Born in the south (Alabama), raised in the north (Cleveland, Ohio GO CAVS!!), I am an easygoing, hard working man who wants to be involved with a woman who values the importance of a relationship. She needs to be true to herself, but also true to our co-existence. I believe that if I have your back, then you should have mine...feel me? That is very important to me because as a man in a relationship with a woman, I know she expects me to be there for her in all ways. My personality and upbringing both endure me to being a gentleman in every way. I like to take care of my mate, but I am also willing to be taken care of too. Think of Usher's "Trading Places" and you can envision what I am getting at. Don't get it twisted, I will treat you the way I want to be treated. The essence of any relationship is one that is based on mutual satisfaction.

I like an assertive, go-getter type of woman. She should know what she wants, be able to communicate that with me, but also be a fair-minded person. I don't believe in being in a relationship with a "high maintenance" type because at that point it is ALL about her. She doesn't have to be stunning, but a beautiful personality goes a lot further with me than a woman who is ONLY physically appealing. As far as the terms of a relationship, I always approach any relationship as it goes along, never rushing or forcing the situation.

I love sports (basketball, football, baseball, and golf mostly), but will indulge in any sport once!! I love to read, especially good fiction. I don't work out as much as I would like, but I am looking for a woman to work out with. When the discussion moves to favorite foods, I like Italian, Chinese, and Soul (LOL). I am not limited to just those types, as I will try any food, so you can surprise me with your own suggestion. I am a roller coaster enthusiast, so thrill seeking is key (Care to ride?) My musical taste is eclectic, ranging from R&B, Soul, Neo-Soul and Hip Hop to Jazz, Pop, Rock & Roll, to Gospel. I absolutely love good comedy, adventure, suspense and thriller movies. I will leave the rest to your questions on a one-on-one basis.
