Consider my profile the tantalizing appetizer that inspires you to contact me and learn more about me. Either my wittiness will keep you laughing or possibly groaning depending on your sense of humor, but never a dull moment. I am the gentlemanly type women say they cannot find nor doesn't exist anymore. The type of guy who holds doors open for women, respectful & nice to everyone from the valet to the mayor and doesn't wish to score a home run or hole-n-one on the first date. I'm the romantic type who believes little things count as much as the big surprises and that actions speak louder than words. Big bonus...I am strong enough to move your furniture without much effort. Lol

My appearance is athletic and fit by participating in a variety of different fitness and outdoor activities and eating healthily most of the time. However, I am flexible enough to treat my body like a temple during the week and an amusement park on the weekends. So if you crave Coldstone, Starbucks or In-N-Out count me in to share in a double double animal style. I know the small things count so I wear cologne, keep a crack team of dental experts on standby and have a closet that consists of more than old t-shirts and ratty jeans. Also, if you need a date for those important functions you dread going to, I'm the type of guy with manners who will talk you up in front of everyone important to you.

Traveling is something that I enjoy and hope to do a lot more in the future. So far I have traveled around the United States and parts of Canada, Mexico, Italy and most recently Australia. I feel blessed that I have walked around bustling downtown Chicago, seen a football game in person at Notre Dame, done a bike tour of Sydney with my kids, gone hiking through the beautiful Italian Coast, jogged my way around Vancouver and played some of my best golf in Mexico There are so many more destinations I want to visit and experience both here in the U.S. and abroad with my kids and eventually that someone special who wants to discover for herself what an amazing world we live in.

I don't have a type for looks and feel like I am the luckiest guy in the room whether I am with the girl next door or the jaw dropping beauty. I am searching for the reformed wild child who did not entirely lose her wild streak after growing up and becoming a wife or mother. An educated & independent woman to have conversations about the economy, global warming or why heels are so damn sexy even though they are uncomfortable as heck. A woman who successfully balances her career and relationships, is confident and happy because she takes pride in taking care of herself inside and out. If that is you in a nutshell, what are you waiting for? Let's start building new memories together.

For our first date, I plan to rip off the format of every Blind Date episode that has aired.

I will pick you up in my overly impressive car with chrome spinning rims. When you open your front door I will act surprised like I have never seen or talked to you before.

After some chit-chat we will go to some unique place that only a TV producer can set up. Like a fantastic tour of the prop department of a major movie studio. Our next stop will be a weird first date activity like going to a mud spa to spread mud on each other.

Then we're off to the hottest restaurant that has a wait list of 3 months. Weirdly enough, the restaurant is mostly empty and we're seated at the best table without a wait. For everyone's amusement we begin to wildly flirt with each other or become overly critical to one another.

After dinner we will go back your place and one of the following situations will happen. 1)We will awkwardly give each other a good night kiss. 2)Start making out at the front door and then hop into the jacuzzi sans clothes. 3)Try to get one more parting shot about being a lame date.

Afterward, a Roger Lodge impersonator who will pop out unexpectedly to ask each of us about our date.

The likely responses will be one of the following;
1."Ummm... he was/she was very nice, but not my type. Maybe we can be friends?"
2."What a D**K or B**CH" There will be no second date!!
3."I had a great time. I would love to go out with him/her again. What a hottie!"

While my first date idea might be ummm......spectacularly lame, luckily I do have plenty of backup original and semi-original date ideas that don't involve mud spas. Lol
