My name is Fred, I am just a guy who loves the simple life. I have a great job with a great company. I am probably a workaholic but too busy to notice. I would like to meet new people, & forge some new friendships. I am interested people who are looking to expand their experiences, get out and try some new things. People who are going places and too busy to look back.

Sarcasm and wit are greatly appreciated. Please don't take yourself too seriously, but it is important to me to meet people who are goal oriented and make things happen. If you are someone who needs to have a significant other to be happy with your life, then I am not the guy for you. I am completely confident and comfortable with who & where I am in life but at the same time, really excited about where I am going and who I am to become.

Dreams should become goals, not obsessions. Do not forget to be happy today! For me the only relationships worth having come out of great friendships so its important to me to really build that bond first.

I love meeting new people! I go out often, usually for dinner or random fun but I have distanced myself from the weekend bar scene.

I am a passionate person so if I am with someone a casual interest will not do. I really need to feel a fire to captivate my attention so I do not take it seriously until I find things out that draw me in. Things that I notice and look for are: one who demands respect, morals, intelligence, true honesty, independence, organization, goal oriented, communication, passion, intellectual curiousity, and someone who loves to be challenged. Certainly there are many more but lets not get too far ahead here because honestly if I dont see us being best friends it wont go a step further.

oh yeah, and a southern upbringing is a big plus!

I am an honest man with a morally strong upbringing. I am respectful, a great listener, and will give it to you straight. every day I try to find a way to do a kind random act to be a gentlemen, if only to have something of pride to hold on to as I think socially our society has really lost its manners.

a quiet place for dinner or drinks where we can just talk and just be ourselves. leave some time to be spontaneous should we hit it off and decide to go seek out whatever good times come along.
