This is a great time of life - looking at new options and opportunities. New friends are wonderful & a personal relationship that is built on trust, honor and respect is key. Want to meet a true partner, equal, friend.

I am tall, full-figured, smile a lot, have a big heart, love to laugh and enjoy life. Enjoy cooking - more fun when you are cooking with someone. Enjoy traveling and meeting new people - folks just seem to open up to me easily and they share a lot of great things with me. I am generally pretty happy and easy going. I am a Christian, I write poetry and have been published; I enjoy the beauty of Colorado and am proud to call it home. Learned how to race cars (Chevelles). Like watching Mad Men, Warehouse 13, Antiques Roadshow, Heroes, The Mentalist, NCIS.

I am a hopeful romantic who believes in the goodness of man. I know that I can not count on anyone else for my own happiness and that I can give of myself to bring happiness and joy to others. I know that all the little things do really matter. I have a tender heart and will tear up when I see or hear something touching. Music and art are special to me - I love to hear and see the way others express themselves. Enjoy many types of movies (just not horror) Last great books I read were "The Last Lecture" and "The Shack".

About you - I would hope that you are also a Christian. That you are kind, intelligent, creative, romantic, hardworking, strong, see the humor in life - really who wants to be serious all of the time. Have a great smile, a quiet strength, beautiful eyes, strong back and powerful legs.

Gentle with others - wise, responsible, a good steward of money who honors his commitments, respectable and a great role model for others. That you are able to spend time with those you care about, your family and friends are important. You are able to communicate your needs and wishes and then be able to listen and understand the same of others. I would like you to be able to give wonderful hugs - just because, kiss sweetly and passionately, make me melt with the sound of your voice and the touch of your hand.

I do not know what else to write here - so, if you would like to ask me questions to find out more I would be happy to answer them.

I do not have a cookie cutter idea of what a first date should be - we are all different and should enjoy new experiences as they come up. As we talk we can decide what we would enjoy.
