If there is a lady out there, who is seeking a dedicated social dancer with determination to progress in ballroom/Latin/swing, country & western and round dancing, then look no further. I consider myself a mature, distinguished gentleman, who is also outgoing, fun loving and young at heart . To excel at any one persuit, I feel that you have to specialize and I've chosen dancing for that as it is my main form of exercise and social life . Yet, I do also have a variety of other interests and I'm usually willing to try to be receptive to new activities . Since I know that everyone can have various time obligations and other committments, I don't necessarily expect someone to dance as much as I do. If my partner would be at an intermediate/advanced level in dance, that would be great , but certainly not a requirement. In the past, I have paired up with beginners, if we ended up being involved romantically . To be able to find the right woman on here who would be both a dance partner and romantic interest at the same time would be like a dream come true . In dancing, as well as life in general, I pride myself on possessing the ability to be cooperative, patient and pleasant . I feel like a serious dancer will progress better and more rapidly by having a dedicated, steady partner . Besides my desire and enthusiasm, it is my appreciation for and devotion to my partner that sets me apart from others . With all of the physical activity that I am involved in, my build is HWP (Height-Weight Proportionate). I'm tanned, wear glasses and now sport the salt & pepper hair look (although I could go back to my formerly natural brown with a little cheating ). I don't have any criminal record, debts, problems with ex's or kids, bad temper issues nor habits such as smoking, drugs, gambling, etc. Staying in good shape and leading a healthy lifestyle are important to me. After viewing a number of profiles and reading between the lines, it is hard not to come to the conclusion that the majority of people on dating sites are typically looking for someone perfect , or at least close to it. It seems as though most people's perception of their dating prospects are that they are either too much of this or not enough of that. If at all possible, I try to be as flexible as I can. Therefore, I'm not so set in my ways, like a lot of folks. I want to be with just one woman rather than trying to "play the field" . Partnership and teamwork make for a great relationship, even if it is just within the scope of friendship. If you are able to eventually get past the barriers and issues that can stand in the way of romance, then you have what we are all looking for - .

Rather than trying to plan a formal "first date" at this point, I think that it is important to first converse by phone and then meet in person for just a casual visit. We'd both have nothing to lose with meeting for coffee, or a Coke, for a little while. Instead of judging totally on first impressions or trying to jump into romance right away, I believe in getting together as just friends first and then eventually deciding if there is potential for more. By proceeding slowly, there's less stress, pressure or expectations . Should there be enough mutual interest to lead into being an actual romantic type date later on, we can discuss our options when the time comes. I put long term as to what I am eventually seeking, but I realize that comes after friendship and dating as the final part of a step by step process.
