I have been married & know the pain of divorce. Not looking for one night stands. I am a giver, creative, very loving, affectionate, & passionate. I believe that ultimate intimacies should be reserved for committed relationships & marriage.

I have a strong faith in God & am a Christian. I have gone through some tough times in my life, & could not have made it without His help. I am looking for friendship first, possibly leading into a deeper, long lasting relationship. I tend to be very open & trusting, wanting to believe what someone says is the truth. Unfortunately, this has allowed me to be very vulnerable & be deeply hurt in the past.

What I am NOT is a Hollywood leading man thinking he is God's gift to women. Nor am I a heavy metal rock star with body piercing & doing drugs. Sorry, but if your looking for a bad boy to reform, I have not done any jail time either.

I also am not a man of steel who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, nor stop bullets in mid air. My appearance? I am Caucasian, have a well trimmed beard & mustache, with brown eyes. I turned prematurely gray when I was in my 20's. In the past I was told by quite a few I looked a lot like Kenny Rogers, although a wee bit younger than he.

What I am is an ordinary guy looking for a very special lady who can accept me as I am. I neither smoke, drink or do drugs, & would like someone that shares the same values, if possible. In turn, I would like to become the best friend she ever has had.

I am President of my own small firm. Have founded & owned several businesses in my lifetime, including a computer software & book firm, a small group of electronics stores & owned several radio stations.

Having sold my other interests, I am presently in the process of starting to write for films as a screenwriter, a dream I have had for years & now have the time to pursue. I love animals & own two dogs who are my "at home" children. I also enjoy woodworking, & dining out, discovering new restaurants & trying new regional foods. I am an incurrable romantic, believing that dreams can & do come true!

I love most types of music, except Rap & Heavy Metal. Music is an important part of my life. Since I write for independent films, I have a great passion for movies, good movies. I love going to the movies, or just staying home, popping popcorn & watching DVD's.

I have limited time to watch a lot of TV. However, I do try to watch the Fox news channel daily to keep up with the news. When I do have the time, I like watching a great movie on one of the movie channels.

I love to read, always being impossibly behind in my reading the pile of books & magazines I buy to read, yet never seem to have the time to read even a small portion of them. The bible is important to me.

Getting to know me could be the adventure of a lifetime for some very special lady. Are you that lady, willing to step out in faith and take that chance?

My Ideal Person I'd like to meet: The lady of my dreams, perhaps my partner for life. She could have any color hair or eyes, most things physical are superficial & unimportant to me. The most important part of her body, for me, is her heart. That is forever, everything else in physical appearance changes in time. Her age, anything between 47 & 57 perhaps, but probably somewhere in between, even that is not set in stone. Since I am Caucasian, a Caucasian, Hispanic, Oriental or Native American might feel comfortable with me.

Since I am a non smoker, non drinker & don't do drugs, I would prefer someone who shares the same values, if possible. The ideal lady, hopefully would be very loving, creative, intelligent, have a heart for God, be an incurable romantic, affectionate, a sense of humor, adventurous, very passionate & love to laugh & smile a lot, for that is what she would be doing a lot of with me.

For a first date, how would you like to make one of your dreams come true? You choose the date, the place & the adventure of your choice!
