FATHERHOOD:
Being a father to a beautiful 12 year old little angel is my greatest joy and accomplishment. Spending time with my daughter is a priority for me. I am a loving father and very proud of my little girl. My parenting style is encouraging, positive and accountable with a strong desire to invest my life into my daughter. I want her to be a strong independent and capable lady that can do anything without the help of a man. The relationship I have with my daughter is that if I was never able to say another word to her again, there would be no need for me to say anything, because I make sure she knows how much her dad loves her and is proud of her. I make sure she hears that often. (Our I love you’s are always up to date) Kids are great and if you have children young or raised, I would be just as an encouraging and positive role model to them as my own daughter.

LOVE AND ROMANCE:
I AM a romantic and love to make my lady feel special and appreciated. There is no better evening than a giggling romantic night after an active and fun day with the lady that owns my heart. Yes it’s true a man can giggle but not when their buddies are around and you are not supposed to tell. O-my gosh, I would never hear the end of it….. I believe good communication is the foundation and the key to a relationship’s success. I believe in being open, real and honest with each other and putting each other first. I want a lady that is in a place in her life that she desires to be in a loyal and loving relationship. I love passion and welcome many hugs and kisses given and received. I promise to listen to you and show you that your opinion is important to me. You are a lady that wants to be protected and cherished by your man. We are not only lovers (And love often) but we are a supportive, respectful and encouraging team. As a team, we will build our future together and enjoy the fruits of our labor. O-yes one last thing, you think I’m the best looking guy on planet Earth……. Well, ok that one is optional, but you could humor me.

COMMUNICATION:
I’m very different than most guys when it comes to communication. I want a lady that desires to talk through issues or life’s circumstances and challenges. I need a lady that believes in open communication and is willing to express herself to me and hear what I have to say. When life's challenges happen, I need a lady that can calmly talk through then until we come to an agreed conclusion. I don’t sleep well when we are not on the same page and walking out and not dealing with issues does not work for me AT ALL. Shutting down and not dealing with stuff will only damage us. I’m OK with saying I’m sorry and asking for forgiveness and seeing my own mistakes. Having an ego is damaging to us and I do my best to put the women I love before my own self interests. I want her to do the same for me.

HEALTH & FITNESS:
Staying fit is very important to me and I work hard keeping myself looking the best I can. I’m at the gym 3/4 days a week and enjoy pushing myself and achieving fitness goals. I enjoy cooking healthy food and making good choice while out to dinner. I want a lady that enjoys working out, eating right and is currently fit and trim. Fitness is an important part of my life but it does not control everything I do. I believe in moderation and splurging from time to time on a snack that is not so healthy is ok.

DATING:
I have been in the dating world for 8 years and about 80% of that time, I have been in committed relationships. Meeting someone new is nice but I’m years past ready to find that special lady and love, cherish, respect and honor her for the rest of our life’s. When I’m in a relationship there is no grass on the other side of the fence. I’ve had my ups and downs in dating and I am looking to put it behind me and invest all of me in a special woman I love. I’m fully aware that a loving and special relationship can end and can end at times abruptly. So cherishing her and what you have and not taking her for granted is something that should always be a priority.
