HI, welcome to a little about me and a few "real" pictures. Please take the time and read the whole thing. I love the ocean/water and anything related to it! I know honest pictures are a big deal for internet dating and lQQks are a big thing in this area, so my main picture is recent and I am a 36 waist lol. I am told I am much better face to face, however, you be the judge! More important I am a down to earth, confident, a caring person and a great family type man. I certainly talk and communicate much better face to face. I love to laugh!! In a relationship I am very affectionate, warm and spoil!

This is so corny writing about yourself because you feel like your bragging.

I love family/children/teenagers! I was a Big Brother to two teenagers when I was younger. I am one of 5 "kids" myself. We are very close! Most live around New Jersey/New York.

I am a happy and content person! I am not a "remote couch potato guy" and like to stay active! I am down to earth and very family oriented!! I am a well grounded person, that plays no dating games. I like people who are direct, smart and confident. I do not smoke, and sorry I do not play golf :). I love to travel, cruises!!, day trips and in time, plan to do more. I am thankful that I have had the chance to travel to all 50 USA states and England too. I spiritual, believe in God and a member of a cool church. I am not conservative!

I love to dance, and I am very romantic. I like antiques, collectibles, museums, ride my bike and walk the beach and I am pretty open and flexible. I was born and raised in the NYC area (North Jersey). Most of my life I have lived in Maryland near Washington DC. I am probably no more excited about doing this personal ad then you are, however, I like to be in a solid relationship. I call internet dating, "lazy dating" :), you sit and do everything in your house :). I love dogs and friendly cats. I had a beagle that passed on and wow, was that tough.

I love sports!

I am a better talker about myself, then writing a short essay. You just seem to bounce all over the place writing like this.

It only works if the lady is truly comfortable! The first meeting is all about you feeling safe and both of us going to where WE both feel comfortable. We would easily agree on a place. It would not be a cold plastic chair place that no one around lets you talk to each other!
