What am I looking for? A man who knows who he is, is kind, tolerant, shares my values, and is willing to get to know me. Actually not asking for a lot, just real! I am proud of my family, but lonely for a companion to share what only a best friend and lover can share. Who am I? I live in my own home, am retired. My youngest daughter, 36 currently lives with me. I have grandchildren many weekends, holidays, non-school days. My visiting grandchildren range in age from 6 to 15, but lol, that is not all inclusive! Music is important to me, and I listen to a wide variety of music but enjoy old country and bluegrass the most. I do not like rap! I'm going to CMT Music Fest in Nashville in June, lol, currently alone and camping, lol, KOA. I have tattoos! Love, on the inside of my left wrist. The rest, well you need to get to know me to see those. I ride an 07 HD Sportster, enjoy riding (go tell), fishing, camping, cooking, going to a movie, yard work and am open to new experiences. I love to laugh! But I do know how to be serious. I can take care of myself, though money is tight, but would enjoy time spent with a special someone. I am passionate and compassionate, I like to take care of others, pamper them, but like to be pampered also. I am a physical person, but also enjoy a quiet moment. Friends say I am a good listener, but I am not very comfortable sharing my problems. I have work to do there. Respect, not just personal, but also for the public in general, is important. Chemistry is also important...lol, that is personal! And for me Chemistry happens when I get to know the person, personality, so... no first date conquests.. sorry. Relationships are grounded in a true liking and respect for the person you are with. So--get to know me, we may have something in common.
