I am a simple man who enjoys the simple things in life. I have a pretty strong sense of right and wrong and I have strong values in life. When it comes to relationships I believe it is important to be honest, true, sincere, genuine and faithful otherwise there is no point of being in there to begin with.I am a free spirit and have a love of life in general. I enjoy laughing, spending time with loved ones, and believe family is very important! I can be shy at first, but once I get to know you all bets are off. I enjoy travelling, cooking, live music, going to pubs with friends, theater, and I love Baseball.. I have a love of nature, such as going on a picnic, camping, spending time at the lake, renting a cabin in the mountains, taking a walk through the woods, moon and star gazing, watching the sunrise and sunset...among many other things. Yes, you guessed it....I am a hopeful romantic....not helpless by any stretch of the imagination...lol. Balance in life is what it's all about. I have traveled a large part of the world, but need to see more. Yet, I love coming home and sitting by the fire with a glass of wine and a companion that makes me feel safe and usually have a smile on my face..I think any situation can be fun with the right person.I am looking for a gentleman, through and through. He must be kind, honest, courteous and fun!! He must enjoy a good balance of going out, staying in, family and friends..am looking for something more long term, I am not opposed to meeting new people near or far. I consider myself to be easy-going, honest and very genuine..I hate liars and cheaters, sweet talkers, those who have no intention of being true to a relationship ... but only to have fun. If I commit myself to a relationship, I am willing to give my all to make it work, will stick by it till the end. I want to build a relationship with strong foundation of trust, honesty and love .... with the right person, I know I am all set for life....My past relationships have taught me so many things. First make God head of your life and be friends to one another never lose sight of what is important to you and your mate. Second never stop communicating with each other never let anyone nor anything come between you and your mate for if you truly love and care for them there's nothing too big nor to hard that the two of you can't talk nor work out with each other and always pay attention and listen to your mate because every day that God bless you with is special don't wait until a set day to show your mate what they mean to you.Third never go to bed mad life is too short to sweat the small things plus making up is much better and healthier for you.believe me it works and last but not least never let a day go by without telling and showing your mate how much you appreciate and love one another never take one another for granted keep the romance going for the same thing it took to get them hook it will take the same thing and then some to keep them,Kiss slowly,Love deeply,Forgive quickly and life is to short for me and you to be disappointed any longer.
