Hey there, my name is Gary and I'm recently back from Michigan where I had been for 2 years because of work. Moving was such a great experience because I learned I can build and root my life anywhere. I also learned how much I appreciate NY and all of the opportunities here. While I don't necessarily need to live in NY the rest of my life, I am happy to be home.

Love and life can be simple..I want someone who is happy with herself and wants to enjoy life with the right guy, for her. If you ... just broke up with someone, you are in career mode and question where a relationship places in your life, you have a bunch of exes that are your best friends, or you are a serial dater.. I'm not the right guy for you.

I'm looking for an amazing girl with a fun personality; beautiful inside and out, independent, a little crazy and spontaneous. Chemistry is really important. I also need someone who can communicate her feelings and thoughts and is not going to hold them in until she explodes. Someone who is secure enough with herself and knows how important it is to talk about even the most difficult issues. I guess I'm on here in the hopes of finding a great match.

I love cheese and Italian food..i think i was a mozzarella stick in a former life. my cholesterol is not so good; but we all have our vices. I enjoy just about everything..the beach, working out, sports (playing not watching all the time), traveling, art, all kinds of music. I play a lot of beach volleyball in the summer. I like to cook. I make gnocchi, penne ala vodka, fettuccine alfredo, chicken marsala, crepes..I'm a big fan of good food. I'm not Italian, but I think my genes believe they are. I have small ears. I am tall with an average athletic build, hazel eyes, dirty blonde/brownish hair. I believe everything's possible and I love to be around open people. I'm affectionate. I get excited about the future and making cool plans. I'd like to meet my best friend and lover. A woman with depth, independence, sense of self and heart. She's funny, warm, loving, sexy, intelligent and has a contagious love for life and everything it offers. I'm definitely the kind of person who is motivated by the people who are close to me. I feel pretty lucky to have experienced and done so many different things. I'm interested in a similar kind of person, one that appreciates what and who they have and still wants a life full of new and exciting.
