Ladies, "It's not the men in your life that count, it's the life in your men!" I am a passionate man, particularly about my relationships with family & friends. However, a partner relationship must transcend all others - period.

Ironically, the courtship process has reinvigorated my life. I try new things & fully appreciate my interests... Traveling ANYWHERE, dining alfresco, Impressionist painting, shiraz, DARK comedy, surprise kisses, making children laugh, Spring flowers, museums, theater, campfires, outdoor concerts, ocean surf, starry nights, spooning, danc'n with strangers & becoming a better person... that's you becoming better - not me.. :)

OK - the stuff you REALLY wanted to know! I was separated & then widowed - no kids or crazy Ex's. Clean of tatoos & a criminal record. My education includes a MBA... without the attitude :). I lied about my height @ 5'11" as I am 1/2 inch shorter. I am financially secure and not looking for a Sugar Mommy. If you have children they should be 16 years old+. I am 100% emotionally available & look forward to committ to the "one." I to I DO "live" my philosophy of Carpe Diem & I am not afraid to splurge on good food, music & experiences.

Other than my obvious resemblance to George Clooney, people generally notice my warm nature and sense of humour. They don't always appreciate the later, but they will notice it. :) I attended a one week seminar last autumn and towards the end of it a new colleague described me as such: "You are a guy who enjoys being himself and is comfortable in your own skin. You certainly are a bit 'out there,' but you are genuine, fun and don't really care if some folks don't like your personality & style. That is what makes you very attractive indeed." Unfortunately, this insightful lady was married. :)

My MBTI is ENFJ. I have been told I experience love "differently" than others & I am intent on developing THE Relationship without being "clingy". I am NOT a plain vanilla kind'a guy & although I always strive to be a gentleman, I do have a mischievous charming streak. If the idea of warm kiss on a crowded Subway platform scares you... it's time to hit the "close" button... because I just hate getting pushed off those things... Subway platforms, that is... :)

I am particularly fond of North American travel, but I am returning to Europe to conquer some more pubs & I am open to suggestions... if you will hold my hand when the plane takes off. :) My favourite places include Chicago, NYC, Paris, Dublin & the US Southwest. I am also passionate about LIVE concerts and music festivals - Rock, R&B, Soul, Funk and I am a bit embarrassed to say, but Disco too. I LOVE to dance! I have no problems being the first one on the dance floor... and the last one off! I am a Warrior Shopper and can hunt down the best deals. I enjoy cooking, especially on the grill... can you say "Killer BBQ"?

Dr. Phil's Love Smart is one of the better books I have read. The best line in the book states, "Every hour of every day you are either building your relationship or contaminating it." There are no neutral actions when it comes to relationships. Ongoing communication is essential. Yeah, it sounds so simple, but it is NOT easy. Interestingly, it is not usually the things that couples discuss that become problems as communication actively resolves these before they become big, "unmentionalbles" - the elephant in the room! Those ones destroy relationships! Honest communication CANNOT exist without it being VERY open.

I am no stranger to Internet dating and strive to treat everyone as I like to be treated. Consequently, I will endeavour to do the following:
1) Respond to ALL Requests for Communication
2) Not break off communication without some effort or explanation.
3) If you decide to discontinue communication or dating with me you can expect to be treated with the UTMOST respect. You will not be stalked... even if you beg! :)

Honesty is important to all of us. From my pics you can tell that my weight fluctuates. :) However, I am doing the exercise and diet thing. The goal is to eventually run a half marathon with my father. He has run MANY of them and has said he would like to do one with one of his children before he leaves the planet. As a result, I am becoming a bit less like Winnie the Pooh. Please "bear" with me. :)

Finally, as an empathetic extrovert, I believe in warm handshakes, enthusiastic hugs & knockout kisses*! *Free samples available! :) "Buckle up Baby & come ride with me"
