Aug 30 at 8:19 AM “ Laid back yet hard working man, trustworthy, honest, caring, sensitive to the needs of a woman. I*m open-minded, don*t like arguing and fighting. I enjoy chess ,card games, sporting events, church, social gathering , and dancing .I also like fishing, bowling, some cooking , quiet moments in front of a fireplace , and cuddling while watching a movie, walks along the beach, afternoon drives , love jazz , and I love outdoor concerts. I desire a woman that is true to herself, committed to one man, who knows the meaning of happiness. One who does not need a man to defy who she is, yet knows she is beautiful , confident, and knows her own strengths. Relationships of any kind takes time to develop . I am a firm believer that love , respect , trust , and friendship is earned and not given .My goal for this ad is nothing short of an extraordinary relationship. Friends would describe me as committed, respectful and kind. I know the difference between what is right, what is wrong and just would desire a partner with the same values. I am comfortable with myself and could be described as old fashion gentleman. I am looking for a partner to share an absolutely amazing life with. Days filled with fun, love, hand holding, whispering in each other*s ears, ***y text messaging, lazy mornings in bed, afternoons in the sun, evenings under candlelight. I desire a partner with whom I am mentally connected, physically attracted to and above all is my greatest friend. I appreciate substance over things that don*t matter, values over ego and kindness and humility over being right. I prefer being a couple over being single and look forward to bringing happiness and completeness to my mate.Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treats you right, forgive those who don*t and believe that everything happens for a reason, if you get a chance, take it, if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, just promise it would be worth it.
