I want to start over. We sometimes find ourselves in life wondering how we got to this place. O.K. bad choices plays a part but we learn.
I know I am better off now than past places I have been, yet I regret some things...who doesn't. We grow and we learn.
I have high expectations and I feel confident I am able to do my part in that.

I am looking for a real partner in life.
Someone who will not only accept me for who I am, but will also challenge me.
Not that I need that because I challenge myself already but I guess I need to feel like you are on board with that.

I know from my friends that I am capable of a life less ordinary and I want to find a kindred spirit in this endeavor.
I am a thinking man. Whole and caring and able to communicate fully.
I posses the ability to love completely and this actually intimidates many women.
I won't claim to understand this , yet I accept it.
We all have past experience and that shapes who we are. I also believe that we choose what we will take from those experiences.
Most everything is a choice in fact. I choose a life filled with love and laughter and joy.
Those who need to see what is wrong with life are limited to happenstance and that is a shame.
Perception truly is key to our reality. To claim the contrary seems pointless to me.
I am laid back and thoughtfull. I am witty and kind. I love my work and my family and friends.
I love to have fun and to communicate fully with those who are in my life.
I rarely regret things I have not done or said...in fact most regrets have to do with inaction and words left UNsaid.
My children are wonderful people and they will always have my full attention. I love that they are good and happy and free.
I hope to find someone wonderful. I realy mean that. I know she is out there and she wants to find me too but we simply have not found each other yet.
I want a love that is extrordinary.
If that is selfish then too bad.
I feel so very strongly that this is what we all deserve it is just that we settle for less or find ourselves acting out a part that simply was not meant to be. Understanding this is the first step to hapiness. Being diligent in finding that actually suited partener is the next step and taking the time to build a solid foundation comes next.
The rest should be seemingly effortless. Although we know that any relationship takes work, it should not seem like work all the time. There should be some magic and flow that amazes us.
Takes our breath away. I dream of this do you?

A first date is after two people have met and discovered a connection. Dinner and a walk is nice.
