I would like to meet a sincere, unencumbered, normal woman for dating and possibly more. I do not drink due to my affliction with diabetes, but do not mind at all if you are a social drinker.

I strive to maintain my physique as best I can by working out 4 to 5 times a week. That’s my personal preference, plus it’s beneficial all the way around. If this is your thing too, even better, we’ll have a common interest.

I live within my means. I am a divorced father of two and will continue to pay support on one child for another 5 years or so depending on how much college attended in the future. I budget, and attempt to be frugal.

I keep a clean place. My surroundings are important to me. I cook, clean, and take pride in what I own.

I am a great conversationalist with opinions on topics current, and generally of interest.

I enjoy going to movies, most types of music, and weather permitting, enjoy the area when possible.

Honestly I am not the best of dancers but do forgo my self-consciousness and do my best. I prefer a good slow dance. It is one of my goals to find a partner with the patience and time to accompany me with learning some two-steps, and a few moves for swing dancing.

I do not favor body art and don’t find tattoos attractive at all. Sorry just a personal preference.

I possess good manners and will never offend or embarrass by “making a scene, or fool of myself”.

I do not like to argue, delve into the facts of why this relationship or that one didn’t work out, and I don’t care to know why your single. In my opinion, we’re all here because we’re single, or single again. The past is the past and if you are hung up on that, take the time to heal before you head out into the dating world. Frankly it’s none of my business as to the details of your relationship's demise. Honestly it’s a no no and a turn off. Get me?

I’m not all hung up of your career status either. I seek my equal romantically. So if you are pushing your own wake, head’s above water, great. I don’t want a relationship where monetarily either of us is struggling.

Physical features: Who doesn’t have a preference on this? We all do. Consequently I find many things attractive on many women. Overall it’s a chemistry between two people, not so much a fitting expectation, or shallow criteria with me.
I’m not a shy person. I will and can talk to just about anybody. I’m a faithful person, religious, and find this topic interesting as well as one of my needs. And speaking of my needs, I want a good relationship. I don’t need one. I am content with myself but respectfully seek an exclusive thing. The word courtship best describes what I desire. Basically it’s a length of time where two mutually attracted people can take the time to learn about each other, their mannerisms and see where it all goes. Through experience I find that rushing a feeling or pushing forward prior to really knowing that person doesn’t work.

I like kids, but don’t want anymore. I’ve learned that age has nothing to do with maturity. And I don’t do drama or have the patience for games of jealousy, or dishonesty. I operate on the premise of; say what you do and do what you say.

Good luck to everyone, and thanks for reading.
