Date someone special from Alabama, United States. I like intellectual pursuits, but do not consider myself an intellectual. I enjoy the paths less taken, the common elements of mankind, the obscure and unnoticed, and the interesting people who are not pretentious. Education is a constant activity for me because there is so much I do not know. I like spending time with people who share this attitude.
I love to travel and am comfortable in most any venue whether it is enjoying a seafood dinner at Wintzel's on Mobile St here in Fairhope, or a five course meal at La Coupole on Montparnasse in Paris, or the latest culinary treat at the French Cooking School on lower Broadway in New York City.
I really enjoy the arts and as a result have visited many of the major art museums in the western world. Since I like the impressionists, my favorite is Musee d'Orsay. I enjoyed going to the very spots where Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Monet painted. It was nice to wander around Arles, France and locate the scenes that Van Gogh painted when he lived there in his Yellow House. And, it was was with pleasure that I enjoyed charcrute in Brasserie Lipp, as Hemingway described in his book, A Moveable Feast.
I also enjoy listening to music; the genius of Mozart, the power of Beethoven, the intricacy of Bach, the elegance of Duke Ellington, and the unbridled fun of Jimmy Buffet. I spend a lot of time listening to NPR because I like its music and programs.
What would I like in a companion? Well, someone who is well grounded and enjoys being themselves. Someone who enjoys others for being themselves. Someone who knows where they are and where they want to go and how to take the critical path to get there. At the same time, they should be aware of other people and their concerns so they can be compassionate.
I have been writing for about a year, and recently my first short story was published. I have submitted other works in literary contests.
Now you have a glimpse of what I like. If you are like things such as this, then join me and help me explore life.

Date single man from Alabama, United States. Life is a great teacher...not so much the good things that happen...but the tests that we all go through...and if we pass life's tests...we grow and become better.

Meet single man from Fairhope, United States. I like being on the water and like to spend time fishing and boat riding on the Magnolia and Fish River and Mobile Bay. I enjoy music (especially live), live college football games, interesting conversations, dining in casual resturants, especially if they are on water.
I am social and like to get together with friends. You would not mistake me for Tom Selleck. If you can get past that, you will find me attractive as I clean up reasonably well.
Am pretty laid back most of the time. I not a fitness nut, but like being active. I have a good set of values and have a positive outlook. If I sound interesting and you are a lady of good features, slim or average build, good sense of humor, and good character, I'll be glad to forward some recent pictures to you.
Date single man from Fairhope, United States. I am a very, very active person. I love going places and being with people, but I would like to have that special person to do things with. I love dancing-all kinds, but mainly swing and polka -2 or 3 times a week, sailing on my 26 ft boat – watching the sun go down and the moon come up, hiking-especially in north Alabama and Tennessee when the leaves are turning, bike riding , traveling - been to 47 states, Israel, Egypt, Holland, Italy, Canada and Mexico. I love creating landscapes, rooting and growing plants, building things out of wood, making things with stain glass, all kinds of sports – mainly football, just lots of things. I believe that God has richly blessed me and given me a great life with a great future. I want a match who truly believes that, "The Best is Yet to Come." Who knows that the sun is shining even when it is raining. Who will enjoy each day and not worry about the future. A person that is affectionate and interment. I miss holding hands, good hugs and sweet kisses. A person that will not only forgive but forget. If you can't forget, you haven't forgiven. A person that can laugh at the bad times and cry at the good times. And most important, a match that wants to be loved and is willing to love. I dream of the day when I can look at that very special one and tell her what she means to me and how deeply I love her.
