I am a kind, generous, self assurred, easy going per who is looking for the same general qualities in a lady. Mutual respect, which is earned and given, never demanded or taken, is a must. I am hoping to find a best friend and partner, someone with shared interests and goals, someone who can also laugh at and accept our differences. Enjoy going out, dining, movies, theater, walking, trying new things. Like to hold hands, putting my arm around a lady at the movies or on the sofa, give sweet little kisses in public. I enjoy cooking, most of what I cook is edible but do have flops from time to time. Favorite reading material is fantasy and historical fiction and just about anything else. Enjoy football, college and pro, and then there is March madness. I have a lively sense of humor, enjoy laughing and joking. I also enjoy talking about, debating (?), current events. We don't have to agree but we must respect the other's views.

My Ideal Person I am looking for a long term relationship, and am looking for a lady who WANTS the same. Not someone who NEEDS a relationship. A lady who is willing to work as a team towards common goals. A lady who will express her wants and needs and will allow me to do the same, all done with civility and respect for your partner. As Dr. Phil says I guess I am looking for a soft place to land and am offering the same.
