Currently I am not active here.
I am a pretty traditional guy. Some would call me old school. Living life and loving who I'm with is very important to me. I wear my heart on my sleeve all of the time. People who know me best would say that i will do anything for them, that I am a caring, giving person. Relationships are what drives us, and holds us together. I love knowing that I can depend on my friends and familyfor anything, and that they can depend on me. I want that same attitude from my partner. I come from a very warm, loving family who are always there for one another whether times are tough or great and I am greatful for all the people that care about me.
I am into a lot of things. Walking on the beach after work, or meeting up with friends just to hang out for a little while and burn the stresses of the day. I was moved as a teenager by a basketball coach with cancer, Jim Valvano. He said "To me, there are three things we all should do every day. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy." Think about that. If you laugh, you think, you cry, thats a full day. And that is my mantra.
On our first date, the last thing I want to do is go to the movies or a crowded loud club. I want to go somewhere quiet and sit and talk to you, get to know you, get acquainted with you.
What am I looking for in a partner? Someone who knows what she wants. Someone who is willing to let me see her at her best and at her worst. Someone is confident but not cocky. I want someone who values her time with her friends and family as well as her time with me and can strike that good balance.
I believe that if you work hard at something, and are kind to people, good things will happen for you. I am very prone to get silly and playful, just as much as I am to buckle down and focus on what needs to be done. But all I really want is to try and make you smile.
