Update: Happy Holidays to you and yours, I am taking a break from the dating until further notice. regards, J



Hello, I am looking someone to date regularly, and have lots and lots of fun with. My goal is to have a romantic long-term relationship with one special woman, that has similar interests and needs for affection/independence. Please have a recent picture posted for me to respond, so it does not feels like games to see who I am talking too. I can tell alot from your eyes and your smile.

I am honest, loyal, affectionate, bright spirited, accountable, respectful, intelligent, patient, family oriented, good natured, quick to laugh, easy going, goal oriented, etc... I love my life, and what I do. I am careful to say what I mean and mean what I say. My (2) daughters are grown up, and I see them and my (2) grand-daughters every week.

I like animals, and enjoy many different hobbies. I like the outdoors; camping, hiking, skiing, beach, kayaking, and body surfing to name a few. I have Scuba gear, but I am not certified... yet. I like the theatre, concerts, plays, movies, just about everything, even ballroom dancing and yoga. I like the Blues and slow rock, Jazz R&B, Classical, and some Country. I'm always up for a good movie at home or going out, either well planned or spur of the moment is great.

I believe in Christ, I would not say that I am religious. I have a lifetime relationship with God and I consider it between him and I. I have a bible and take it to church when I go, and I enjoy hearing the message. Like so many activities, when I go, I would rather go with someone than alone.

I am looking for a "lower" maintenance girly girl / tomboy combo; gets dirty and cleans up great. She loves all animals and nature, emotionally evolved and self aware, and has positive energy. She should be ready, and able, to fall in love, be able to trust, and enjoy all the good in life. She is positive in her thinking, sweet and kind to the young and old. She is calm and cool when others aren't. She is as happy at home, as she is going out on the town, or traveling. Her priority is her loving relationship with her man.

Marriage: I love the principles; however no one should jump into it. If and when taking that step equals more happiness, sign me up! 4 years being single zoomed by... So, until I find what I am looking for, I'm putting in extra "effort". Then, if another 4 years zoom by, at least I can't blame myself for not trying harder. They say "when you stop looking, it happens"; I'm here to say that is not always the case.

I know there are a lot of great women out there, and some will have the same value for a special relationship, as I have. I know I'm not perfect, and I don’t want to find “perfect”. I'm looking for "Perfect for me". Someone who appreciates a really nice guy! If any of this interests you, let me know... Thanks for reading and good luck in your searching. J
