My goal is to meet a woman online and establish the basis of a long term relationship.I am not interested in a long term pen pal .While entertaining in the short term texting is really only useful to exchange numbers and see if there is a potential compatability.No amount of texting will improve chemistry, which is key.
At this point in my life strength of character is more important to me than physical perfection.Flirtation.playfulness and being somewhat open minded also contribute to
keeping the spark alive .Some of the things I enjoy are travel.movies,live theater and concerts.I enjoy drives,camping ,going for walks or the beach.One thing I am proud of is that I have never cheated while in a commited relationship which is unusual in todays culture.I try to stick to my principles.
I beleive in equality and that power is shared equally although I will cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie lol I am open for negotiations on that.

I am open to suggestions as long as it involves having a conversation.
