Ok now...enough with the "I love warm puppies and walks in the woods" thing. I am down to earth, not into drama, and not into people who put words in my mouth, always worried that I am about to give them the "but" word.

I am looking for a solid good relationship with someone I can be totally with and totally honest with. I am not a user, not an abuser, but instead a good loving person who is not into the superficial, not worried about tomorrow because I feel secure in our relationship. I know many here who say whatever comes next, but I know what comes next.

What should come next is getting to know you and all about you and being happy with the result.

I don't look for the much-ballyhooed "red flags" from past relationships. Sometimes, we say the wrong thing at awkward moments, but I don't want to be reminded that that is what the ex said, just as I won't hold it against you. Isn't anyone looking for that real relationship? And doesnt that grow? If you are here for any other reason than the above, don't waste your time.

Life isnt HARD....you go to work, you come home to someone who means something to you, do a little cuddlin on the couch and go to bed. Sounds simple enough, I think We don't need to do all that leaping around that everyone thinks is "fun". I like to have fun, yes, but fun comes in many forms.

A great first date would be coffee or dinner then follow wherever it leads. To SPLAIN THAT, I don't mean an intimate encounter, a booty call, a SERIES of booty calls, or any other such nonsense. I am not here to find a bedmate, a meal ticket, a sugar daddy, or a one-night stand. I am only here for one reason....to find someone who does not want to play games.

I love to talk on the phone with you first thing in the morning and see if I can detect the slurred vowels from the vodka you poured on your Cheerios....listen to the story of how the last 2 girlfriends MADE you hit them....nothin like red flags!

But, if you are normal and do not expect me to be perfect, I am really quite easy to get along with. I work a great deal so I am not instantly accessible, but I will MAKE TIME for you.
