I’m a generous, spontaneous man who enjoys life but is looking for that special ingredient to make things even better. I enjoy laughing and am able to look at the lighter side of life when things get rough. My two kids mean the world to me. Although one is off at college and the other lives with her mother, I am a dedicated dad and make sure my children know how important they are to me. I’m also good at making my partner feel valued and special. I take great pleasure in spoiling the right woman with unexpected gifts and surprises. After all, who needs a holiday for gift giving?

My ideal match will have a great sense of humor and will be intelligent. It may not need to be said, but it’s important that she be able to have, and continue, a conversation. She’ll feel good about herself and will be confident, attractive, and eager to travel frequently.

Looking for a little bit of chivalry in your life? Do you have a photo posted or are willing to send one? If so, let’s talk. If not don't bother

PS I don't date smokers as a rule, occasional smokers who have a smoke when they are drinking are ok but the pack+ a day smokers are a no go for me. If you are a regular smoker save us both some time and don't bother contacting me unless you plan to quit prior to us meeting.

For the first date I like to go out to eat and get to know one another. I mean you don't have to talk the entire time since you are eating and drinking part of the time. Follow up dinner with a movie or maybe a sports bar for more exchange of dialogue. Gotta get to know each other and there's no better way to do that as far as I concerned short of talking.
