Hi my name is Jay i am not here to play games or b/s around i know what i want and will not settle for anything less,i am looking for a friendship that could lead to a long term relationship,i believe in common courtesy and expect the same especially when it comes to responding to emails from here, i am a single male of mixed heritage, half black and half puerto rican to be precise,Now what i am looking for is a friendship that could lead to something long term and meaningful.I like alot different things from sports both watching and playing, pool, darts, movies, museums, amusement parks, miniture golf, listening to live bands and music especially reggae, comedy clubs and i love to cook which is my passion,I served 17 years in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, which allowed me to travel to over 65 different countries and all the continent,Now the fun part what i am i looking for first and foremost i want a woman who is secure about herself and can survive with or without a male in her life, i also want a woman who would enjoy being with a real true man one who will treat you with respect, honesty and dignity, who will be there for you no matter what,so if interested please drop me a line

my ideal first date would depend on the person i am meeting,but for me it would definitely be somewhere that has good food,music and entertainment so i would say somewhere like a sports bar or dave and buster's or maybe gameworks and hopefully if that goes well somewhere we can talk and get to know each other better,and PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT,I know there has to be at least one good woman out there looking for what i have to offer,so please restore my faith.Thank you
