I’m a man who is always striving to improve myself, but making time for fun and laughter. I'm a firm believer in Gary Chapman’s “The Five Love Languages.” Myself, I respond best to words of affirmation, physical touch and am willing to give the same along with quality time and acts of kindness. What’s yours? I believe in honesty, loyalty, romance and affection. I am someone who is self aware, self reflective, self motivated and has empathy. I am a great listener and will make sure you feel safe, seen, heard, understood, and loved. I’m prepared to give 100% to a LTR & I expect 100% back. I also expect honesty/loyalty & a continuous work effort to always put your best foot forward. To treat each other like we are still dating even after 10+ yrs together. I am passionate about spending time and being present with the person I love from snuggling to walking nature trails or farmers markets. If I love the person, then everyday is an adventure I look forward to. If she chooses to have alone time, I can be happy going for a bicycle ride or just clean the house. For my partner-- I want more than just a pretty face. I want a woman who is beautiful on the inside as well. The woman for me is independent, motivated and faces challenges head on. She shares my commitment to health and fitness. She takes good care of herself. She is stable in both emotions and career. She works hard but makes sure to leave enough time to enjoy life. She possesses both intelligence and an open heart.
