A leisurely dinner or lunch would be ideal, as it presents the opportunity for good conversation and getting to know one another.

Always be honest with others and with yourself, and don't hesitate to express what's in your heart. That "communication is the key" may be a cliche, but it's a cliche because it's true.

Basically everything! I would hope that the way I live my life shows this. I'm not perfect, but I keep trying, and hopefully some of the young ladies here feel the same way, which would give us a good foundation on which to build!
I attend Mass weekly, and at other times when my schedule permits, and it would be great to have someone to go with.

I would hope to be married happily to my one true soulmate. Professionally, I hope to be financially successful enough to be able to spend time with my family while also supporting them in a reasonable comfortable manner.

"You will suffer in the world, but take courage; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33)
It reminds me that this world is not all there is and that even if our trials may seem overwhelming, if we have faith, our ultimate reward will be there.

My own interests are many and varied, and I'm someone who's always open to experiencing something different that a new friend is interested in. I enjoy cooking for family and friends; occasionall dining at fine or interesting restaurants; writing; sports--watching thoroughbred horse racing (my father is a retired trainer), baseball, and football (definitely not as obsessively as some fellows--honest!) and playing golf; and just spending time with people I care about. I used to love going to the movies or the theater--and still enjoy the oldies--but I am somewhat turned off by the moral and political bias of so many of the current popular entertainers.

I never learned to dance that well, but I'd like to if I'm ever lucky enough to meet the right partner-preferably petite and patient, haha.

I have a cat, but I also like dogs if they are reasonable well-behaved. I would never abide a snake.

I'm living in Florida now, but I was born and raised in New York and am admitted to the New York Bar, so I would be open to re-location there...maybe keep a place down south for the winter, though!

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, and good luck to all you singles out there in their search for the "right one!"
