Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Shannon, 61 year old

Date someone special from Shannon, United States. Before you read on, stop for a moment. Are you hiding your profile???? If So, please do not read mine, play fairly. I do not believe in dual or multiple standards. If you look at me, I want to be able to look at you too. Let's all play by the same set of rules!!!
As a middle of the road, middle-age, straight, male divorcee, I am not an abuser of substances or women. And, I do not have a criminal record. I take the conservative option in most things. Trying new things and ideas is attractive to me, but I'm not into "high-risks." The grocery stores like to see me coming as I am likely to try new products. And, I don't need to read the reviews to try a new restaurant. I read more than I watch tv. I enjoy crossword puzzles and word jumbles that are in the news papers. I can't live on yesterday's technology-"my momma and daddy always did it this way" is not a good reason for hanging on to what is now outdated. I'm wanting to connect with a straight female near my age that can and will communicate. Just be looking forward and not backwards. I will respect your free will, station in life, opinions, and existing obligations; please respect mine. And, you may ask me anything!
I do not push the envelope anymore but neither am I a couch potato. Keeping active is part of my lifestyle. I don't mind driving the backroads now and then. I believe that serendipity is the key to starting and maintaining healthy relationships.
