I enjoy fishing when i get the chance to,also cycling and hiking.I like wrestling and romantic walks.My main goals are to get back on my feet with employment after a long lay-off.i moved back here a little over 3 weeks ago from east texas,hopeing to restart old employment.That plan put me on hold so now I am hunting like most lay-offs.I am down to earth and honest,not really shy.I am no party head or game player.I gave that up 20 years ago with drinking,grew up from mindless games.I grew up in the motown,rock era,I like music like Styx,Kiss,Pat Benatar,Ozzy,Elvis,and some country.I am a very heart to heart person.I am no abuser and do not seek one.I feel relationships can not survive at that level.A ballance should be present and kept,rember it is a partnership..I learned that too painfully from 2 past marrages,now its time to step up and use good morals with respect on future relationship issues....

My idea of first dates is to break the ice gently.start as new friends and enjoy the newness,No need of showing off or bragging of things.Just treat one another openly and with respect as one would with an old friend.I am not much on shyness,I tend to push over that nature.I am old school on dates,movies,walks,meeting at home or events..I am not the type that thrives on the thoughs of others as a lot are.The only one I care about is the one I am with.I am 6ft tall and 220lbs but height isn't an issue to me.I try to be health minded for myself.I respect a lady that trys the same,it is good for a long life and a sound relationship.Even just friends careing for ones health keeps life going on....
