Let me start by saying I delete "WINKS"! They are meaningless "without" some basic meaningful words to follow. If you are winking at someone, you obviously have "something" to say. You're interested, right? Say why you are interested. If you just "wink" at me, I will assume you must have something in your eye! :-)

I am looking for the love of my life. No mind games or players. I'm a very fun, interesting individual once you get to know me. I'm a musician, and I can woo you off your feet with my singing! My whole family is musically inclined, and they are "extremely" talented. I don't say that big-headedly but from fact. I love to sing. I do many impersonations very well.

I'm 100% Italian and love to cook. However, I do love to be cooked for or to cook with my mate. I am a hopeless romantic. When I "love" someone, it's for real. I was raised to be faithful to one woman, and one woman only.

I refuse to be with someone who has wandering eyes. If your eyes wander, so will you. I am a devoted Christian man and expect the same in the woman the Lord has in store for me. And...just because I'm a devoted Christian, doesn't mean that I am not a captivated lover in the bedroom. I am one who loves to hold hands and kiss and am not afraid to show affection. That's a biggy for me! If you're ashamed to show your affection for the one you love around other people, you're not for me! That doesn't mean that I want to put on an exhibition in front of people, just ordinary human affection. The unordinary... I'll save for in private!! :-)

I love the music from the 40's, 50's, 60's, and some 70's. You'll find that I'm an extreme fan of The Beatles and Elvis. Are you interested yet?!

I'm not the most handsome man in the world, yet I'm not the ugliest. I'm balding but once had more hair than probably you now have. :-) (younger years)

Ladies...just a few words to you.... There are just as many creepy guys out there as there are creepy women. "You" only meet the creepy guys on these sites, but believe me, both sides exist. If you are the type who will ignore a guy's attempt at talking to you whether it be by chat box or sent messages, just because you're not attracted to them "physically," stay clear of me. Grow up for goodness' sake. Be nice/kind and have the decency to at least acknowledge receipt of their attempt, even if you have to take two seconds to say "thanks so much...but I'm not interested," instead of just blowing them off as though they didn't exist. They took time for you. Be appreciative of the fact. I don't buy the old line of "if I took the time to acknowledge 'all' the messages I receive." Take the time! You chose to join the site. That doesn't allow you the right to do away with your common morals and human kindness. It's just simply laziness. If the guys are being rude... that's another story, and they deserve to be blown off. Well... that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! LOL

I look forward to meeting some GREAT women out there, hopefully the love of my life. Let me hear back from you. If you have no photo, you won't hear from me. I like to see who I'm dealing with. True... looks aren't everything, but they're a huge part. I will respond to "everyone" who has a photo and attempts conversation with me. But... I will be very upfront with you from the beginning... so don't feel bad. I expect the same from anyone else. I'm a big boy and can take it. What I can't take is someone who totally ignores my kindness.

Hope to hear from that beautiful young woman of my dreams soon! By the way... Hello... I'm Rick!

I take each day as it comes and experience whatever is dealt out to me. I am looking forward to spending the second half of my life with that significant "other" who will make my dreams fulfilled.

Singing! My God-given talent. I can woo you off your feet! That isn't being said with a big head. I have been doing it for 35/40 years now. I have played in night clubs, used to do parties, weddings, you name it. My family is quite musical. We now do a lot of the nursing home gigs to bring a little joy into the lives of the residents.
I can do "many" impersonations. Dean Martin, The Beatles, Bobby Vinton, Johnny Mathis, and many more. I also write songs.

Being that I am 100% Italian, (other than being born here in America) I had to go and make cooking one of my specialties also. Bon Appetit

That's kind of hard to say...."I'm" always looking at "them".:-)
If I have to give an answer, I would have to say first my balding head, then my eyes, or visa versa. My eyes say a lot. What they say...you'll have to determine!

Books: I'm not much of a reader, to be honest. The only true reading I do is the Bible.

Movies: I love Romance, Action, Comedy, some Sci-Fi.
I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood, Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Gene Wilder, and on and on........

Music: I'm huge on Elvis & The Beatles. I'm a little old fashioned in the music dept. I love old standards featuring the following: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Vinton, Johnny Mathis, Roy Orbison, The Mills Brothers, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Guess Who, The Monkees, The Righteous Brothers, Barry Manilow, and on and on and on....

Food: I am not a picky person when it comes to food. I do a lot of cooking, so that is an endless trail..... :-)

What a restricting question???
1. My Bible
2. Jesus
3. Family
4. Music
5. Friends
6. Food

Where "you" are! Why aren't you "here"??? :-)

Either taking my 94 year old father to the nursing home to see my 90-year-old mother, or sitting here at the computer with the TV on.

Update: My mother has since passed this June 20th, 2009. She has gone on to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My father wishes to go home to see her now. What a true romance! :-)

That I'm a romantic at heart, and honest to a "T"

You're interested, or you're lonely and need someone to talk to or confide in. I always have an open ear.
