old fashioned guy, well grounded (I know who I am and what I'm about), chivalry is alive and kicking in my life. I love the outdoors, which means I love sunrises just as much as sunsets! I love staying in shape and eating healthy, I enjoy having my personal quiet time. I don't need to be in a relationship, I'm choosing to be in one...where it leads to will be shared with that special someone...That said, I enjoy the closeness, the sharing of life's experiences, taking snapshots of life's moment's and building memories. I expect that at this point in our lives 'looking out for yourself' isn't a bad thing. Most of us here on the dating site have had to put up with someone else's BS, (and much of our own) only to come out on the other side stronger, better and wiser for the experience. Age and experience has it's advantages, you know what you want and you know what you don't.
