PLEASE SIT DOWN. No, really.

Please.

Sit down.

There's a better than even chance you're reading these first few words standing up (in a coffee shop someplace, or maybe in someone's home), scanning these lines to see if you want to read any further.

If you are, please sit down. You're not going to want to read the first few paragraphs and then just walk away. You're going to want more time with what's written here. So "steal" as many moments as you can with my page before deciding whether to email me because I want you to know what you're getting yourself into.

I just want to say we’ve all been hurt at some point in our lives, right. And the endless number of faces on this website can be so overwhelming. But, today’s a new day. Hope for a fresh start and that maybe, just maybe, there is one caring man out there who isn’t like all the rest.

Do you want a man who will listen to you closely? Someone who is concerned about your feelings, and is concerned with nurturing your needs? I'm attractive, dark brown and gray hair, brown eyes, HUGE smile, toned, tanned, physically fit and athletic.

I am single, but, it's because I am choosing to be single and I'm not looking for anyone to fulfill me or complete me because I'm already fulfilled and complete. I believe you must love yourself before you can love another. Right now I love myself and being single and am patiently waiting for my one and only and in the mean time loving every minute of being one with myself.

I'm looking to meet a fun, interesting and intelligent woman that enjoys magic moments, romance, passion, and sharing all the little things that matter... someone that is passionate and loves long smoldering kisses, holding hands, watching a movie with the best popcorn in the world (I can cook: it's my recipe) A companion that I can provide for and trust and share with her the feelings inside of me.

and so this is our story . . . .

Once in a lifetime, someone comes into your life who absolutely takes your breath away and makes you want it to never end...

Remember a time when you fell in love? (...deep breath...) There was a moment, a magical moment, a split second, when you first felt that love. It may have hit you, as you are fond of saying, "like a ton of bricks." Suddenly, it came over you. You looked at that person across the room, across the dining table, or on your computer screen and all at once you "knew" that you loved them.

It was sudden. It was instant. It wasn't something you had to think about. It just "happened."

You may have thought about it later. You may even have dreamed about it beforehand - I wonder what it would be like to be in love with that person - but in that moment when you first felt it, first knew it in your heart, it just swept over you. It happened much too fast for you to have "thought" it there. You simply found yourself there, "being in love". You can be in love before you've even thought about it.

I regard my lover as my best friend and foremost confidant. I act on the knowing that my partner’s feelings are equally as strong and important as mine. I will not hesitate to discuss any aspect of our relationship or life with my partner.

I have a never ending love for life's adventures and its wonders. I enjoy Giving. Watching. Listening. Feeling. Smiling, Singing and I am searching for a woman who likes to do those things too.

Some things I appreciate in myself and others: the ability to laugh at oneself, resiliency, affection and choices whose actions leave this world a better place. I value and cultivate integrity, mindfulness, awareness, honesty, responsibility, kindness, intelligence, authenticity, curiosity, gratitude, spirituality...

I express my love openly
playfully
joyfully
outrageously
passionately
sacredly
romantically
humorously
spontaneously
touchingly
creatively
unabashedly
sensually
and, of course, frequently.

My name is Paul and I'm tall, fit, funny, romantic, literate, over-educated, resourceful, outgoing, upbeat, and unique man that is into exploring our human potential... I am active and love the outdoors, however, I also like a little down time. Love to do many interesting things...some of which include log home building, yachting, travel, ballroom dancing, beaches, tennis, and spending quality time in communion with the woman I love. You. I'm honest and up front and appreciate the same in a woman.

Curiosity and passion define me most. I enjoy teaching, writing, creative design, Apple computers. I am happy and thriving emotionally, spiritually, and professionally.

I have a high degree of self-acceptance, self-awareness and self-confidence. I am self-sufficient, but prefer to be in relationship with a compatible woman by my side who appreciates that. I have valuable friendships both personal and professional and room in my life for a special woman. I am the most passionate when in a relationship with someone that is open-minded and has a sense of humor and laughs frequently.

I aspire to live my life with balance: Internet entrepreneur and Spiritual Life Coach trainer/workshop facilitator. One of my goals is to have workshop spaces around the world for use 24/7, by 2012. It is a massive undertaking: I am passionate about the project. My spiritual life is quite important, but the form is not rigid. I’m as happy exploring nature as I am being in church or temple. My careers have allowed me to fulfill my purpose and help others fulfill theirs at the same time.

What makes me unique is that I am a skillful communicator; expressing myself in clear, positive and constructive, ways. I have a well-developed skill-set to achieve intimacy (into me see) and happiness with my partner. I'm capable and motivated to make our relationship work in exciting, passionate, intimate, and more playful ways over time.

I am companionable, sensual/sexual, present, lively, relaxed, interesting, enlightened, bright, (141 IQ) right brain/left brain balance, curious, contemplative, and spontaneous. I am a renaissance man, and have gold medals in kissing and cuddling.

I love being outside with the feel of the wind on my face and hearing the sound of crickets under diamond skies on a clear Summer night... I love the sight of a double-rainbow, the first cry of a newborn babe, and seeing the last ray of a spectacular sunset...

My taste in music is varied, depending on mood and situation: for example for dancing, Latin rhythm, both fast (Tito Puente) and slow (Laurindo Almeida), rock and roll, reggae and hip hop gets the nod for faster dancing. If I am reading I enjoy listening to Baroque music because it balances both sides of my mind and I retain more of whatever I'm studying. Blue Grass for driving, Jazz for dinner. For giving or receiving massage, New Age.

I am not deterr
