Newyork7, 73

The feature that will first capture my attention is your eyes. It isn't just and old saying, they are the window to the soul.

My closest friends describe me as intense with a major streak of wit; admittedly mixed with sarcasm (can't help it..grew up in New York!)

In our free time, my ideal match and I would be able to relax, enjoy our mutual interests, be able to have meaningful conversation and feel satisfaction with each other.

The most important thing in life is my kids, but a full life goes beyond just their needs. As they get older ( 11& 16) their activities are fare less likely to include Dad!

Love-at-first-sight? It can and does happen and personal chemistry is important. That being said, a meaningful relationship takes time, respect and trust. I feel that you need a chemistry "kick start," but then it's important to take quality time to explore personalities, interests and compatibilities.
