...Sorta, kinda, not really, NEVER!! Whew!! At least I got your attention. Anyways..IF I CAN’T MAKE YOU SMILE WHATS THE POINT.
Most everyone wants to be happy or you and I wouldn't be on this site. Life is just too short not to enjoy it as much as possible. I'm finding out a big part of life is having Balance. Its not all about $$$. The free concerts on the lawn can be just as nice as the $1000 front & center seats. It’s all about the memories the experience creates. I understand that the little things truly mean a lot. OK done with the public announcement (as the violins fade out)

Me:
§ Emotionally Available
§ Classic versus Trendy-My grandkids won’t have to ask “Grandpa why are your jeans hangin off your butt in this photo?” (Did we learn anything from the 70/80’s?
§ Understands confidence is an asset, but humbleness is a must
§ Horrible speller. (Spell check-a-holic)
§ I plan procrastination (it’s a rare lost art form)
§ I love the museum (but what the heck is that? and why is everyone else fronting like they know?)
§ Boxers versus Briefs
§ I understand that clean nails and shoe polish doesn’t classify me as “Metro-Sexual”
§ No holes in the underwear. OK..OK I do own 1 pair. (d*mn those things are comfortable)
§ Chronic people watcher, being careful not to judge anyone. But come on now, why is the 75-year-old lady in pushing the booty-shorts.
§ Come on now; give some love to the brotha that ALWAYS puts the toilet seat down!
§ Parent/Co-worker friendly
§ Always willing to pay the bill, but a surprise from you would be nice from time to time.
§ I will admit when I’m wrong. (When I recognize it)
§ I never know the words to a song, so I make up my own.
§ Aggressive Business Man: Addicted to that feeling of success
§ Big Dreamer. (I did give up the one where Janet Jackson asked me to marry her)
§ I'm a mans man, ok..ok…ok..I did watch "American Idol” once or twice.
§ If you pay attention, you can find something new about me all the time.
§ I want to know you better than you. (That takes commitment)
§ I will kill a houseplant in a minute (That takes commitment)
§ Favorite time of the day is dusk.
Rare indulgence: I love to take long drives to nowhere, placing the rush-rush of life in back seat. The Setting is: Blue sky, windows down. Shades on. Audio up (Andre Bochello (I'm sure I spelled his name wrong), Then slide some India Aire along with good conversation.

A romantic at heart, I just don’t share that with all (Picnics, Flowers long walks…Sure we can take a shower together, but d*mnNN why is it a brotha is always in the corner all cold while you try to hog all the hot water?)
I value your opinions but don’t hate because I don’t always agree, my spine does function correctly.
I enjoy a variety of music. (Listening to the same thing gets old). Old School; R&B; Salsa; Jazz; Reggae Rap (Old school rap is the bomb I don’t know what the he@* these new guys talking about, I can't understand half of them).
Right now my CD changer includes: Roots; Dave Mathews; Tribe Called Quest; Dixie Chicks (OK..Keep that one to yourself); Seal; Luther V

You:
§ Be comfortable in your skin
§ No picking fights on my Birthday save it for yours
§ No picking fights after viewing Oprah or the Lifetime channel
§ Have tact and class
* Have a dream & understand its ok to go for it!
§ Ghetto girlfriends welcome on the 3rd Thursday of the month only, all other friends/family welcome anytime.
§ No need to dress up & put on the make-up every time we are out. Jeans and T-shirts are it.
Understand life doesn’t stop because we may occasionally disagree.
So to wrap it up:
FLOWERS: $98.24
NEW SHOES: $135.99
DINNER & SHOW: $289.24
GOING ON A FIRST DATE...AND ACTUALLY HAVING FUN: PRICELESS

hmmmm...lets see what I have done on first dates is prob a better question for me. I think a first dates should be tailored to the individual. Hooking up for a movie doesnt make sense..or meeting for a 3 minute cup of coffee doesnt either. I like to talk with a person before we go out to find out what enviorment will make for a good time for that person..for some its simple and for some its not.
Lets see..Sunrise Hot-air ballon ride..Plane ride along the Eastern Atlantic Coastline. Candle lite Picnic In Washington DC at night among the monuments. Day trip to South Beach Miami Simple bike ride at a Botanical Garden...ok you get the point..if you dont, let me explain its not about how much money you spend but how well you can listen to you what the other person likes so both can have a good time..
