****I AM NOT LOOKING TO DATE ANYONE AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST****

It's nice to have someone to share the ups and lean on for the downs in life. Empathy, sympathy, and reciprocity are important. I'm looking for someone who knows where they are going, not afraid to get dirty, and isn't too proud to let the man lead.

I love live music, all sorts of outdoor activities, being with friends, and I certainly don't mind being alone. I'm a straight shooter and have learned to relish the curve balls thrown at us in life. We're only on this planet for a short time. Let's make the best of it.

Friendship is very important to me. My friends take care of me and I take care of them. My two daughters are my pride and joy. I visit them or have them visit as often as possible.

Haling from the midwest, I am pretty laid back, but love the city. I enjoy politics and lean left, but enjoy people with a different point of view as long as they too are not judgmental of others views.

Being new here in Jersey I'd like to get out and have some fun develop new friendships and see what happens. Interested?

I'd love to hear about you.

I'm not much into "dating". I'll take a good friend a bottle of wine or some good beer and a kitchen full of food and utensils. Not that a good night out on the town is a bad thing.

A first date should be taken a step at a time. Start with coffee or a drink and then go from there.
