Caught your attention? Good. Yes, I know that a clam is not really a fish, but although some people may not find a clam appealing to look at some have a priceless pearl inside. Now that you have opened my profile, please read on or you could be missing out on a great person. Single for eight years, I am now ready to start the middle stage of my life. I like to travel, go for drives, especially love the beach. Not looking for anyone that thinks drinking is a past-time. Someone that is a good listener as well as talker. An open minded, considerate, romantic, truthful, gentleman that isn't afraid to be vulnerable and open, but not looking for a man to push around either. I've been around the block a time or two and if I have learned anything, it is that we all are just wanting to be loved and respected. We are all vulnerable to life's ups and downs and I think I have handled most of them with dignity and grace and know that I can handle whatever life throws at me. I am pretty easy going and goal oriented. I have been told I have a great sense of humor and of course, who doesn't like to laugh? Love all kinds of music from Big Bands to Pop, R&B, Rock, DooWop, heavy metal, and even a little Rap. I don't play games unless you want to play Poker, Wii, or a board game. Those are the only one's worth playing. Not into playing with the heart strings or heads of others. If you want someone honest, faithful, respectful of others, passionate, and compassionate, then maybe I am worth taking a second look at. I could sit here and write out many paragraphs about myself and what I find appealing, but I think I would prefer to leave something for conversation. Sorry about the picture. It is not the best of me, but it will have to do. May we all find our "True Love".

First date? Probably dinner at a quiet restaurant. Whatever we decide on that makes us most comfortable.
