I'm a father of two boys 10 and 14. I have a great relationship with my children, they are very loving and wonderful people to be with. I don't just make time for them but make them a part of my life.
I am a friend to most people I meet. I have no issue with talking to a stranger. I don't have to be the center of attention but I'm definately not shy. I consider my self to be compassionate and loyal. I am stable and have direction in my life. I like to do an assortment of activities on the weekends. I don't have an obsession with any hobby or sport.
I like hiking, backpacking and camping in the cooler months. I love sitting by a fire, having a drink and relaxing. Any other time I would rather be in, on, or near the water. I like fishing, snorkeling, canoeing and just watching the waves roll in.
I like to play tennis, not good but enjoy playing.
I like to find local places to explore, just driving the dirt roads in the forest can bring new ideas for camping or even a short hike.
I enjoy cooking. I like working in the yard. I like to travel, but I am always glad to get back home. I love to fly. There is no greater freedom or more beautiful way to see the world than in a plane.
There's more that I like but that's enough for now.

I am looking for companionship wiht the hope for love and a future. I have been married once for fourteen years. I am not into open relationships or the party life. I am loyal and trusting, I want to be with someone who has the same ethics. I am looking for someone who can appreciate an evening at home cooking dinner, and also enjoys being active on the weekends. I do like to sit under a blanket watching a movie as much as I like to hike in the mountians or go tubing on the lake.
I believe that communication is very important. I want someone who can share thoughts, dreams and feelings honestly.
I know what I want, I wonder if she exists.

A first date should be enjoyable for both people. Whatever we do should be in an enviroment that we are both comfortable in. I don't like the loud clubs, at least not on a first date. A quiet oyster bar, a walk on the beach or park or dinner in a nice atmosphere. I would love to learn to dance, so if you want a good laugh, teach me.
