Hi, and thankks for stopping by! Come on in, have a seat and stay a while. Let's talk -- I'm looking forward to getting to know you. :)

I am: A very young, healthy, active and attractive 48, never married/no kids but would love to do the family thing with the right woman. Self employed, very ambitious, creative and passionate about things that interest me (computers, music, real estate, business, coins), church going Christian, honest as the day is long, very genuine, sincere and caring, communicative (I'm an open book ~ ask me anything and you'll get the honest truth, even if it's painful!), and more. Looking for an attractive, slender to average built woman who is (preferably) between about 30 and 42 to be my best friend first, with the possibility of becoming my life partner, confidante, lover and the wind beneath my wings later. I really believe that behind every great, successful man is a great woman ~ and I'm looking for my great woman.

I write songs and play guitar (electric / lead) and used to get paid to sing & play guitar in public as a one-man show when I lived in Chattanooga several years ago. My favorite music to listen to (and play) is classic rock from the 1970s. Favorite band of all time is probably JOURNEY -- LOVE 'EM!!!

You know, I'm really not one for spectacular first dates ~ I'm pretty easy to please, so a great meal at a nice, quiet restaurant works great for me (besides, I don't eat to live, I live to eat!! It's amazing that I'm slender, with as much as I eat... great genes or great metabolism...) I'm also up for anything my date wants to do ~ because to me it's really not about what we're doing, it's more about the company I'm with and the communication between us. Like everyone else, I'm looking for that spark -- that look in our eyes that says "yeah, Baby!" and makes us both look forward to the second date!

IMPORTANT!! As much as I look forward to finding "the one", I'm a firm believer that you have to be friends -- GENUINE FRIENDS -- before you can have any chance at all of being "more than friends". When there's mutual physical attraction, it's very hard not to rush into things, but I think that ruins things more often than not. I value the idea of a lifelong romance so highly that I don't want to screw it up by rushing into anything. However, the flesh is weak, and nobody knows that better than me -- so I'm looking for a woman who feels the same way I do, and will help me/us take the time to slowly get to know each other as true friends before taking it to the next level.

If you're out there, what are you waiting for? Talk to me -- we've been waiting long enough, haven't we?
