OK - Gotta' keep this part simple... :-) Honestly, all I'm looking for in a person is someone who can appreciate how hard I work at my job (trust me, I'm not that dedicated but to provide for a Family, it's an important concept), for someone who shares my importance of having a fantastic/secure Family environment, and most importantly, for someone I love to share great times with, and who appreciates me for who I am. This person should be as trustworthy as the day is long (you'd think this part would be a given) and must be able to accept 2 little girls (12 and 10) in her life, as though they were her own.

Back to me (that kind of why we're here, right?). I'm a lifelong STL resident & although 46, have a brother 5 years my junior and laugh when people ask who's older. I really love the STL area due to Family nearby and the 4 seasons, although could do without the humidity. I love to do anything outdoors (hope to one day snow ski!) because I'm trapped in an office all day long and like most guys, pretty much love all kinds of sports (watching and playing). The first thing I do on a beach vacation is get my kite way up in the air, tie it off on someones unsuspecting beach chair & watch it go. Beaches are great, but with kids growing up, it may be time to do other things. When it's just me, Vegas is fun (everyone has a "little" Charlie Harper in them, right? Great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there!), but so is just hanging out with friends, maybe barbecuing or listening to the game. I'm tired of the bar scene (been there, done that) and do still go out, but I'm a tall white guy so by definition, a lousy dancer (got that slow dance down pat, though). I guess this is the part where I should go on & on about me but what can you really tell about a person thru a website? Shoot me an e-mail & let's meet somewhere convenient for both. No pressure or anything just to sit down and talk (I might nibble a little but I certainly do not bite :-). I'm a big time believer that each person has a prince or princess out there - It's all just a matter of taking that chance....

There's the old saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It's fun on the first date to have a nice dinner out, somewhere close to where both people live, no pressure or nervousness (haven't we all been thru enough? Take a breath and relax.). So picture this - Romantic setting, great food (love Italian), candlelight, good wine & conversation. The rest? It kind of takes care of itself.
