**** Like the top line says, I'm takin' a break for a while (just closed on a house) but I'm gonna leave the text below for when I'm ready to jump back into the fish pond...

I'm an attractive, honest, sincere, affectionate guy, looking for the same qualities in a lady. I love to laugh and have a great sense of humor. Blue eyes, full head of light brown hair with some gray sneakin' in there too. I eat healthy, have just recovered from surgery, and I'm ready to resume working out to keep in shape. I love the outdoors, especially the beach and the ocean in the summer. Easy going, and don't sweat the small stuff.

I’m not looking for a serious relationship right now. Women looking for their soulmate or Prince Charmimg... too much pressure, I'm not your guy. And "marriage" is no longer in my vocabulary. I’m looking for a lady that would be happy getting together to enjoy what life has to offer a few times a week for now, and not have to see each other or call each other EVERRRRY dayyyy - occasionally, I need some "me time"... maybe you do too? - "clingy" doesn't work... An exclusive relationship? Yes - but not "ball and chain." Someone to dine out with, catch a concert or a comedy club night, go to the beach, go canoeing, catch a movie... whatever we're both interested in. Just bought a two person kayak... Can you give me a lesson or two? If you're a newbie too, are you bold enough to go out on the lake with me?

You're honest, sincere, and NOT into drama or playing head games - I'm tired of that, hopefully you are too. You're comfortable showing affection in public (like holding hands, a surprise "just because" kiss now and then, walking arm-in-arm) and passionate in private. I'm not looking for a shy lady... the woman I'm interested in should be comfortable expressing all those wonderful feelings that a sensual lady knows how to express. She enjoys the attention, affection, and tenderness that I show her, and she gives the same in return. You're slim, slender, or athletic and stay active or maintain a healthy lifestyle. When we cross paths in public, you're the lady that makes me turn around for a second look...

If you're a "glass is half-full" positive person, rarely get upset, almost always in a good mood like I am, and someone who can even see the silver lining in the rain clouds of life, then drop me a line.

I live and work in Salem County and own a vacation property in Cape May County. Ladies within, say... 25-30 miles of either of those locations - If what you've read so far sparks your interest, say "hello" and we'll take it from there...

I borrowed this from a pof friend, I hope she doesn't mind me using it...
"Dating sites are by chance, no one should get upset or angry because they've been rejected or turned down. People know what they are attracted to in a person, everyone knows what they are looking for in their search! Also, don't disrespect someone because it is not you that they are interested in. Everyone knows what they want, need, and like in a person!" I'll add: "You can't make a round peg fit in a square hole" (if the interest isn't there from the start, don't try and force it because one or both people will likely get their feelings hurt in the end).

*** If you don't happen to have recent photos posted on your profile, please be ready to send a few once the communications start between us - I'd like to see who I'm conversing with. Thanks for reading this far, and good luck in your search!

Casual meet 'n greet at a location of your choice, coffee, lunch, dinner, movie - whatever we agree on, play it by ear... If it goes well for the both of us, let's set up a real date.
