I am a single dad with a beautiful girl who lives with me 50-50. I enjoy the outdoors and being active, when time allows.I am a Florida native and I really love living in this area. I enjoy going to the beach, day or night.I am hoping to meet someone who will feel for me the way I will for her.A best friend who I can tell anything to, share all my thoughts with , and someone who will have my back. A lover who I can show how much she means to me with passion, look in her eyes and know she REALLY loves me with no doubt. It seems like a simple exchange of love and respect , but it is proving very hard to find. Some things I miss about being with someone: touching hair thats not quite dried out of the shower,little nicknames between us,a good morning phone call on the way to work,inside jokes that others dont get,watching you sleep and thinking how beautiful you are,an I love you card out of the blue,little quirks that others may not realize,candles lit enjoying some Asti during a night time thunderstorm,back rubs,going clothes shopping and watching you try on outfits,picking up the phone and calling you almost at the same moment you are calling me,cooking together,you laying your head on my chest as we fall asleep,and just looking at you and knowing you are my girl. I also miss being able to share experiences with someone.Here is an example. My family has a beautiful vacation home in the N.E. Georgia mountains, words can't describe the experience.I was there recently with my long time friend and his wife.They are great company, but I felt kinda lonely despite us having a great time.It is wonderful to share such natural beauty with someone you care for, it enhances the experience.The change of the leaves, cool weather,and those mountains are made for two people in love to share.This is the only place I can relay these thoughts, so forgive me if it rambles.oh yeah, i am addicted to snuggling.never was a big fan until a few years ago,i guess it takes the right person.my body pillow is an ok subsitute- the real thing feels much better.this cooler weather makes me feel touchy feely, wish it lasted longer.New though. So, what is it about one person that makes everything click?I have met attractive, smart, funny, good jobs, etc.. But there is something missing.I have had another person tell me they loved me, I have been waiting for the day to say those words again, but I did not feel the same.What is it about another human being that makes me giddy, think of her when I am driving and just smile.You would think when two people have lots in common and are attracted to one another, love should not be far behind.I am searching not only for all the things I mentioned before, but that one thing that puts me over the edge.Maybe something no one else can see. I feel like I am running, its exhausting.I want to slow down and walk with someone through life, savoring every second we have together.Life is too short.Love and live together slowly and soak in everthing that is us,me ,and you.

A first date could be drinks or coffee to see if we connect in any way.
