I'm 43 but look much younger. I love being a father and like spending time with my little girl. The water and I will forever be tied and that is the place I like spending my time. I live a great life and would like to make friends that are happy and like to have fun. The girl i'm looking for should have a job but not be defined by her work. She should love to hold hands and care about others more that herself ( this is more rare than you think ). She should be over the NEED to be seen and be able to hold an intelligent conversation. She has to aspire to wake up with the same person forever. In return she will find in me a man who understands what being a man really is. A guy who doesn't need to be an ass to prove his strength because he knows real strength comes from self sacrafice and allows for caring, understanding, and compassion. I guess I'm looking for someone interested in being half of a pair who likes the idea of the life that promises. I'm an engineer by masters degree but also have degrees in psychology and political science. I'm looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. That being said I'm very picky. I want someone who is pretty without having to try. Who's real beauty is from who she, is not what she is. I want a girl that is happy most of the time and who sees the world as a fun place not someone who's been beaten by it.

First dates are so much more fun when they are not in a movie or a crowded bar. I'd rather have dinner in a nice place where you can just get to know the other person.
