UPDATE: I've found a lovely little fishie here recently, and look forward to seeing where things go with her. So, no more fishing for me for now, I'm off the market!

I'm a romantic, but lots of guys claim that, right? I enjoy doing the things on a regular basis to show it though, thoughtful surprises, mostly small, sometimes large - want my lady to know she's loved & appreciated. I also believe in chivalry - to me, opening your door, pulling your chair out, leading you into the room with a gentle hand on the small of your back, walking on the outside of the sidewalk - all come naturally.

I enjoy a wide variety of activities (as hopefully you'll notice from my listed interests), and am also always ready to try most anything new that my partner suggests or enjoys. I'm one of those rare guys who actually loves to dance, and have been taking social lessons for several years now. Dance with me? I recently joined a (very un-pretentious and fun) country club in McKinney, and have been enjoying both the golf and the social activities - would be fun to have a partner for both! Sports & concerts at AA Center, music at the Meyerson or Bass Hall, musicals and plays, drinks & live music outside at Obzeet or other venues. Travel - sultry tropical beaches to lounge on (with umbrella drinks), mountains to ski, foreign countries to explore, Vegas to play together. Moonlit swims, suits optional. Eating out, eating in. Cold margaritas on sunny patios. Martinis at elegant bars. A rich red wine with a steak. Gorgeous sunsets over the water while waves lap at our feet. A romantic fire on a cold night, while sipping champagne from the small of your back... Oops, my mind was wandering...

How am I maybe a bit different? I am - and I crave in a partner - someone who's funloving, spontaneous, playful & adventurous - even a little mischievous - a bit of a "partner in crime" to enjoy life with! I firmly believe that the couple who continue to laugh and PLAY together, are much more likely to STAY together, & are sure to have a whole lot more FUN along the way!

I love a romantic, elegant night out together - nice dinner, maybe the symphony, or a musical, or go dancing. But - that fun, playful, a bit crazy part of me - wouldn't hesitate at the end of that elegant romantic evening - to grab your hand and dare you to splash and frolic in a fountain with me - even if we're dressed to the nines! Do you want to enjoy life, laugh much, play often and make lots of memories together? If we happen upon that fountain on a sultry summer evening - would you run through, splash and frolic in it with me (along with some stolen kisses in the middle) if I dared you - even if in your best dress and heels at the end of our night on the town? :-)

Could we be each other's "spice"? Are you ready for life to be an adventure to be enjoyed and savored? I know that's what I want for the rest of my life, how about you?

For the first "meeting", I'd suggest drinks - outside if the weather's nice, somewhere inside if not - a chance to get to know one another. Sorry, but I'm not one of the "interview at Starbucks" type! If there's at least a hint of possible chemistry, with laughter and fun conversation, drinks can always lead spontaneously to dinner to prolong the evening. If we "click", for the first *real* date after that, maybe a nice dinner out, and then possibly somewhere to dance, or a live concert, musical, the symphony or even just a nice moonlit walk.
