One of the most important parts of any relationship is making the other person’s needs and happiness more, or at least as important as your own, so I’ll talk about who I’m looking for first. I’m looking for an intelligent, professional, ambitious and successful woman who would be sweet, optimistic, positive, and go into each new relationship with an open mind and not run from any feelings that will hopefully develop. She would value monogamy, intimacy, romance, quality time, trying new things and going to new places. Treating herself well and having good health and fitness would be important to her as well. Hopefully she’ll be as physically and verbally affectionate as I am (I like holding hands and sharing kisses at just about any time, though without making the other person feel smothered). I ask for nothing in a woman that I don’t have or would not be myself.
As for me, I could be described as a guy who has his own interests, but also has the desire to make time for a great relationship. I belong to two music/guitar clubs that meet regularly, I play volleyball with friends once a week, I just signed up for a singles hiking group, and starting in May I’ll be taking improv comedy lessons at Second City, just for fun :) I’m also the Chapter Director (an alumni volunteer position) of my old college fraternity. One thing I often hear during or after talking on the phone for the first time with someone from here is that I have a deep sexy voice (a nice compliment that I must admit I enjoy hearing). I also enjoy and have skills with such things as auto repair, building computers from scratch, and have the ability to do electrical, plumbing, drywall, and hardwood flooring repairs/improvements. I’m a bit of an idealist, and the following will give you a good idea of how I live my life, or at least try to:
A man does not need to prove who he is to the rest of the planet - he already knows who he is and that is enough.
He takes pride in his appearance, as it is a reflection of the man within.
He keeps himself mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for life’s challenges, be they great or small.
He has grace under pressure and does not panic in a crisis.
He is kind to animals and children.
He is well educated and well read.
He keeps himself and his property neat and clean.
He does the right thing, even when it is more often the more difficult thing to do.
He prepares for his and his family's future.
He keeps the best interests of his spouse and family above his own.
He stands up for and defends himself, those that he loves, and the possessions he has earned.
He shares his feelings with those he cares for.
He does not abuse what power he may have over others.
He immediately owns up to his mistakes and does not hide from them or hide them from others.
I do have to add that the status of "never married" is the most accurate fit in the list of selections available. I did have the title of "husband" for a time, but due to a circuit court annulment, the marriage never legally existed and I'm not divorced. I go away with the experience and lessons of a married man, without technically ever having been one. I have a very emotionally and mentally clean slate, and still look forward to taking larger steps in life and being a happily married family man no less now that I did before.
Every date is different, I tailor them to fit what I think my date would like best :)
