Hi, I am a 52 year old, 6' 3", 215 lb., Italian male, with a full head of brown hair, hazel eyes, and an athletic build. I am intelligent, honest, compassionate, affectionate, loyal, a good listener, always ready to learn new things, have a great sense of humor, and definitely a giver. Whew, how's that for a run on sentence. I have a lot of self confidence, and I believe that chivalry is alive and well and pride myself on being a gentleman. I have never been married, came close once or twice, but it just wasn't to the right woman, so my search continues. I have no children, but have no problem being in a relationship with someone that has children. I am a very spiritual person, but I think that spirituality is something very private and I respect everyone's beliefs. I believe in God and in angels, and I am very much into the study of metaphysics. I love to laugh, I also love dancing, concerts, movies, fine dining, good conversation, playing the stock market, and sports. (I like both participating and watching). I work out regularly, enjoy playing golf and eat healthy. I love to travel, but it would be nicer with that special someone by my side to share the experience. The things that turn me off most are rudeness, people who use other people, and people who constantly criticize.The woman I have been searching for my whole life is an intelligent open minded woman, with a good sense of humor, who likes to laugh and have fun. I like a woman who feels comfortable in a pair of jeans, but likes to get dressed up now and then for a night on the town. A woman that likes to dance, likes to travel, and last but not least I'd like someone who is very affectionate.. She must be someone that I am attracted to physically, and there must be chemistry. I don't want to sound shallow, but without the attraction and the chemistry it just doesn't work romantically. I am looking for someone with that twinkle in the eye, someone who is secure within herself. The type of person that you take to a party, and even though you may not be together, you give her a quick glance from across the room and she immediately knows exactly what you are thinking. I want a woman not to complete me, but someone that is a partner, a best friend and a lover. Someone who adds to my life and I add to hers.
