Hi, my name is Shawn and I am here for what I would think we are all here for. I am a Certified Counselor and I am the Director of a facility that helps people who struggle with chemical dependency and behavioral disorders.
I am really easy to get along with.
I like people who have convictions, yet don't condemn others for not sharing them exactly.
Be strong in what you believe, but, be open-minded and non-judgmental as well
I am very open-minded. I like people who, too are open-minded. I like confident, flirty people who aren't stuck up, or narcissistic.
Playful, fun, confident, flirty, things like this strike my fancy.
I love public displays of affecton, I would like someone who is the same.

I am here looking to actually GO OUT on a date.....
If you are here for EMAILS only, then please state that on your profile...Thanks!!!

So, I am here looking for that one woman who I can share my life with and who can share their life with me. I want someone who can appreciate this concept. The concept I speak of is the pleasure that people get when they find another who not only accentuates their own life, but that same person gleans pleasure from bringing happiness and joy to another...
I guess this thing is called love, or a healthy relationhip.......LOL......they seem really hard to find......CAN ANYONE ELSE RELATE......HAHAHAHAHA

There is a quote by Robert Frost that really hits the nail on the head: "Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
That is what I am looking for, someone who has this desire......who needs to love and appreciate someone as much as they themselves need it in return.
Yeah, so in other words, if you aren't emotionally available or have too much going on in your life, you probably should'nt be looking for a relationship; at least with me!!!

So, yeah, I am here looking for that LTR, but, I am the type of person who thinks it best to let things of this nature happen naturally.
What I mean is that I refuse to place expecations on anyone.
I am just here to go out on some dates and if that LTR thing happens......GREAT.....if it doesn't, cest la vi.

I say this because I like to have a good time when dating someone. And, its not easy to have fun when people have expectations. Of course, we should all expect to be treated with respect and dignity, that's a given. What I am saying is that if you barely know someone and you place expectations of this type on them you will probably push them away, or push them into something that they aren't sure of.....and, believe me, that will not work.....

AND PLEASE......just because I am the guy and you are the woman does not mean you can't write me first.....LOL.
If you check out my profile and you are interested, please write.....

And, for those who want alot of substance in the emails they receive.....
I am a man of true substance, yet, I am not going to send a novel-sized email the first go around.
If you write me back, then I will add more substance to my emails....

AND, once again, after a few emails and a phone conversation, we should be ready to meet.

Alright Everyone.....Play Fair.......GO FISH!!!!!

Like I said, I am open-minded and attentive to others. In other words, I am respectful. If she is reserved, I will follow suit. If she is wild and crazy, then I'll jump on board. I am easy to please, so dinner or coffee and stimulating conversation will float my boat...
