Seriously interested in meeting FRIENDS after thorough exchanges ( I have to get to know a person's mind before I commit myself to meeting someone, I do not like rushing into anything ) to share ideas, conversations and eventually meet. Interested in current events, am an avid reader, enjoy arts & crafts, collecting antiques, and strolling down a country road. I'm also an animal lover, I find them highly appeasing. I'm not an urbanite & would rather seek some peace & quiet than the fast paced environment of the city life. I enjoy the simple life. Reserved but also sociable, talkative & reflective would best describe me. Looking for liked-minded individuals. Ideally looking for someone in my age range from 48 to 60 ( give or take a few years ) without young children. A picture of myself will be added in the near future. I AM NOT INTERESTED AT ALL IN MARRIED OR ATTACHED MEN.
