Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Lafayette, 65 year old

Date someone special from United States. I have always been a very curious man and I have had the good fortune to have had several careers in which I could exercise that curiosity. I have also had the chance to exercise that curiosity through education (both formal and informal) and travel. My ideal match is someone intelligent, ebullient, curious, fit and faithful. I love to exercise and play sports, particluarly golf; I like to stay in shape and appreciate a woman who feels the same way. I also have the time and means to travel. I would love to find someone who wants to explore the world. I am a communicative man; so, I want to meet someone who is open and willing to share her thoughts and feelings and is excited about hearing what I feel and think. As an open person, I love to entertain in my home, whether I am hosting one special person or a party of dozens. I am also very romantic, and I would love to meet someone who appreciates not only a sense of romance but also the attention of a courtly gentleman. Finally, I am a rather casual individual in terms of dress; but I love to put on a tux for special occasions.

Meet men and women from United States. Some say I am Intelligent, and I appreciate that. I think of myself as kind, warm, love animals, not a partier, introspective yet communicative.
I retired at age 57, financially secure, recently went back to work part time io keep active and involved.
I love working around the yard, and also love my fireplace.
I prefer classical and very oldies music.
I love books, especially biographies (Descartes, Galileo, Einstein) Plan to build a time machine!!! I thought it would be wonderful to travel to the future but now want to go back to the past.
Still planning on taking cooking lessons. I can handle myself in the kitchen a little bit but would love to explore more. I think of myself as a "helper"...good at chopping onions...would be fun to assist and share.
Plannining on taking French lessons and piano lessons.
Haven't dated for a long time; not sure of the rules anymore.
Love small venues like the OrindaTown Hall Theater, and LOVE dining out.
