I think I have finally grown up enough to be comfortable with finding that special woman. It is not that I was childish or immature before, just didn't think I was mentally ready to share my life with someone else. Now I am comfortable with myself and am ready to try to find that woman. I have not been married and have no children because my job has taken me away from home for long periods of time in the past. Those days are over. I am quite flexible and adaptable to most situations. I don't have my heart set on remaining in FL but you never know what might happen when you meet that special person.

First date is just something to break the ice and meet another person to make sure they are for real. It can be as simple as meeting at the grocery store to say hello and shake hands or get a hug. I don't consider that a date, but once you meet in person, the date can come next time.
