Annoyed... I believe I've stumbled onto a modren dating quandary: we've become a 4G society. You see a stunning pic of the opposite sex, share a few witty emails, talk on the phone, meet, spend an hour or two talking, , and.... your expecting instant gratification and think that's enough time to determine 100% yes or no as to future relationship status. It takes longer than that, but while we've morphed into a society waiting for the next update, new app, that's drifted into our dating solutions. It takes time ladies, , who has a minute or 3 to read about me? :)
This just got longer... grab a glass of wine and enjoy.. read in it's entirety as there's a happy ending ;)
never mind I just shortened this; put the wine away and respond to me! :)~
Prefer someone who can find employment in the Virgin Islands; just saying... I'm looking for better sunsets and warmer water! ;)

At our stage of life I rather not waste time in relationships of no value, depth or fulfillment. Wasting time meandering through life can just as easily be achieved through watching football, which I also choose not to do.
I offer an endless supply of witty sarcasm, quirky remarks, senseless foolishness and goof ball antics, but only because you know that deep inside my assumedly non-serious exterior there is quality, integrity, charm, humor, compassion, and endless loyalty.
I like to spend time through numerous activities, but not opera or sporting events unless you would like to go. I like outdoors, snowboarding trips, anything trips, beach / water activities, but most of all time spent with a lovely woman, whom by my side can laugh at the same things I do, who sneaks her cold feet under the blanket on the couch knowing she'll get a foot massage after I recover from hypothermic shock delivered from her ice cold feet, but will also give me a back massage when she knows I need it.

What I'm doing with life....?
Cherishing the sun rises as I have God has granted me yet another day of life...
Retired Navy... Gov. Contractor.... 1/2 way through masters program... looking for that special woman to share the second half of life with and adore and cherish.... and find secluded tropical beaches to steal a kiss and hug while on vacation :) I'm from the east coast so I do come with manners and chivalry; I also come with a ... 'different' way about me.
If your not an open minded, level headed, reasonably realistic, warm hearted woman... you may not "get me" ... but feel free to give it a shot ;)
I'm actually affectionately compassionate, and just want a special woman in my life whom I may put up high upon a pedestal and worship etc etc...
I have a 15yr old son... so... take into consideration.

Holding doors open for people
old age acts of chivalry
uncanny acts of stupidity (some people actually laugh at it)
finding good chocolate :)
eating good chocolate before you get to lick the melted chocolate off your fingers because you dilly dallied "savoring" the goodness ;)
balancing both the good and negative in things; I prefer to call it "realism"
focusing and accomplishing tasks at hand
being a contradictory of terms
finance
assortment of other qualitative items which...will make you smile at the end of your search :)

That I remind them of Brad Pitt, with my whimsical charm yet humble personality .... yes ... that's B.S.
I'm different... but could be worth your while :) I'm kind'a like chicken curry.... not for everyone, but if you like it... Mmmmm Yummy!

*Sailing for Dummies, just bought a boat and learning to sail... will you decipher the pictures for me? :)
*Ziggy Marley; 'A Lifetime' "...A lifetime isn't enough to love you, and one lifetime isn't enough to live.. .. with out you I'm always alone.."
Looking for the woman who'll let this be a wedding song :) One lifetime isn't enough, when you have someone to cherish and adore; and we're halfway through this lifetime of ours, so lets get going and live it!!

Does a 6-pac of beer count as 'six things' or... just 1 item? :)~
Who the heck knows... until you're really without something ... you just don't know if you could ever do with out them.
so...
1) a good hearted woman :(
2) oh and Nutella !!!

* If.. in attempts to eat healthy; I eat apple pie for dinner, could that be considered "vegetarian" dinner? If paired with red wine, as it's an anti-oxidant...that could be considered healthy dinner yes? :)
* Trying to figure out how to mesh two established adult lives which are traveling in the same direction but upon parallel paths.
* Will corrupt politicians have a more terrible place in Hell than say... other "bad" people?
* If the world ends in Dec 2012, what will future history books say about it?
* How much of this crap really matters when trying to achieve thought number one???? ;)

Undetermined ....

stupid-cupid is.....

If you don't like this silly s#!% and you rather have someone in person to live a life with rather than an electronic penpal.... then you and I may have something in common ;)
