I am new to this online dating thing. I am recently a widower. I am putting one foot in front of the other. I have been fortunate to have had the love of my life and been loved by a woman who loved me for me. I am looking to find a friend first and hopefully build into something special. My friends describe me best. I just am what I am. They say I am a person who has lived a life of tremendous highs and lows and gives the best advice to those in the worst of times. What I believe in the right chemistry to find is friendship, communication, loyalty to one another, and find a common ground. My goals are to get back in shape. I have been a caretaker for awhile and want to get back to me. I am an outdoors kinda of guy. I love fishing, camping, hiking, canoeing, and also enjoy sports. I can also enjoy just staying home, watching a movie, enjoying the stars with a good fire. I am a adventurous person as well and love spontaneity. My hope is to find that special person again. If you think you are a good fit please give me a try. I am a southern gentleman with a lot to offer for the right one.
