Date men from United States / Alabama / Piedmont, 47 year old

Date a man from Piedmont, United States. I'm a very easy going person who likes to have fun. Having lived in seven different countries has certainly contributed to my love of travel, nature, and fine food. This has clearly influenced my career choice as an executive chef. It has also given me an appreciation of art (movies and theater), the importance of family (I have twin 7-year old girls whom I adore), and of course, the wonderful mystery of love. Seriously though, I'm looking for friendship first. But for true love and romance, these can only happen with your best friend. My perfect match will be my best friend.
Who am I looking for? Life experiences have shown me that beautiful things come in many different packages. I'm always up for new experiences, so let me know some of your favorite undiscovered haunts. You should have a great sense of humor, and enjoy life outdoors (walking, travel, new adventures, as well as indoors. An appreciation of fine wines would be nice, and if you enjoy a nice meal I'm always happy to cook for friends. Yes, of course that chemistry thing has to be there as well, but who can tell that from a personal ad? Actually, I'm a big believer in face-to-face conversations. So you should definitely be someone who is comfortable spending a leisurely dinner engaged in a wonderful discussion about anything and everything. Sound fun? Let's start with coffee and see what develops.
