My friends tell me that I'm a really good man. And, the same friends tell me that I'm a PITA as well.

There's not much I won't do for a friend or loved one when they need help. Then again, there's not much I won't do TO a friend or loved one (all in fun). But I keep them "on their toes", and most of 'em enjoy it. I don't hide my feelings about people. Those around me never wonder how they stand with me.

I can be quite serious when I need to be, but prefer to keep things fun. My friends tell me that there is never dull with me around.

For you Astrologers, I'm a Libra-Scorpio cusp. Born just on the Scorpio side. Unlike most cuspers, I do not have a few Libra traits and a few Scorpio traits, I have them all, BOTH Libra and Scorpio. I would say it's worth a date just to see that happen. But if you know how Libra and Scorpio get along, then 'nuff said.

I like the outdoors but have to avoid direct sun light (Dad was a Vampire). I'm a scuba divin' fool and will use any excuse to go diving. Olympic diving is a sport. Scuba diving is an obsession!

My dogs are my children and are as spoiled as they come. I'm an extroverted introvert. I like to say in, watch a movie and such. But I like to get out and in the middle of things too (just no huge crowds). I'm shy at first (enjoy it while you can), but once I feel comfortable around someone, I open up.

I am looking for my soul mate. That would be a rich Dowager that wants a boy toy to drape over her arm as she gallivants around the Caribbean Islands. Unlikely, that! Mostly because any woman who can consider me a "boy toy" is: in a coma, on life support, or has passed away.

So, relaxing the requirements just a bit, a woman who can be herself, and not try to be what she "thinks" I want, would interest me. A Piratess who can be a Lady from time to time. Someone who can help me when I need it and let me help her when she needs it. Someone who can take my off-the-wall and from-left-field humor, and dish it back to me as well. Most of all, a woman who can let me love her and not be uncomfortable with it. That means you gotta put up with the flirting, PDA, hand holding, my fussing over you, etc. I can be gentle, and I can be tough (sometimes all at the same time). I am not a guy for the faint of heart.

One last thing, I know where to touch a woman to drive her crazy. Ask me and see.

I wouldn't suggest a movie because it's not a good place to talk.

I'd let her pick the place so she feels comfortable, has her escape routs etc. Coffee shop, Dinner, Mall, Park, where ever you'd feel safe.

Oh, and Sky diving is OUT , not gonna happen, don't ask!
