***If you don't have a pic, I don't think it's fair to see me and not you, so I probably won't reply*****
December 2009 update, congratulate I just got my Associate's degree at 44, lol!
I believe romance is only dead if you let it die. Don Juan Demarcos starring Johnny Depp, and Marlon Brando is my favorite move and I still watch it taking notes. I also believe in a good slow romantic kiss, the kind that last for 3 days, lol.
I moved to Grand Rapids in 2006 and I'm still discovering all this area has to offer me.I moved here from Alpena MI. I am back to school and I am close to a associates degree, and will probably stay in college after that because I like to keep learning.
I have a 16 year old, 6 foot 2 tall son, who I am very proud of. And I am always sure to learn from him as well as teach. I think you can learn from anyone and should try, when you can.
I play guitar. I am romantic, and will play your favorite love song. I don't sing the best, but I get by. I would love to be with a woman who would sing while I play.
I'm one who appreciates manners, and I have always opened doors for women, always try to say excuse me when passing.I believe in having a good time, drink occasionally, and love concerts and movies.I love rollerblading also, and I'm told I give professional level massages.
I have been around the world also, France, stationed in Germany for 5 years on and off, Austria, England, Holland (the country lol), Spain, and even have been as far north as Canada lol.
I am a 3rd generation veteran, and I grateful those who serve today, and have served.
I would like to find someone that is honest, caring, knows how to communicate, has respect for others, trustworthy and faithful,knows that being in a relationship takes work (TEAM WORK),that knows how to BALANCE their life and also make time for me (us), someone that when she says she's going to call, is good about calling or when she'll be there, she'll try to be there on time.
I want to surround myself with positive caring people who know how to live life to its fullest. Motivation, positiveness, love and success are things that are infectious and contagious. Eliminating bad elements and negative people from my life is my goal.
You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got, always remember what you had and always remember to forgive and learn from it, learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change and things go wrong but always remember LIFE GOES ON.

There are moments in your life that make you and sets the course of who you're going to be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes, they're big moments you never saw coming. No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It's what you do afterwords that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
I'm on a a bit of a health kick now too, I've lost weight and never felt better. Catch me if you can, lol.

A successful relationship requires:
Falling in love many times with the same person.

I like going out to dinner, or coffee, conversation and getting to know someone.
