I am a kind, caring and affectionate man, not afraid of talking about what I am thinking or feeling. I am happy and enjoy laughing often, I enjoy seeing the humor in things, and I often do. t. I'm a true romantic at heart and love to have a good time.I like to treat a lady like a lady. Make her feel special and loved. I value trust, honesty, compassion, and friendship.Friends would describe me as quietly confident, a nice guy, fun to be around, with a kind and gentle spirit.My values are fairly simple, but very important to me ... faith, family, and friends. My faith gives me hope and provides me with a deep sense of peace. I believe that loving relationships are precious and must be nurtured. I tend to lead with my heart.I enjoy nights on the town ... a movie, dinner, concert, the theater ... and the outdoors. But I also like the simple things in life. Laid back evenings cuddling in front of a fire or watching a movie. A bike ride or walk in the park. A walk on the beach. I am interested in meeting someone who takes care of themselves both physically and mentally, who is growth oriented, likes to learn, and likes to share revelations.I am an outgoing guy who likes to share affection. I am not afraid to show that special someone just how special she is. My perfect match would be someone who is confident, respectful, caring, not overly jealous, and can have fun doing anything. I can enjoy running around all day or staying home working on the yard or house. I am looking for a woman to spend the rest of my life with who will both inspire and challenge me. I'm very close with my family and friends so family values is important. You might not pick me out of crowd right away, but I get better looking as you get to know me as I am an interesting mix of someone who can go out and do things or stay home and watch a movie with the one I love. I have been told I am cuter than my picture, which I do not have many of. I believe in balance in life and I work hard, but it does not dominate my life and I take time to enjoy life too. I'm fairly athletic, have played sports all my life so I am in good shape. I am college educated, I have a stable professional job. I own a house and am responsible and dependable. I'm a great uncle. I like a nice dinner out and enjoy a cultural variety of foods, but also prefer to make a simple dinner at home with the one I love. I have traveled well in the US for my job, but would like to visit more places worldwide. I enjoy good conversation, especially good natured debate and don't mind a differing viewpoints as long as it is presented in a good-natured way. Love is essential to overcome the tough times and so I hope to find it so I hope to find out there somewhere. I am a one women man and am not sure where she is and so I am trying out this web site even though you live very far away. What if the one for me is in another country? Why not try and see what happens? DO YOU BELIEVE? ARE YOU REAL? I do and I am. I want to believe in this "internet thing" and hope that you are real in who you are and in what you want. May I also say that I am happy that you are reading this; thank you. I must also apologize for the length of this “intro” – but I cannot see how to simply say a few opening sentences to you. I must say more!
