Looking for a female companion

Hello ladies, I'm a decent well educated man who enjoys cultural events, going out to dinner, taking walks on the beach after sunset and spending quality with that special someone. I am a college professor and I teach American literature at the university level. I'd like to meet a woman that I can talk and share things with. I am a loyal, humble, kindhearted, romantic and VERY passionate man. I drink on social ocassions, don't smoke or do any drugs of any kind. I am 44 years old and would like to meet someone around my age group or older. Anywhere betweem 38-50 is the age range that I am interested in. If you're a little older is not a problem. I'd like to start out as friends and get to know one another first. I think is an important step before any romantic entaglement can happen. Although I don't want to wait too long either. I'd like to move onward with a relationship as soon as some reasonable time has passed and we have gotten to know each other somewhat if the attraction and chemistry is there of course. I don't post any face pictures on sites because I don't find it all that safe but if you're interested in communicating with me just send me an e-mail and I will promply respond with a photo attached. PLEASE no smokers! I'm sorry I don't mean to exclude the ones that do but since I don't smoke I'd like for the lady that I am to meet does not either. I hope to hear from you soon and thank you in advance for taking the time to read my ad.
