I'm just another guy with a profile on this networking site... or so you may think. I'm a big kid at heart and a bigger teen in vigor so remember that there will be some attraction to you involved.

I am single, I've never been married nor have children, looking for a long-term relationship but not marriage, one that's also fun, friendly, and where I will always want to be romantic in. Whether you are looking for friends first or you're shy at first, I am gong to be romantically interested in you if you interest me. Whatever comes first, relax. I am so laid back and low maintenance, I am completely into living down from luxury in a relaxed state we both can and will want to share.

I love nature, being in the woods and outdoors as well as indoors in a cabin or tent. I'm a regular nemophile. I am designing an earth-sheltered home.

I love to travel to such exotic places; eat at nice restaurants; live life to the fullest, even with a half-full glass; wine, dine, walk on beaches; cuddle up (or more) on a couch or by a fire, and all those Harlequin romantic stereotypical scenes that make the lovelorn lasses go gooey. It's a great idea and a greater fantasy to make real. I have given up some hope but not given up trying. What more can one say or do to show they are at least worthy of recognition on a site this unrelenting?

You want honesty. Well, I don't have a success story to win your heart and mind over. I'm a college-educated horticulturalist and a self-made lyricist/poet/composer whose life's goal is to have my works be remembered. I'm not a loser but the blue and red ribbons are not on my business attire as they are in my sight but I really want to break completely free. I let the fact that life isn't fair slip my 'conscientious' mind there.

Whatever comes first, friends first or shy at first, Relax. I am so laid back and low maintenance, I am completely into living down from luxury in a relaxed status, half-full glass or not. I'd be content in a shack more so than a mansion.

I want to travel to exotic places (I've been to 1/4th of the U.S. and Westminster, England). Hell, I want to be out more often. I miss the outdoors a lot, especially in the fall, my season. I love nature, being in the woods and outdoors as well as indoors in a cabin or tent.

trying to get one back from the those I didn't and don't have, getting the new job I need, pursuing success in the music industry, and rambling about at home. I know what I want out of life and how to get it. The vehicle for which is the media of that pursuit needs a tune-up, care, and attention.

writing poetry/lyrics, bass guitar, singing, working, gardening, drawing, building things, collecting, keeping still, moving quickly to get something done, watching people's stuff for them, conversation, eating my food, driving, saving money, thinking, surfing the Net, finding solutions, kissing, keeping my word, taking online tests, picking out select items when shopping, walking in pace, reading maps, watching TV, dressing casually, giving pets and people attention, Rocket Mania, and so on.

that I am being me and nothing has changed much except my appearance.

^These 6 encompass all the material things as well as the essentials.

..the rest of my life and what I am going to do during it.
..where I went wrong in life and how to remedy that.
..how and where I am going to find the resources with regards to the above two thoughts. I have the start under way.

doing something. What, I don't know right now.

would make you nod your head and go "Ohhhh", like the fact that I'm not Mr. Right but I'd like to think he gave me up for adoption.

you have the heart (or stomach) to be with me sometime in the near future and beyond. I use this factor to filter out those who vainly think I'm a loser, slacker, or too below them to bother.

Remember that I need my 'me' time, you need your 'you' time, and we definitely need to have our 'we' time.
