I am handsome so my daughters tell me and I have never questioned their veracity! LOL I am fit and eat right,I am 5-7,180 lbs,I dance,I am extremely romantic,I am an American born Italian,sing in the shower with my beagle pet joining me and we keep the windows closed because we are not that good but it keeps us happy, I am catholic but not a fanatic,I tolerate all religions and non-believers too, I have been a widower since may 2000,I have not dated being occupied baby sitting my two granddaughters while both parents worked, the youngest is now in school full days so I am no longer needed and would like to start dating, I have preference for a slim,slender,thin,petite woman,not over 5-5,she is attractive and consider herself romantic, age doesn't matter,if you dance that is good because I like to dance but if you don't know how that is OK too,I do my own cooking and baking and like doing it,my favorites are italian sauce,Irish stew,meat loaf,and I bake cream cheese pies using Marscarpone cream cheese with cherry topping and I bake a mean carrot cake-both are my granddaughters favorite,I like most music except rapt,I don't mind opera if it has sub-titles,I read non-fiction mostly,I do not read fiction,I stay out of politics but I am self opinionated and vote accordingly, I like a good dinner and good conversation, my favorite wine is Lambrusco but drink little,I do not know if the moon and the stars are aligned to allow me to love again but I would like that with the right woman! We need to remember that time is of the essence and life is so precious to dwell in procrastination should be outlawed because it has no positive merit! Would like to meet someone who would like a relationship based on my fulfilling all of her spiritual and physical needs without exceptions!
