I'm much better at this when sitting face to face with someone but here goes...

I'm passionate and playful and still a kid at heart. While I get my fair share of compliments, I consider beauty to be in the eyes of the beholder. I'm tall at 5'7" with Mediterranean features. I'm still a hopeFUL romantic and know that the right guy is out there - looking for me too. Independent and determined at times but always know when to call it a day, especially when I know there's someone great to go home to. Life is good and I'm happy but really miss sharing love and life with a partner and great guy. Are you him?

I think laughter is good for the soul so I do it often. A good sense of humor is wonderful but never at the expense of someone else's feelings. So comedy along with live music and theatre are things I really enjoy. Oh yes, and I'd love to travel more and experience different cultures.

I'm old school in values but totally present-day in my thinking. I just happen to like some of the qualities and characteristics of "the old days". I'm as comfortable in tennies and jeans as I am dressed up for a night out. A great night can be anywhere doing anything as long as we're together and making each other smile and feel good.

Love nights by a fire, some good music and a nice glass of wine - add good company or someone special and it's a perfect evening to me.

As for you....well, just be the real deal. Genuine and comfortable enough in your own skin not to have to brag about yourself. A good ol' guy who is confident but not arrogant, strong but still loves to hold hands and emotionally and financially in a good place. Someone fun and easy to be with. Tall is a big plus but not a deal breaker - who you are on the inside is what counts.

Ideally, we are two people starting out with a great friendship that leads to a wonderful relationship that we continue to build on individually and together.

I hope I piqued your interest. If I did, let me know. I'd love for you to pique mine as well. Best of luck in your search!

A first date would be.....meeting at some cozy neighborhood cafe/restaurant where we can sit and talk. If there's a good connection, maybe taking a long slow walk on the beach or anywhere else where we can walk and talk and maybe hold hands.
