A little about me: I am a Christian and do my best to live my life as one! I have two girls (18 & 16). My oldest is away in college and my youngest is a Jr in high school. We enjoy camping, ride quads, fishing, hiking, watching movies, and just hanging out together. I am looking for someone to join us and become my side kick and a friend to my daughters. I became a widower after an 18 year marriage in Oct. 2004. I remarried in 06 to a women that I did not know well enough and that ended in divorce 9 months later. A mistake I made and learned a lot from!

What am I looking for in a date... I'm looking for a friend that could become my wife and partner. Don’t let that scare you; I think that’s the goal for all of us on here… right? I am looking for that friend to be someone I can love and love me back. Someone that together we can live life's ups and downs and support each other through them. Someone that is strong in who she is but knows she can lean on me when she needs to. I am close to my girls and I need someone that can accept them as my girls and there friend and not look at them as there competition. Been there, done that, not good! I need this friend to be secure in who she is. In my past I was married for 18 years to my best friend and lost her to cancer at the age of 39. I am sure that you have a past and there is nothing wrong with that. Your past is what made you YOU! If there becomes a connection with us, YOU are the one I am attracted to. I am not a jealous person and I am secure in who I am. I would not have a problem talking with you about the people in your past. If we become close friends the past is what made us who we are and that is ok... no matter what the past was. I guess what I’m trying to say is you are now single (form a marriage or relationship) and so am I. Something happened! I lost my best friend and I am still close to her family. Who are the aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins of my girls. I need someone who is secure in who she is and does not find that as a threat and I will do the same for you and your family. I will not compare you to my first wife, you are two different people with different feelings, emotions, ways of life… and it would not be fair to you. Wow, after I read this myself maybe I got a little to deep to fast! I hope not. If you can relate and understand my heart I hope to hear from you!! Thanks for stopping by, Ted
