I was happily married for 38 years. I became a widower seven plus years ago.
I grew up in Asia and came to the US after my graduation from medical school. I've lived in Westchester County, NY, Manhattan, New York City, Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and Houston, Texas prior to my coming to California.
With all honesty I do not know how to cook, but I do love to eat. I like Chinese food and Thai food. I do enjoy having a nice dinner (French /Italian cuisine) with a good glass of wine. I adhere / follow the Golden Rule.
I enjoy having short conversations over coffee. Love to be outdoors but enjoy too being indoors. I'm very healthy, not on any medication, and I walk a lot. I'm currently working on a book (writing my medical memoirs)
I am looking for a good friend, a loving lover,a good match, someone with a sense of humor, who enjoys to be loved and to be held with loving kindness and embrace. I'm a very loving and caring person and I expect the same from her. Mostly, she can expect me to respect her opinions, and her likes and dislikes and I expect her to do the same for me. We should be able to enjoy doing together many things such as week-end trips,travels both to local, regional, national and foreign trips. Museum visits, wine tastings, walking on the beach, seeing plays, the operas, and discussions on various topics. I'm a sensuous and humorous man and I would love her to be sensual and have a sense of humor like me. I'm a "gentle gentleman" and you can expect me to treat you the way a real lady should be treated.
I am a very considerate, honest, sensitive, and respectful person and I love children. I've worked with children for many , many years. I love their constant quest for knowledge, their honesty, and their inquisitiveness. I have grandchildren of my own.
I'm looking for a good match, someone who could potentially be a lifelong partner and mate in a monogamous relationship. Chemistry between two people is so important, the physical attraction and inner interaction and respect and trust for each other are paramount in a lasting relationship.
I know you are somewhere there. Please drop me a line.
