I am a professional who is strong, HONEST, faithful, kind hearted, loyal , genuine and hardworking who loves life. I have high standards, am mild tempered and understanding with a good sense of humor, and am a good listener. I love to smile and laugh, am caring, down to earth, opened minded, passionate and affectionate with old-fashioned values and beliefs. I believe in the Golden Rule and in karma. I am looking for a woman who is secure with who she is and shares similar values and beliefs. I am secure in who I am, and am looking for a friend first with someone who likes to have fun and laugh. I am a true person who seeks real relationships whether it is in a date or a friend. I don't play games and am looking to meet someone to have fun with, and if we are both lucky, maybe we will have a spark and meet that special someone. I'm not in a hurry, but am open to more in time with the right woman. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, probably more than I should. Everyone has a past; its called life, good or bad. It's what you do and who you are from that point on that's important. I'm looking for that special woman who not only knows who she is, but also what she wants from life, who is dependable, considerate, intelligent, driven, successful with a sense of humor, who wants to give as well as be given to in a relationship. I am intrigued by confidence without arrogance or someone who can be witty and sarcastic without being hurtful. I take nothing for granted and cherish everything good in my life. I am who I am on purpose, and like the idea of meeting a woman in a similar place.
