My life centers around family, friends, and my business. I love my career and am so fortunate to have built it into a growing and successful company. I enjoy spending time with lifelong friends and my family in my free time. I love to exercise, get out and do cultural activities, go to fun, new restaurants but also visit old stand-by favorites, and lose track of time chatting over coffee. I am a
deeply caring and compassionate person who values integrity, courage, honesty, and humor. I am often told that I look younger than my age, and I definitely feel it!
I am looking for someone who is really secure in who he is and totally comfortable talking on any subject in the world and who is in touch with and comfortable with his own feelings. I want someone really spontaneous, confident and open. I have found that a lot of men interpret women's feelings as an attack or a threat, when in fact they are just feelings... ;-). I really want to get close to someone and for me that means sharing thoughts and feelings freely on all kinds of subjects. I like intellectually curious people who take an interest in their world, in other people, and in learning new things. I like kindness, empathy, and sincerity. I think that all the sarcasm and banter in a relationship can be fun but can be balanced with sincerity. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you can't take a compliment without blushing, making a joke, or thinking I have an ulterior motive, then maybe we aren't a match? My love language is words of affirmation, so compliments, listening, and supportive counsel about life, the world, and my business get you a very long way with me. And they are cheaper than gifts so this really ought to be a plus, in theory! I am super expressive so my ideal man would be attracted to that and would also be expressive himself. Words, talking and listening are my biggest turn-on so if you think you've got that plus integrity, intelligence and looks, then please send me an email!
