The Character of You is the broad and
all-encompassing definition of who you are
from the inside out, while the defined product
is whatever side you choose to exhibit in a given social situation. Now make no mistake:
After you’ve decided that this is the horse you are going to ride
through the race called life, your entire experience in the social,
dating and creating-a-relationship arena will change forever.


Dating: Rushing is never a good thing. Take time to get to know each other, and getting out and being around people, you've got to play it loose, you have got to play fun, don't get in your own way by having these idealistic standards, you are not buying a ham you are going out on a date, okay, you want to get excited about these things. I have and 80/20 rule here, if you can find an 80 percent candidate, grab it, if you can find somebody that is 80 percent of what you are looking for, you need to grab a hold of that and hang-on. You'll get old and gray, your clothes will go out of style waiting for a 100 percent candidate, I promise you can take 80 percent and grow the other 20 in a lot less time than you can find the 100 percent candidate.

I would like to meet someone who has things in common with me. Who likes to have fun, has a great sense of humor and can hold an intelligent conversation. Honesty and trust is necessary. Without trust, there is nothing. (AND I STRESS THE TRUST ISSUE. Meeting someone that is SECURE with himself is very important). And a person that is romantic and very masculine at the same time. I want someone that is VERY PASSIONATE, CARING, AFFECTIONATE, and is a great communicator. I want someone that makes me know/feel that I am with him even if I'm a thousand miles away and when he sees me wraps his arms around me with all his heart. (Yea I'm a girly girl) I want someone who wants to work and play with me. If he is going to a baseball game or golfing with his friends, he wants me to be there too. If he is working on his car and needs help, he wants me to be the one to help him. Understanding ones individual time (space) is a large part of a strong relationship. AND all I can do is HOPE, Hope is a good thing!

About me:

I am independent (no baggage); intelligent; attractive; I enjoy stimulating conversations, traveling, theater/movies or just watching the sun go down while having an evening picnic by candlelight. I cherish a warm & inviting smile meant only for me and I love hugs given like the person has been away for a long period of time and they can't hold you tight enough.

I love summer and all the water sports that go along with it, but scuba diving is my favorite. I find giving freely (volunteer) of your time and heart is priceless, and so, I give by helping deaf children achieve their certification in scuba diving as their underwater sign translator. The smiles on their faces of accomplishment is my reward... I am very adventurous. I enjoy playing and watching sports. I like going to sporting events. I train at the gym 5 days a week and as US Olympic champion in power lifting, I find that the best thing in life for me is a healthy one. However, I do not measure a man by his muscles but by his heart. I love to laugh, have a great sense of humor. I like to fix things and am good at it. I am a total animal lover. I am like the person on the commercial who stops the car in the pouring rain gets out, picks up the scared, cold, wet dog in the road before it gets hurt and take them home or someplace safe.

About him:
I'm ultimately looking for that special someone who's open (says what's on their mind & doesn't leave you to guess); intelligent; honest; compassionate and passionate (enjoys holding my hand, a giver of hugs & kisses and doesn't care where we might be if he wanted to give me that kiss); animal lover; a warm sense of humor and uses it often just because he loves to see people smile. Someone who looks at and treats life as a gift and wants to share with me some of the things he enjoys doing & seeing as well as understands & respects having ones individual time. That special person who is what he claims he is and not someone who wishes he is the person he writes himself to be. I am seeking that special attraction, which one feels from the heart, not easily defined, however loving, embraced once the path is crossed.
