Initially, I am looking for a friend to do things with. LTR would be nice but that takes time and we have to get together to see if we have shared feelings for each other. In the mean time, if you or I do not turn out to be the love of the other's life, I think both of us could enjoy being together and appreciate sharing a movie, dinner, hugs, and other activities that we both like and are good for our soul.
I am a Christian and I take my faith seriously. The greatest gift I can ever give to another is to live a life where I reflect His character and love. Wow.
I have been divorced for eight years and have two wonderful children. Our girls are 11 and 13. I love being a dad and I thank God every day for our daughters. Raising two girls has caused me to strive to treat women with the love, honesty, and respect that I want my girls to be treated with by the boys (end eventually men) in their life. I am also thankful that my ex is such a great mom. I give her the credit for just how wonderful ur children are. We have a good relationship and we put the needs of our children first. Being a father is the best part of my life and is what I am best at.
I do not use drugs nor do I smoke. I have a drink once in a while (maybe two to three times a year) maybe with a romantic dinner, etc.
I pay my bills and I work hard as a social worker (working with children and families). I am generous to those around me. I am a passionate man and I love doing things with people I care about. I count my blessings and focus on the good. There is always something to be grateful for. I am loyal and will support my friends when they go through difficulties. I tend to be forgiving and understanding of people's failures and faults. I do carry some extra weight, always have and most likely always will. However, I exercise five to six days a week at Balley's and I feel great. I am in good health and all body parts are in good working order. I love playing softball and usually play on a couple of teams during the season.
Having children, 13 and 11 years of age, keeps me young and helps me be a little goofy at times. I am an intelligent person and if I lack knowledge about something I try to educate myself about it so I can have a reasonable conversation without sounding like an idiot (although I do have my idiot moments). I can pretty much enjoy anything if I am with people I care about. I read a lot. I tend to read anything and everything. I work in Lacey during the week (a temporary project) but commute home (Everett) Thursday evening or Friday afternoons. I return to Lacey on Sunday evenings. I will continue to do this through December 2008, or maybe until March 2009, depending on the project. I will then return to my home and job in Everett for good. It would be great if I met a local woman and we could do things together during the week and see what happens.
If you are interested in knowing a good man who can be a good friend to you, then I am that man. If you are interested in a friendship developing into a LTR, then I could be that man because I want that too. Time will tell. I have learned to find satisfaction in life and not base it on a woman loving me. Expecting someones's love to make you happy is putting an impossible burden on the "other" person in your life. I am not waiting for that "special someone" for my life to be complete. Life is good, sweet, and meaningful to me right now. I enjoy the life God has given to me and I appreciate what I have. Relationships are voluntary and are meant to be enjoyed. I do get lonely sometimes. I deal with it. Still, it would be nice to be with a woman who I want to be with, while at the same time knowing that she wants to be with me. Life just seems to burn brighter when we are together.
If you are interested in making a connection with me, having some fun, and enjoying whatever our relationship may be, then send me an email. No expectations, no promisies, no games and no broken hearts. Let's just take our time and see where it goes.
Drop me a line if I peaked your interest.
I think meeting anywhere where we can have a quiet conversation would be a great first date. We could talk, get to know one another a bit and hopefully there would be enough chemistry to want to see one another again.
