Dating at 48 is like a round of golf or a day at the airport (fitting, since I’m into both travel and golf):

Golf: Sure, there are some rough patches and unexpected hazards, but when you find that sweet spot? Pure magic.

Airport: The ones with baggage don’t faze me—it’s the ones without that make me pause. No worries here; I’m bringing only a light carry-on—just enough to keep things interesting.

Who Am I?

I’m an educated, easy-going guy with a dry wit (sharpened by life, but softened with charm). I’m always on the hunt for new adventures: be it a weekend road trip, a hidden restaurant gem (yes, I’m a foodie), or even just a night out for pub trivia. With a partner, trivia nights go from “guy yelling at himself” to “dynamic duo.”

When I’m not working on my golf or tennis game (pickleball’s on my radar too), I’m likely with my kids or plotting my next travel adventure. Switzerland, Costa Rica, or another round in Italy are all calling. Got any travel tips—or better, speak Italian? Teach me how to say pasta orders without butchering them.

I’m active, and if I’m not outside, you might find me cooking something up in the kitchen or tackling a DIY project (yes, I actually enjoy fixing things). My ideal balance is equal parts laid-back evenings (Netflix and takeout? Count me in) and spontaneous adventures (like, “Hey, let’s go for a hike!”). If you love the outdoors, good food, and can handle a bit of playful banter, I think we’ll get along just fine.

What I’m Looking For:

You’re someone who loves living fully—whether it’s hiking, running, or heading out for a last-minute adventure. But you also appreciate a quiet evening in. A perfect date might be swapping travel stories over good food, or debating the great pineapple-on-pizza controversy (spoiler: I say no, but I’m open to persuasion).

A Few Things to Know:

I’m here with intention. I’ve done the self-work, so I’m not looking to fill a void; I’m looking for a partner who truly complements me. I’m not in a rush, and I won’t settle for anything less than a real connection with chemistry, respect, and laughter.

No need to play mother or therapist—I’ve got both those roles covered. Let’s just be two people looking to build something real, authentic, and fun.

Bonus points if you appreciate sarcasm, enjoy a good meme exchange, and know how to find humor in life’s little moments.

If any of this resonates, let’s chat. Maybe we can swap travel stories or share our favorite ways to unwind. And if not, thanks for reading—I hope you find what you’re looking for.
