First of all, if you put me on your favourites list and I'm not the only one on it, then I can't be your favourite now, can I?! Please do not add me - I'd much rather you send a msg - even a simple "HI" would suffice!
Now, I’ve been reading a lot of lady’s profiles and realized you’re all looking for the same guy! Problem is, he’s met Mrs. Perfect and they logged off a long time ago! All that’s left is the rest of us. If you’re looking for your night in shining armour, look no further – he left with Mr. and Mrs. Perfect. If you’re looking for a good looking guy (my mom still says so!) with a good head on his shoulders, a good and kind heart, and still believes that “Mrs. Right for Me” is still out there somewhere, then send me a message. I hope I find her. If not, I hope I have fun until I do. A wise man (may have been a woman – I hope that get’s me bonus points!) once said, “The journey is just as important as the destination”. What did he (or she) know?! Get me to my destination and step on it! I'll enjoy myself much more when I'm there! I understand it begins with messaging each other but it just seems so impersonal! Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned telephone?!

In case I've forgotten, all relationships begin with dating. If you like each other, here's an idea....go on a second date. From there it becomes a short term relationship. Guess what, if the short term relationship last longer than expected...BINGO....it becomes a long term relationship. You have to learn to crawl before you can run! I don't understand how people can say "I'm looking for someone special and it's got to be long term, or short term, or just friends.....blah, blah, blah" I'd say a relationship is like a child, give him/her love and attention and, with a little luck, you might just end up with more than you ever imagined! Come on ladies, take a chance once in a while!

By the way, in my profile I state that I have an athletic body. No I don’t look like a swimmer. I look more like a football player or a wrestler. I’m 6’1” and 260lbs and fairly built – I’m a big boy. So if you’re looking for Brad Pitt, I suggest you move out to hollywood and start looking. Just to warn you though, I hear Angelina has kicked her share of women’s asses trying to get at him! Be careful.

Also, although my background is European, I was born here in Canada so my profile says I'm Caucasian. I guess you can say I'm Eurocasian. That doesn't sound too appealing does it? I guess it's better than Caucopean. Oh well.

The best way to describe myself is that I'm a blue collar kind of guy working in a white collar world. I'm kind, thoughtful and will go out of my way to help a friend (or a stranger for that matter). I treat people with respect and I ask for the same in return. I'm a mirror - my thoughts and actions are a reflection of how others see and treat me. I'm childlike - not childish. I try to see the good in people almost to the point of being naive (sometimes past that point too). I'm looking for that high-school kind of feeling in a woman. You all know it - back in highschool when you met someone for the first time, the first smile, the first kiss....it made you giddy. I want to feel giddy again! If it lasts a day, a month, longer ..... whichever, I want to feel it again! I'm hoping I can make someone else feel it too ... I'll do my best!

If you send me a message and I don’t get back to you, let me apologize in advance. After all, if you’re looking for someone special and I don’t believe that I’m that person for you, I’d rather not waste your time. That’s not to say I won’t respond, after all I enjoy chatting with women about nearly anything, however if I don’t…well I hope you understand. Also, a picture is worth a thousand words. I‘ve written a thousand and I’ve also managed to post a few pictures. Please show me the same courtesy.

Boy oh boy - I'm full of hot air. If you've read this far, thanks for putting up with my rants - I get carried away sometimes.

Anyway, it’s time to once again cast my line
I hope I get a bite!
Good fishing to all
and to all a good night!

Keep my mouth shut - why ruin a good thing. Just kidding. Most drinking spots are either too loud or have too many distractions. On a first date, I want to get to know the person I'm with - someplace quiet and comfortable (provided my date is agreeable to it). Coffee/tea is usaully condusive to this. If we hit it off, the second date can be something......more!
For some strange reason, I tend to attract 2 kinds of women – those who’d like “intimacy” on the 1st date and those who like it on the 101st date. For those of you in the latter category, by “intimacy”, I mean sex. I don’t mean to offend anyone but we’re all adults and let’s be honest, every guy’s dream is the first group. If I find a woman attractive, I don’t care which group she’s in. The problem is the wrong move can be disastrous either way. I’m being a little facetious but you get the point. After all these years you’d think I’d be able to tell the difference - I can’t. After years of guessing wrong, I’ve developed shell-shock and tend to play it on the safe side. So if I’m lucky enough to go on a date with a lovely lady out there, please don’t take my inaction as being disinterest. I guess it’s just self preservation!
