There is no blueprint for how to solve one of life's toughest challenges, and that is finding the right person to be with, to provide support for and receive it from. Someone who knows what you're thinking, and how to make you happy...someone you can TRUST.

I'm not looking for any one night stands - I don't play games, and I'm not looking for someone who holds materialism anywhere near the top of their list. I know what I want, and I'm very serious about it. I have a solid profession but I am always striving for more - I run my own business on the side which I also love and both jobs seem more like a hobby to me than work!

I'm at a point in my life where I'm looking for someone with the same qualities as I believe I possess, such as honesty, sensitivity, loyalty, a great sense of humour, and she would have to agree to the 3 most important things in a relationship - communication, TRUST, and cuddling!

I'm no couch potato, but do love spending quiet evenings in front of the fireplace with the right company. I'm told I am a lot of fun - but beware, at first I'm the quiet, shy type....you know what they say!

I love sharing a bottle of wine with good company, and I love trying new foods - it's all about the food, isn't it?

You don't need to be a great cook - I can handle that, as I take pride in my independence, but love cooking with someone as well - that is very romantic to me.

I have a young son and he is my life - I have him part-time but he's part of the package if you want to get to know me (Don't worry, I'm not looking for a Mom for him - he has a good one!) - if we hit it off, you will meet him too! If you have kids, that won't scare me off.

I don't do the bar scene, and don't have many male friends because I choose not to - to be honest the way alot of guys are towards women bothers me...I guess I'm old-fashioned that way.

I'm a Virgo, I love to read, write and play the piano, and I'm VERY big on romance. Family is also very important to me.

I'm a kid at heart (and don't look my age because of it!) and love to have fun - life's too short to sweat the small stuff!

I want to make a woman laugh, smile and fill their heart with love they've never experienced before, because I have so much to give! I believe in chivalry, and taking care of my partner - always.

My pics are recent, and portray what I really look like ;) I know that can be rare in here!

What would I do on a first date? Hmmm..that's my secret - I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I promise with all my heart if I like you, (and it is mutual) it will be the best (and last) first date you've ever been on!!!
