I'm a bit of a contradiction, but I'm very proud to be an alpha male with a big heart. In other words, I am a very take-charge kind of guy who knows what love means and is not the least bit afraid to show it. I am as well connected to my emotional side as my smarts, and require both for a healthy and happy life. I definitely do not fit the stereotypes you have encountered in the dating world. I have the depth and integrity that you rarely see anymore. If you have been going 'round and 'round in the dating world it may be time to step outside the box and meet someone genuinely different from the people you keep meeting. I know we are all used to the "coffee date", no spark, on to the next first date that is so common here. I'm ready to break that cycle if you have the strength to take the risk that real love demands. Love doesn't work the way it is portrayed in the movies -- love means taking a chance, risking getting hurt, but the reward that comes when you are truly open to loving another human being has no words that can really describe it. Kindness, generosity and a graciously warm heart are the formula to finding that love we all seek. I'm fortunate to have my own successful business that take me around the Gulf Coast of the world.I appreciate people who are genuine and are not afraid of being unique. Besides having an unusual career, I have a light hearted sense of humor that can put anyone at ease. I'm told that I'm genuinely nice and considerate and have a strong sense of integrity. I tend to be a strong leader and make intelligent decisions easily. I'm confident from experience, not arrogance, so I tend to attract very honest and loyal friends. My job takes me to a wide variety of exotic international and domestic places. Yes, I get to have a lot more adventure than most people and have more freedom to see the world than most people you know. I'm very open and know how to express myself, but I am just as good at listening. I believe in equality yet know how to appreciate a feminine lady, as I'm a gentleman with class who is very sentimental and romantic. I'm very passionate and imaginative in humor, romance and even intimacy. I'm very spontaneous and that includes exploring back roads, city culture and trying new restaurants which I often recommend (yes, I even know how to plan). I am something of a "foodie" so I have a strong taste for culinary adventure. I'm told that I'm easy to get along with and I appreciate a partner who is interested in some of my world. In return I enjoy learning and experiencing the uniqueness of YOU! I'm looking for a friend and lover who is committed to a life where I can love and be loved in return, I want my last first date and I know you do too. Take a chance. If what you have been doing was working you wouldn't be reading this. Do you really, truly want an open heart and an open mind that you can trust on a deep level you never seem to find, or do you just want to meet another meat head for coffee so he can tell you about his car?
