I'm the real deal. I'm a kind man with a big heart. I'm charming and have a good sense of humor. I know how to treat a lady. Chivalry is not dead and nice guys don't finish last. I'm affectionate, considerate, loving, and loyal. I am a good mix. I'm a typical guy that does guy stuff. I love sports. I used to play hockey, now I play golf. I love going to games and have been to a lot of stadiums. I'm passionate about the Cards and Blues. Rams...ehh...not so much. I'm a Bears fan. My dad is from Chicago, so my loyalties in football and basketball lie there. I enjoy live music from time to time and especially like small venues. I love movies to the point where naming my favorite is not possible. I also am in touch with my emotions and have been known to tear up during a movie from time to time. (Don't tell my boys) If their is chemistry, I like to show interest in what you like to do. I am open-minded, so I'm game for a lot of things, as long as it's within reason. I think shopping with girls is fun. (Again, don't tell my boys) I like when girls are a little feisty and playful. I can be silly and like to goof around. That's enough about me for now.

A good date usually starts with good food. If you can't enjoy dining together, then what's the point? I like trying new things, so, I hope you like to eat. A glass of wine is optional depending on what the feast is. Movies are great, but conversation is lost. I prefer to do that on later dates. Laughing is key on a first date, so anything that encourages that is a good thing. Honestly, after dinner, is up for discussion. I like to have things planned, but spontaneity is a good thing. Besides, I'm not going to give away my ideas until we go out.
