I'm 59,never married & have no children. I realize that is unusual but I promise you I am not a lunatic or a lesbian,just happy where I am in life and not ready to settle.LOL I live alone in NY on Long Island. I'm of Italian decent & am very lucky to be able to work from home. I have a ridiculous sense of humor,sometimes sarcastic but always funny. I'm interested in starting with a "normal" dating relationship & just letting it see where it goes organically. Other than that, I'm kind, honest to a fault, curious intellectually & generally fun to be with, I know because my mom says so LOL.I’ve tossed aside most of my baggage except a dainty carry-on. When I do get it down from the overhead compartment, the stuff that’s in there is pretty benign and nothing I would be ashamed to show you. I’m extremely easy-going. There is no secret to me. I say what I mean, there is never a hidden agenda. About the one I'm looking for...Long conversations about a mutually fascinating topic over a glass of wine is a great way to spend the day, good company and good conversation with the sun on my face. I’m an excellent communicator and know that that’s the key to a successful relationship. I’m ready for a passionate partnership with a man who intrigues and fascinates me,challenges my mind and makes me laugh. I want to enjoy the company of a gentleman, in the definition of the word my grandmother would have used.
