<p><span>Hello,</span><br /><br /><span>this meeting thing...we will do the usual dance of getting to know each other, perhaps sparing each other with a discussion of the weather on the first date. What determines the second or third date? How we feel about each other after the first. I don't want to simply go out with you. I want to experience you as you will have the same opportunity with me. I have lived my life and enjoyed the good things and hopefully learned from the not so good things such that the sum total is who I am currently. At this stage, I am not overly ambitious; that was for a different period in my life. I am an achiever and I am eternally curious about many things. So, different foods, different cultures, and understanding how stuff works definitely gets my attention. </span><br /><br /><span>I still am old school, like all kinds of House music, but can do an evening at Ravinia with the CSO. I enjoy fine dining, but could whip up an multi-course meal at home over some great wines and a dessert with chocolate. When we are apart, I hope you feel like the child on Christmas Eve, with a heightened sense of anticipation. Then after we have spent time together, I hope to leave the impression of seeing Cirque du Soleil, or the Grand Canyon for the first time. While we are not enjoying long walks on the beach and are experiencing the yuk yuk of daily living, know that I am a man that you can talk to, about anything.</span><br /><br /><span>Content of character is important to me, not the color of your skin. If you have an issue with melanin buh bye.</span><br /><br /><span>I have a basic membership...for now</span></p>
