Hello,

My Name is Toby and I am from New Zealand and have lived in Miami Beach for over 22 years. I am a young and successful professional that has found it difficult finding a compatible love and have decided to try online dating. I am a true local and attended Miami Beach High and graduated from the University of Florida with a business degree. I have owned my own business for over 10 years and respected in my industry. I consider myself to be a catch, and I am not willing to just settle for anyone. I can cook like a chef and I am Romantic, Caring, Trusting and Trustworthy, Athletic, Intelligent, Honest, Attractive, Fun, Funny and loving. I am a man who knows what he wants and not interested in wasting time with small talk. Finding your ideal partner in life is difficult and before I can open my heart to my potential new best friend and lover, I need to know that this special person is compatible with me; otherwise I would rather just stay single. I have been in love before and knowledgeable about matters of the heart. I am an optimist, but not convinced that I will find my ideal lover on an "online" dating site. I am so tired of going out to the clubs/bars and seeing the same faces of self centered and pretentious people, but I wish I could find my soul mate.

I have a list. A tall list, but at least I have a list. This is list of wants but not necessarily needs. I am seeking someone like myself and I, myself, have all of the following characteristics and more to offer. Please make notes, If you date a lot and seem to pick the wrong guys then you need to look at your dates or yourself and wonder why! This may be too much but I am even a deeper person than this and the average guy.

WIthout saying, she must be honest and sincere, trusting and trustworthy. No games please, just be honest and open about who you are and what you want in life. "Tricks are for Kids" just like the cereal!

First of all she must be Independent. Carrier oriented and no need for a man to support her or her life style. A woman who wants a man for love and not money. That is real love, not survival. I can support myself and a family with all the luxuries of a young professional, but I am not seeking to be someone's parent or sugar daddy for money. I am not cheap and very generous to friends who are grateful, but would want to be with someone that has some dignity and respect for me and themselves. So for you club kids and unambitious club girls seeking a free ride and free drugs, press NEXT! A desperate woman is a total turn off for me and is what old men look for in South Beach to control young and attractive women. Yuck!

Second, she should be Attractive. Not ideally a model! But attractive and beautiful to me that I want to make love to her every day. Yes, I said it and I am a passionate person with the one I love, I have been told it is because I am a Cancer. She must posses a great personality, humor and be someone that takes care of there mind and especially their body. Love can not last unless my partner can live a healthy and fulfilling life.

She must posses Intelligence. Educated and able to have an intelligent conversation. Not easy to find in South Beach, but a real gem is never easy to find in the rough. Must have looks and brains to match with a personality. Yes I know this is a TALL list! Great conversations, and open communication can keep a relationship healthy and viverent.

She must be able to Love. You must be able to love to receive love. A caring and unselfish woman who appreciates a man for who he is and only wants the best for him and only want to change him for the better, if at all. She must also be able to love themselves and not am addict or have substance abuse issues. No exceptions to this rule. Love is usually tough and not easily learned, and I only have to see the relationship one has with their parents to know.

Finally she must be Fun. Spontaneous, adventurous, extraverted and social. Enjoys traveling and exploring new places. There is no point in working hard if you do not enjoy yourself. Enjoying and appreciating life is important, and each day should be cherished and is truly spectacular when you share it with your loved ones.

So if you posses theses traits, I would be very interested in meeting you and getting to know you. I truly look forward to meeting my new best friend and love of my life.

NOTE: My photos are all current and represent me. Please ensure that your photos are current, no high school or old photos.

It would depend on the date, but it must be fun. A romantic dinner is always good to get to know someone, besides being being too predictable. Maybe a ride via Wave Runner in Biscayne Bay with a champaign picnic , a concert, drinks in at an elegant club or hotel bar in South Beach, a movie and ice cream on Lincoln Road; So many places and choices. But, I would be shocked and impressed if I was taken out on a date for once and I would be truly surprised by her. But I think I am asking for too much....
