Yes there are some nice guys out there, at least one for now. I was born and raised in Miami of Cuban decent and moved to Charlotte, NC about twenty years ago, now living in Simpsonville. Divorced 5 years ago after 13 years of marriage.

Looking for new friends, dating, then we'll take it from there. A little bit about myself....After my past experiences, I have come to believe that any relationship that has a long term chance has to be firmly grounded in friendship first. Passion and physical attraction can only get you so far, but trust me I am a passionate and romantic person. I can’t help that, it’s in the Latino blood. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT commitment phobic, just the opposite. I am a one woman man. I'm not sure what sane man can handle dating more than one woman at a time :) I am not damaged goods or bitter, believe me. I love women and enjoy very much being in a relationship; it's just that Venus/Mars thing. We are absolutely different creatures, but I still believe that there is someone out there who's differences will enhance a relationship more than detract. Is there really such thing as a soul mate? I’m not sure, thought I came close once but no cigar but still, ever the optimist. The most important qualities I look for in a woman are intelligence, personality, communication, a great sense of humor, and an inner beauty that radiates to all those around her. I believe that outer beauty comes from within. Looking for someone with similar interests, because if you don't have things in common to enjoy that's no fun either. I am also very open-minded and willing to try most anything once. Opposites attract, but trust me from personal experience it doesn’t work in the long term. Hey, I'm still a cautiously optimistic romantic. Contact me, what have you got to lose. What else do you want to know about me? If we don't click, it was still a new experience and maybe a new friend or business contact. If we do, who knows what the future holds?

I am a dog person and love all other animals. I don't dislike cats, just very allergic to them. Enjoy traveling, the ocean, beach, camping, fishing, darts, and especially SCUBA diving. Also enjoy dining out, dancing, or just cooking a meal at home and watching a movie. I enjoy all types of music but am primarily into good Rock. Santana is the master, along with Tito Puente, Arturo Sandoval, Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, The Police, genesis, Yes, Disturbed, Daughtry, JET, AC/DC, a little of everything. Sometimes get a little stuck in the 80's with my music along with some Reggae, Calypso, Jazz, love old Motown, and I am a Parrot Head from way back when people said "Jimmy Who?" His music probably describes my ideal lifestyle and brings back great memories of time spent in Miami, the Florida Keys, Jamaica, and all other parts of the Caribbean. Enjoy live music also although nowadays prefer to see them in smaller clubs, lesser known bands, and a lot of the 80's guys and gals are doing smaller places.

What famous person alive or dead would you most like to have dinner and conversation with? My answer is always Robin Williams. I would love to be able to sit down and talk to him sometime. I think it would be an experience.

Not sure if a good thing or not but just can't get out of the corporate world. Working on my Microsoft certifications.

Cooking, swimming, fishing, Frisbee, being loyal to the person I'm with and making her feel like the only person in the world.

Eyes and dark hair...although getting a little grey here and there.

Heroes, CSI, LOST, Scrubs, Seinfeld, MASH, Food and Travel Channels, Battlestar Galactica, Law and Order..all of them.

Read primarily hard science fiction, all of Clive Cusslers books - Dirk Pitt is the man, self help (we all need it), business books, newspaper in the morning.

Air, water, food, health, coffee, intelligent conversation.

Life, the Universe, and everything....if you get the reference you get bonus points.Also if you can anwer "What is the meaning of life?" You get double bonus points. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish!

Wouldn't you want to know.

...you think we might have some things in common and like to meet new friends with potential for more.
