Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. So here goes. A few things about myself… I am originally from New York, have been here for just over 13 years, and absolutely love South Florida. I have a house on the water, and have the enjoyment of seeing manatees in my back yard. This is a major and welcome change from good old New York City life. I'm full of personality (not bull s...), have a positive attitude, professionally employed, educated, and emotionally secure. I LOVE to TRAVEL and would love a travel partner!(I have been to more then 30 countries, all over the US, and to many islands. I will see the world(Interested?). I am PROUD to say that I just joined the Big Brothers / Big Sisters Association and have recently became a Big Brother to a 9 year old boy. I am Very caring, honest, loyal, love to work hard, and play hard; affectionate, passionate, intelligent, outgoing, sensual, adventurous, protective, love the outdoors as well as the indoors. ABSOLUTELY love the ocean and everything to do with it, including boating (I go out on my boat as often as I can, and with the right person I would certainly go out more), scuba diving, and of course the beach.. I have been riding motorcycles since I was a kid, and I just purchased my first Harley Davidson (care to go for a ride with me?) Love all animals. I love to laugh and do so easily. I am a SINGLE professional man who seeks to meet a wonderful woman who is a great partner and a team player. A woman who recognizes the importance of touch, communication, and just being playful. I am a man who will run out on a rainy day, just to bring some sunshine to your eyes, and a smile to your face, I will always open a door for you, and treat you with respect. I can dress to the nines, or be very comfortable in jeans. Attraction is important! And, if there is mutual CHEMISTRY between us, we will be very happy together. I have a great mom! I helped her buy a house here in Florida, so I am very happy about that. I love her dearly, and she is very important to me.. Family values are important. If any of this appeals to you, and you would like to learn more...please respond. I look forward to hearing from you. It is difficult to describe my ideal match because nobody will probably ever fit someones ideal match. I feel that meeting the person and having good chemisty, intelligence and things in common, is much more important than trying to hold an indivdual to a specific checklist. I would prefer someone that is fun loving, intelligent, educated, attractive, well balanced, athletic, who loves to travel and loves animals. These are some of the traits and qualities that I posses and I feel that some commonality is essential. My ideal match would also be someone that is adventerous, very social, and wants to travel the world. I have always lived life to it's fullest and my ideal person would desire to share this vision with me. I would like to meet someone to first build a friendship with and then have it grow into a long term relationship and beyond......... Please Tell me what I would enjoy most about you?
