I am a gay, professional man interested in eventually meeting a man for a monogamous, loving, caring, and honest relationship.

I am a man who has a goatee, glasses, 2 earrings in my left ear, non-smoker, social drinker a few times a year, and don't use any kind of illegal drugs.

I have a full time job, a fairly new car, and own a house. I am not looking to be a Sugar Daddy or to support anyone. If I chose to pay for things, it is because I want to. It truly bothers me when my generosity is taken for granted and is something to be expected.

I am "out" to most of my friends, and if someone were to ask of my sexual orientation, I would tell them the truth, and not lie. I am who I am, and I'm not looking to go back into the closet for anyone. I don't flaunt being gay, nor do I use terms such as "girlfriend" and snap my fingers together. That is simply not my style.

My interests include travel / day trips, fine dining, star gazing, reading poetry and trying to write my own, walking the beach, camping, renting movies, going to theaters, gardening, growing orchids, home projects, theme parks, surfing the Internet, my space (flbearhugz), East Coast MCC ( www.eastcoastmcc.net or on my space (eastcoastmcc)), learning of other cultures and believes, interesting conversation, my children (puppy and 2 birds), and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I'm looking to seek other gay men / lesbians for friendship to create new lifetime memories and adventures.

As far as relationship goes, I am monogamous and not looking for an "open" relationship, or to share my man in any way. I'm pretty much a romantic and a bit old fashioned, and I stick with what I believe in. I am a man who likes to kiss, cuddle, and show my affection to the one I love.

My interest in men is generally limited to intelligent and inquisitive men who are healthy, masculine, communicative, sharing, emotionally mature and sexually adventurous.

It disappoints me that our community treats sex as a sport, rather than a deeper spiritual connection of two people who have developed a strong bond. Of course I like sex, but I am not looking to jump into bed with just anyone. I prefer to get to know more of this man, rather than just have a psychical attraction.

Also I do not want to offend, judge, or sound shallow to anyone, but please understand while I respect the play habits of others, I do not engage in groups, married men, or men attached in any way. I am a romantic one on one type of man. If you are not honest, a heavy drinker, or a substance abuser, please seek to get help and move on in your life.

As one can see from the above, I am seriously looking for new friends and the potential to date. If you'd like to get to know me, you can email me at FLBearHugz@aol.com. In the subject line please put the web site you saw me, so I do not think your email is spam. Thanks and I hope you have a great day. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take Care

My ideal date is pretty simple. I'd like to have a nice dinner overlooking the river or ocean, with lots of great personal conversation, followed by a stroll on the beach. Afterward, we continue our conversation over a drink.
