(((ABOUT ME)))
I’m seeking that elusive, magical spark that we can slowly develop into an enduring and passionate relationship through an open exchange of ideas, expression of feelings and sharing of experiences. Write to me, talk with me, meet with me and let’s see if we’re tuned to the same wavelength. If we are lucky enough to hit it off, let us treat each other with respect and sensitivity as we explore the possibility of a lifetime partnership.
I’m a healthy, fit, responsible and stable guy--physically, emotionally and financially--with a commitment to spending time with people I care about. I am sociable, with a circle of long-term friends who lovingly assure me I am (at last!) open, ready and mature enough to be a good marriage or long-term prospect.
I consider myself a “native” of Tampa, although I was a military boy until the age of seven when my family settled here. At that time, Tampa was a safe place with lots of open space for kids to roam, have independent adventures and invent all kinds of toys and games. My parents were warm and affectionate with us kids and with each other, so I am fortunate to have had a strong model of “good parenting” and romantic, lasting “old-fashioned love.”
I am a curious guy, read for information rather than for escape, and watch educational TV programs, i.e., the History Channel, PBS, Nova, etc. Politically I am moderate and independent; that is, I will vote for the best man or woman, independent of his or her political party. Despite a wonderful Bible college background and strong Christian values, I do not like dogmatism or fanaticism.
Physical activity is important to me: I regularly ride my bicycle, walk and lift weights; I also enjoy tennis, fishing, golfing, boating and snow skiing. I love music, especially jazz.
There is an adventurous side to me as well: I like exploring foreign cuisines and enjoy traveling. I have visited Denver, Hollywood, Manhattan, Moscow, Niagara Falls and more. I have recently bought a 1300-cc Honda motorcycle and am considering starting another business.
(((ABOUT YOU)))
You are intelligent and intellectually curious with a fundamentally optimistic outlook. You enjoy vibrant health (fit and trim) and are perceptive, communicative and expressive, affectionate, passionate and ready for a long-term, intimate and exclusive relationship with the goal of marriage. You openly express your ideas, concerns and opinions, but you are invariably kind and non-combative--you listen to, hear and strive to understand another’s views. You are a responsible person and your life is in order. You have enough experience and maturity to accept nurturing, to nurture in return, and to take pleasure in every aspect of a loving relationship. You maintain perspective, have a sense of humor and know how to negotiate workable solutions to differences of opinion so that everybody wins and the relationship is strengthened.
