Am shy but friendly and a better listener than a talker. At times, am too serious and need help to chill out. Seek casual and fun dating but if a firmer bond develops this would be fine. In the past 12 months, lost over 50 pounds and therefore place importance on physical appearance. Seek a female companion between the ages of 18 and 35 who lives within 50 miles of Lake Geneva, WI. When it comes to dating, am very open minded about a woman's race, religion and politics. Most of my past girlfriends have had the same personality as me but I do believe that opposites can attract under the right conditions. Have a college degree in Journalism and a successful 31-year career as a newspaper writer and photographer. Am retired but keep busy composing story ideas for motion picture screenplays and also composing books, novels and 2 weekly blogs for national web sites. This is a fascinating way to spend your time. Right now, I am working on a Western and also a past romance based on a true story. Live alone and do not have pets.
