My introduction

"I might not be someone's first choice but I'm a good choice. I may not be rich, but I'm valuable. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not because I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today. I may not be prefect, but I don't need to be. So take me as I am or watch me as I walk away"   Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. I have been single for a while now & while it works for some people, the single life is just not for me. I guess I’m single because while I want a relationship, I REFUSE to settle for just any woman.   As for me: I am gainfully employed, financially responsible (and you should be too), I take care of my health & I posses many of the endearing qualities that any “great” woman would want of her mate.     About the one I'm looking for...   I am looking for a woman that in time a beautiful, thriving relationship will develop and we’ll get through this thing called life together. I’m not looking for perfection as none of us are perfect, however I would like to meet that special woman that does not have a hidden agenda. A woman who is free, single and knows what they want and has the similar mindset as I do towards building a committed relationship. I am looking for a woman that has great character vs. personality. Would you know a good man if he’s standing right in from of you?     I'd just like to add...   What do I like to do: I love to bowl, ride roller coasters (Magic Mountain in So. Cal. & Cedar Point in Ohio) and love the occasional mid-week or weekend getaway! I also enjoy the casual evenings (dinner, movies) & listening to old school R&B (when music was music!)
