Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

Upon composing thoughts about dating at a "senior" age, it occurred to me that we seem to all be searching for the same thing- not really walks on the beach or romantic dinners or cruises to another planet, but more likely warm conversation and companionship, coupled with the sweetness of romance. Those of us who have lost a spouse or partner especially miss this, along with the eventual intimacy we're hoping to attain, that we also lost. It's easy to "date" at a younger age, but after 65 and a lengthy relationship it almost seems unlikely. Almost. I look forward to getting to know someone, talking about our past, our lost love, our aches and pains (inevitable), sharing stories about fun and happy times, along with shorter dissertations about pills and difficulty getting up from the floor and memory loss in mid sentence and how many teeth we have left and needing to be careful when we sneeze... and it would be wonderful if the person who checks my profile is looking for a similar age bracket- you know, the one where we are too old to be young BUT still too young to be old..Who I hope to meet is a woman who is intense, kind and caring, someone who takes care of herself and enjoys taking care of their partner, as I like to do. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder- someone's frog is another's princeess. It's important to converse as well as listen, and to be able to relate. Taking the time to get to know each other is so important, as is intimacy and physicality, and it needs to be cultivated. Maybe not too long, we are after all old.  Remember, we are used to being a certain way, and now we are starting over again, and it's scary. But also fun and quite pleasant. I look forward to meeting you, whoever you are..

I am a retired MBA jack of all trades. Aside from being an avid reader, physical fitness is a key part of my life, I am an active athlete and yogi. I don’t drink or do drugs. All of that helps me maintain my fit and athletic appearance.

On a daily basis I try to mediate and live in a state of gratitude. Love to make connections, meet in person, have coffee or tea and get to know folks.

I love traveling the world with a backpacker mindset. Recent trips include flying in the hold of Military Cargo planes and dead heading across Germany to visit family on the Spanish Mediterranean Coast.
