Basically, I'm a nice guy and a great dad with an incredible sense of humor. I also somehow manage to be simple and intense at the same time. I haven’t figured out if that makes me Intensely Simple or Simply Intense?
I said I would tell you later about having or wanting to have kids. I currently live alone, I have 3 daughters, and all 3 are in college (Cal-Poly, Pepperdine and NYU) and when they are in town they stay with their mom. Under the right circumstances I would consider having more children, I love kids, and coached girls basketball for 7 years. One of the proudest moments of my life was when my second daughter was voted “Sportswoman of the Year” in 2010.
I am really excited about the future, because with each new day comes new and exciting opportunities. What I enjoy the most is being surprised, Good surprises I enjoy a little more of course, but being surprised is a very strong indication that I am alive. The only thing that would make my life any better right now is finding someone to share my enthusiasm with. Life is good, but I truly believe the best has yet to come.
Would you be remotely interested in trying to do this the old fashioned way? Maybe we could pretend we met at a social function or through a mutual friend. Do you remember when going on a date was exciting? I remember writing myself a little note with the questions I wanted to ask, like what's your favorite movie, music, book? And why are they your favorites? What is the scariest thing you have ever done? What is the funniest thing you have ever heard or seen?
These are things that we want to talk about when we are on a date because of how they made us feel . When someone asks us about them, that feeling comes back to us and then we share those feelings with each other. Those good feelings that we share about what we love most in this world cannot be conveyed on a dating website profile.
Over the last 6 months of online dating I have not had this conversation once and I really do want to know what why and how you chose “Milli Vanilli” to be your favorite band or “Leaving Las Vegas” as your favorite comedy.
If you want to bring some excitement back to the first date experience let me know the best to contact you (that would be the traditional way) and let's plan a date together, maybe a cup of coffee, dinner, go for a bike ride or just hang out at the beach, but I would like to learn more about you by having a conversation in person. You are not a book and neither am I and I would prefer to see, hear and feel your words. How about you???
I look forward to hearing from you and writing myself a note, I really do.... ;-)
Sincerely,
Rick
