I am 73 yo widower, emotionally, and financially secure. I am seeking a new best friend, life partner, travel companion, lover, and hopefully wife I believe honesty, loyalty, good communication, and caring are important in a serious relationship. I love to spoil my mate and make her feel loved and important every day. I am attracted to those with a good sense of humor and believe that laughter is good for the soul.
I am blessed with a large family consisting of 5 grown children, 10 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandsons. I keep myself busy by going to the gym twice a week and volunteering at my church's food pantry by helping to feed nearly 300 families a week.
I have lived in Michigan my whole life, and it is where most of my family lives. I retired at the beginning of 2019, live by myself, and I enjoy working on DIY projects around the house. My political views are conservative, and I try to be healthy physically, emotionally, spiritually and attend church every Sunday. I am a cuddly teddy bear and consider myself a gentleman who embraces chivalry when it comes to women. I enjoy good conversations, laughter, good movies, music, travel, dining out, cuddling, holding hands, and ?? together. The right woman and I will have good chemistry, enjoy each other’s company, like to eat healthy (mostly for me), enjoy doing things together, but are comfortable being apart from one another as well.
I like dogs but don't have any because I am not home enough to take care of one. I like all kinds of music, including contemporary jazz and love live music concerts. I clean up well but would prefer our first meeting to be casual at a restaurant or over a cup of coffee.
