The best relationships begin as good friendships. I am looking for a friend first, and hoping for something that has long-term potential. I do not have any particular type that I am attracted to. It is great that you have your own opinions and ideas. Our relationship would be boring if you always agreed with me. I am slow to take offense and quick to forgive. A balanced relationship is give and take. I can offer lots of warmth, affection, encouragement, and sympathy.

I have a wide range of interests and activities. I enjoy learning new things, helping others, and getting involved in my community. I am not constantly on the go and balance active time with down time. I love being a father, and I love children. I am a Seattle native. I do not drink, but I don't mind if you have one. I wear a suit and necktie on appropriate occasions. I am clean shaven nearly every day. I am not a complainer, and I try not to discuss the shortcomings of other people. I am church-going Christian, and I live my faith in a peaceful, unassuming manner. I respect others' beliefs and values.
