In His Own Words
About Him
"I'm thoughtful, trustworthy, loving, gentle, etc, etc" - almost everybody says those things, it doesn't mean that they are true. That may make me sound like a sceptic but I'm just a realist - actions speak louder than words. I'm not "one of the boys" and I'm not an extrovert so I may come across as shy or rude but I promise you that I do talk a LOT once I get to know you. Unlike some people I will admit that a person's physical appearance catches my attention first but looks will not keep me interested - I've learned that physical attraction alone very rarely leads to a successful long term relationship. Something you need to know is that I'm still friends with most of the ladies I've dated but it's purely because they are good people - it is not a FWB situation! If you've read this far I need to be upfront and tell you that I do have a son who's 27 already(yep you read right). I raised him as a single parent but he has completed his CA and has his own house now - that should explain my answer to the kids question. If you have children that really doesn't worry me because I love being around kids. I've broken a couple of hearts in my life but never on purpose and I've had my heart broken a couple of times (I still don't know which feels worse because I hate hurting people just as much as I hate being hurt). There is no baggage on my side as I've been single for over 6 years now - in fact some of my friends have given me the nick-name "monk" because I don't do 1 night stands either (you can draw your own conclusions about what that means lol). Some ladies find me very attractive and some don't find me attractive at all - We all have our own 'taste'. Hopefully I haven't bored you to death already because I wanted to add that I was being facetious when answering the personality question - obviously everyone has a personality of some sort :-)
About His Ideal Match
Let me start by saying "You don't love someone because they are beautiful; they are beautiful because you love them!" Having said that, let's face the 'ugly truth', it's human nature to judge a book by its cover - physical attraction is the first thing that sparks an interest and then you gauge whether there is also an attraction on an intellectual/emotional level after spending time with each other - That's what makes this dating thing so difficult but the effort is worth it - It's easy to fall into 'lust' but difficult to find true love! YES, I'm a romantic at heart but not in a soppy way.
There is no such thing as a perfect person - We are all unique, but there are certain qualities that are appealing to me - Someone that is funny, intelligent, caring, compassionate, and trusting. Stunning eyes and a gorgeous smile will normally catch my attention BUT if they are also honest, genuine and caring they may capture my heart. I work hard to stay in shape so I ideally prefer ladies that also look after themselves emotionally and physically.
Most importantly I believe the ideal partner is someone who I can share a friendship with and with whom I share a mutual attraction on both a physical and intellectual/emotional level. Mutual respect of each other's feelings is one of the corner stones of any great relationship. I like CONFIDENT women, not in a vane kind of way but in a way that she knows she is beautiful on all levels and doesn't feel the need to grovel at a persons feet. I have some beautiful former girlfriends and friends so I need someone that has the confidence to trust me. The only guarantee I can make is that I never have and never will two time anybody - That is totally against my morals and values!
