I am a down-to-earth, fun-loving, honest gentleman and the proud father of a beautiful 8 year old girl. When I am not spending time with her, I enjoy spending time with friends, going to concerts and local hang-outs to hear live music, dining out and sharing a good bottle of wine and great conversation with an attractive woman, cooking at home and trying out new dishes, exercising, whether it be working out, riding a bike, or any activity that gets me outside and moving, watching movies at the theatre or at home with someone special, cultural events, festivals, the ocean, antiquing...I am up for just about anything. I believe in expanding your mind and your comfort zone and challenging yourself each day to be the best you can be and keep on growing. I love to laugh and am seldom seen without a smile on my face. I believe that life is good regardless of the news and other people's perceptions. There is so much out there to do....I just want to find someone who wants to share experiences with me....I am looking to meet a woman who makes my heart skip a beat and whose own heart beats a bit faster when we are together. I am happy with my life, but know that anything is better when shared.

I like to be flexible and spontaneous so my ideal first date would vary depending on the interests my date has. I would want us to have plenty of time to talk and get to know one another, so dinner at a quaint restaurant with a warm ambience would be a good start. Beyond that would depend upon the mood we were in...flexibility is key, as are several fun options.
