I'm a genuine, loyal man. Integrity is important to me and I know chivalry still exists, because I was raised to be that way. My friends would describe me as dependable, with a good heart. Open and to the point. "I wear my heart on my sleeve." Quick witted and sarcastic. I'll make you laugh if you're quick on the up-take! I'm also very sure of who I am and what I want and expect out of life, but not in conceited way. Rather, with humble understanding of what's important in life.

I've experienced some bumps along the way and am stronger for having endured them. It has also made me thankful and appreciative of all that I do have in life. Mainly my family, good friends, my health and an interesting and challenging career.

My partner will be strong and sincere. Loyal and affectionate. Kind hearted and caring. Able to appreciate an affectionate, romantic man. I'm not looking for the perfect woman. I'm looking for the perfect woman for me! Someone that knows I'm perfect for them.

I love all types of music. Country, rock, classic or a night out dancing (my diverse downloads on i-tunes would make some people scratch their head). I'm very passionate about the outdoors and very spiritual. I believe I'm a deep thinker, but know I don't have all the answers. Someone that will challenge my views is healthy and will be a welcome perspective.

I hope I haven't been to serious, because I can appreciate a good laugh, even at my expense!

A first date could be anything from lunch and a walk in a park to a few beers and bowling. It has to afford time to talk and get to know each other. Even if it's just sitting in a quiet restaurant, for three hours, before the waiter says we have to order or leave. Intimacy begins with learning the depth of a person. Maybe it will also be a last date, but if you leave knowing a little more about life or your self you are better for having spent that time!
