I am interested in music, art and design, working around my house, classic films, cars, physical fitness and good stimulating conversation. I enjoy working on my classic cars and showing them.
I also enjoy trips up the coast and to the mountains and other getaways. I enjoy and have traveled throughout the US and Europe.

Although I try to eat healthy, being Italian, I love good food and wine and like to cook, periodically pushing and testing the boundaries of my culinary talents.

I take pride in myself and my home. I have a good sense of humor and don't take myself too seriously.

I am looking for an attractive, intelligent woman who has a sense of humor. I would like to find someone to share similar interests and enjoy each others company. I am low keyed but intense about my interests and the woman in my life.

I think it is important to be able to be best friends. Not only do you want to share intimacies, but also day to day experiences. At times, you have to be a sounding board, which actually involves listening and trying to understand where the other person is coming from. That is where the communication aspect of the relationship comes into play. Many times the communication, or lack of it, becomes a major stumbling block.

When the synergy between two people is right, there is nothing quite like it. Something magical happens and you feel everything is right with the world. There is something about a late night, rainy evening, having lengthly conversations that spill into the early morning hours. Sharing a bottle of wine, some music and that first cup of coffee in the morning. That becomes something memorable. This is what I am looking for.

When I find the right person, I don't believe in dating multiple people. I am honest and expect the same thing from a potential partner. I am not interested in gaming and the rest of the dating nonsense. With the right person, life can be very invigorating. With the wrong person, it can be intolerable.
