I just moved back to Springfield after living in Kansas City for 2 years. Most of my family and friends live here, so, I came back. So, now that I'm here, for what looks like the long term, I'm also looking for a long term relationship. My main hobby is cars and racing,but, I'll try almost anything once. I love cooking authentic italian food. I'm just a guy who want's to look back on my life, one day, and know that I did all I could to improve my life and the lives of those I care for. Above all, I just want to have fun. Life is too short!

I think a good first date is two people talking, getting to know each other, over a good bottle of wine. You won't get the dinner and movie 1st date from me. While there is nothing wrong with that kind of date, I want to get to know the person sitting across from me. No pressure, no worries, just a good time getting to know a new person.
