I'm really tired of the time wasters and game players on here, but I'm sure some of you ladies are just as tired of the same. Are there any ladies left in the world that aren’t suffering from “the-grass-is-always-greener-syndrome”?

I don't have any slick pick up lines...I work hard to live comfortably...and I'm not here to try and impress you. I'm just a regular guy. I am Italian, first generation, so that makes me "very Italian"

I believe in honest and open communication, first and foremost, primarily because I'm not a mind reader. If you’re going to have any type of healthy relationship, there has to be communication as a foundation. I also believe in getting to know a person. I don't believe in exchanging email for months to do so. You have to talk on the phone and then meet at some point. How else are you really going to see if there's any chemistry? I'm not perfect and I'm not looking for perfect, you shouldn't be either. I am looking for someone to do things and go places with, and hopefully become "best friends" with. I would very much like it to turn into a serious long term thing, but you need to start somewhere and be willing to put in the time, as I am.

I suppose I should mention what I find attractive in a lady. I prefer a feminine lady...dresses well, nails and toes done, enjoys wearing heels....not a steady diet of sweats and gym shoes. Let's be real here, there needs to be some physical attraction for a relationship to work, and all the fine qualities in the world aren’t going to amount to a hill of beans if that physical attraction is missing

So ladies, that being said, if your really serious about meeting and possibly finding your mate, drop me a line and lets start with a chat. You'll never know if you don't try. Please, if you’re not serious, just pass me by. Best of luck!!

BTW - my pictures are all recent and I did just recently shave off the goatee and the mustache...but they do grow back

It's about the vibe not the place. Drinks or coffee someplace quiet with lots of conversation and opefully lots of laughing. Let's see if we find that chemistry.
