I am looking for a loving, caring, optimistic, mature woman that is ready and able to be involved in a committed long term relationship. When we look at one another across the room we will see the love in each others eyes. When we hold one another we will feel the love in each others touch. The words we speak will be of love, respect, and understanding. We will take care of ourselves and each other both physically and emotionally. We will participate in some of each others hobbies and interest while understanding that we will each need our own space, time, friends, hobbies, and interests. To be with me, and for me to be with you we must be physically active, absolutely NO couch potatoes. Although we all have some drama going on in our lives it should be kept in check. You must be able to see the silver lining through the dark clouds. If you require a dysfunctional relationship please look elsewhere. I don’t have the time or patience to ‘fix’ anyone. I certainly am not perfect but I am who I am and I don’t want anyone thinking they are going to ‘fix’ me either. I am 5’ 10” man with an athletic build. I like outdoor activities even if it is just getting out for a walk after work and watching the sun set over the western skies. I am a hopeless romantic at heart. I am kind, caring, sensitive, gentle, honest, and loyal. I am also a non-smoker and you must be as well. I am not into long periods of email and text messaging. I think that is a waste of time. You don’t really get to know someone until you meet them in person and spend time together.
