I'm very outgoing from the start. I have no trouble being introduced into new environments, or introducing people into those environments as well. I like to go out and have a good time, but also love having "movie nights", too. Drinking, for me, consists of wine with a good dinner, or a social drink here and there...no crazy, drunk-induced nights out on the town. Sorry, party girls :)
I was born in Texas, lived for 16 years in St.Louis, MO., moved to Breckenridge, Colorado where I graduated from high school, then moved all over the place, thereafter (NYC, The Hamptons,NY., Irvine, CA., Columbus, OH., back to Colorado..this time Denver, then was stationed at Ft.Bragg, NC where I married into a family of four!) I recently was medically retired from the Army, and soon thereafter, my ex-wife and I decided to part ways. We ARE still friends...just felt that it wasn't working out in the end. As mature and head strong adults, we did what we felt was best for us and her children, by staying friends but looking towards new horizons :-)
Just a side note: I went from teaching kids to joining the Army. Completely different ends of the spectrum! However, the Army is paying for me to finish up college and get my Master's in Human Sports Science. So, it's not too bad of a payoff, I guess :)
I have always been a very athletic person; it's just the way I was raised...less tv, more PT (physical training). I competed internationally in baseball growing up as a youth, competed in freestyle snowboarding during high school, trained with the 82nd Airborne of the US Army and deployed to Iraq with them, and now am a professional fitness model and WBFF Male Fitness Model competitor!! So, if you're not all that into fitness, the outdoors and such, and being active, we probably won't mesh too well :)
My ideal match would be someone who isn't afraid to take adventures, who is active, yet also can relax when the time is right (ie- movie night) AND, is willing to take a relationship slowly...remember, I just got separated from my ex wife not too terribly long ago. This doesn't mean that if the right individual comes along and fate plays its role, that I will not entertain a long-term outcome. however, I would absolutely LOVE to build a strong friendship with said individual first. She should be confident in herself and never need others approval that she is a great person. She should also be focused on her goals in what SHE wants to accomplish in life, rather than worry about what others around her think. Other than that, I'm pretty much open to exploring any other aspects which make her unique...I'm not too picky; I'm just waiting for the right one to come about. Building a friendship is a MUST for me, before jumping into anything too serious. I'm getting too old (I know, I'm only 30...blah blah) to go hit on women at bars, so please save me from this debacle!
