Be bold, be brave, be forward, tell me what you want. If you're interested, just say hi, and let's start a conversation and see where it goes. Or we could throw caution to the wind, get married and make a go of it? Let's dance in the doorway when I meet you, stare at each other and say nothing, or hug me tightly and tell me something sweet. I'm here for something real, not games or chat buddies. My time is is just as valuable as yours, so please don't waste it. We only have so much time on this earth.

I am a kind, caring, loving, affectionate, adaptable, outgoing, fun, creative, open minded, happy, educated & considerate Man. I try to engage in active listening because every woman wants to be heard and seen by her partner. It's amazing what a man can accomplish with a good woman by his side and who both share the same vision for the future. I love adventure, I love trying new things, I love being exposed to new ideas, new ways of thinking, new thought processes, and certainly believe in open and honest communication in a relationship. I'm looking for a woman who is looking for a long term, committed relationship with possible marriage in the future. A woman who will add value to my life, meaning you will enhance it in a positive way and not detract from it. A woman who is open minded, has a good heart, likes to laugh, (can make me laugh, be silly, it's o.k. to act like a kid sometimes), date nights, day trips, good times, dinner, movies, Art, creativity, intimacy, Hiking, biking, walking, running, exercise, swimming, adventures, making life memories and not worrying about getting gifts or stuff.

I have a good job, with a good income, good benefits and retirement. I want a woman who realizes the value of 2 incomes versus 1. Who knows that 2 people working together are stronger than 1 person working by themselves.

I want a woman with energy and can keep up with me. No stress, no hurt feelings, Lots of kindness, lots of hugs, lots of kisses, making life memories, having life adventures together and let's see where it leads us. Ideally I'd like to get married again, but need a woman who understands I'm a Dad and a package deal. If you want to meet up and go to the Pool, go for a coffee, hot chocolate, tea, bike ride, going to the pool, an early morning hike let me know. I love going to the Pool in the summer time and I would love to spend days by the pool with you.

We can also go to fun things like bowling, I'd love to try kayaking / paddle boarding this summer, I'd love to go out to Colorado to hike the Manitou incline, Omaha is fun, Worlds and Oceans of Fun (Water slides are awesome) the St. Louis zoo and Arch is not too far away. Let's encourage each other to dream about things to do, support each other and lift each other up by our words and our actions. I like to listen to music, old school late 80s early 90s Dance Rap, R&B, and I also love 90s alternative music. Something that keeps my body moving and dancing to remember.

I have a Masters Degree, I love to travel, I've been to 26 states and 5 countries. I love weekend getaways and would love to do more international and stateside travel. Car trips are fun, I don't mind flying, but I want to see everything around me. I love culture, theaters, language, First Fridays, Art, Photography,  and meeting new people and hearing their story. Food is not my thing. I eat to live, not live to eat. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Without giving all of myself away and leaving you time to ask me questions. If you're interested please message me, let's talk and see if we have a connection.
