I’m a father of four with an 11 year old son that resides with me
most of the time and a 13 year old daughter who is with me about
half the time. My kids are and always have been a big part of my
life but they are getting older now and having dad hanging around
is not what it once was, so I now have time to pursue other
interest and activities. I have been divorced for five years now,
and don’t “need” a woman in my life, but would like to have. I can
and do cook, sew, wash, dry and fold the clothes and can do
anything else that could possibly need to be done around the house,
including pay my own bills.
I am an army brat (guess that never goes away) and have lived in several countries and most of the states. I also served for six years in the military as a medical specialist and combat medic. Hobbies I enjoy vary as much as the locations I grew up in, be it hot, cold, rainy, or beautiful most of the time (ya, I guess I do miss California a little, but not the earth quakes). Still enjoy tag or hide-n-seek with the kids, football with the older kids and their friends, can still shoot a hoop or two, it's never a bad day for tennis and will try most anything. Forget skydiving though, I had to jump out of a perfectly good airplane once and that is all I needed to realize it is not for me.
I know I am still a kid at heart, but I also work in the corporate world, so I know how and when to be serious. I have been told many times that I have old fashioned values about life and relationships, and that is just me. It just seems right to open a door for a lady, even if I don’t know her, that honesty is a very important part of a relationship and that trust, once lost, is very hard to regain.
It is my hope that I will meet a wonderful, thoughtful, kind, considerate, compassionate woman with her feet on the ground but who can still get lost in the clouds. She knows what fidelity is and how important it is for a relationship to last. (Sorry, no second chances there, I don't ask for or give) I ask that you have a sense of humor or can at least appreciate mine. It’s no fun to be serious all the time. I don’t ask for or expect perfection, just the ability to forgive as I know I am not perfect and I will make mistakes. I will never ask for anything more then I would give and hope you can do the same.
If you can get past the baggage (we all have it, it’s how we deal with it that matters) don’t stereo type and have a positive outlook on life, I would love to hear from you. I won’t play games with you but I do ask for the same in return. Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up with a smile every morning?
One final thought. Please, if you are still married and living with your husband, no matter how long you have been sleeping on the sofa, wait until you are at least separated to contact me. It's only right. Ya, I really had to add that. What is it about my profile that draws the married ones?
