DO not LIKE me. Message me please if you want to actually talk. I will not respond to people not within driving range, and of course am not going to send you money if we not even met yet. I am not here to waste anyone's time. I want us to get to know some important basics and then meet ASAP. No weeks on end chatting with no plans to meet. I am a hopeless romantic looking for a forever love. I am seeking a partner who shares my values and beliefs, including my Christian faith and conservative views. I am a father of three teenage children who do not live with me, but I am committed to being a good parent and spending time with them. I value deep conversations, intimacy, and romance. I am a very physical person who enjoys holding hands, cuddling, and being close to my partner. I believe in constant communication, honesty, and truth, and I am not interested in playing games or being in a non-monogamous relationship. I have some dealbreakers, including tattoos, piercings, smoking, drinking, and dishonesty. I prefer someone who values a sober lifestyle, dresses modestly in public, and is committed to our relationship. I am not interested in someone who is seeking a life of financial comfort and wealth. I enjoy simple activities like coffee, pizza, bowling, and movies, and I appreciate the little things in life. I am a homebody who enjoys quiet, relaxing times, and I am careful with my finances. No long-distance, frequent travelers, or those living/working abroad. We should be able to regularly spend time together in person to build a lasting relationship. Occasional travel is acceptable, but I am not interested in someone who will be gone frequently or permanently. *Not to say I will not travel with you, money and time permitting, but I am not looking for someone who will be gone a lot. And if we start talking and you have to fly out of state/country all of the sudden, we done.
