Can we do without the cliches? Pretty much everybody like walks on the beach and music, so can we just move beyond that?

I'm a successful, fun-loving, guy who loves the beach and all kinds of music. (Avoiding those cliches is easier said than done, I guess). I love when my girl makes me a romantic dinner, and I love taking her out (I can cook, but I don't like to do it). I live right by the beach, so I spend a lot of time down there - reading, walking swimming.

I'm educated and opinionated, but I'll hear anyone out, and if you can change my mind on something, I'll be your friend forever. And if you can't, I'll still defend your right to be wrong.

I'm an entrepreneur, but when I say that I don't mean that I'm somebody sitting around and dreaming. I started and sold one company, and am now semi-retired, but I've got a new one that I might ramp up and sell in a couple more years.

I'm a take-charge kind of guy, and I'm not afraid to step up and make decisions, but somehow I usually manage to take everyone else's desires into account when I do it.

You're sweet and fun and feminine, intelligent and educated. You can carry on a conversation about lots of different things, but you're not so wedded to your opinion that you won't listen to others. You're adventurous, caring, and sexy. You like kids (which is important, since I have two, and they are the the most important things in my life), but you also like time just as a couple, and time to yourself.
