I have always found it difficult to talk about myself but here it goes. I hope that you make it all the way through my profile and thanks in advance for reading it. My last few years have been difficult for me but have also had some positive effects on me. I try to focus on the positive things and am most times able to. I have spent a lot of time looking deep inside myself and have made quite a few discoveries. One important thing is that with all my faults I am still a good person. I want and deserve to be happy and want to share my life with someone that appreciates and accepts me just the way I am with the good and the bad. I want to spend my life with someone that I can be completely 100% honest with, without fear of losing that person. I want to spend my life with someone that makes my heart melt, someone who knows me better than I know myself. Someone that knows how I am feeling without me having to say a word. I don't expect a mind reader but I do want to eventually have the level of intimacy with someone where having a good idea of the other persons feelings in any given situation is the norm rather than the exception. Even though I make a living with my hobby and can't imagine doing anything else and would do what I do even if I didn't get paid for it, I want to be waiting in anticipation for the end of the day so I can get home to my partner and my family, to the truly important things in life. Many of my problems are a direct result of a choice that I have made at one point or another and I have made a promise to myself to try and learn from my mistakes and not repeat them. Some days are more of a struggle than others but I am determined to make each day better for the ones I love and myself. I am excited about the future and what it holds and while I am not willing to jump blindly, head first into a relationship just to fill a void I am completely open to the possibilities, I just want to take things slow. To do otherwise would not be fair to the person I am with or myself. I look forward to long conversations getting to know each other and developing a friendship beyond all others. I cant wait to share my dreams and goals with someone and I cant wait for them to share their dreams and goals with me but best of all I can't wait to discover the dreams and goals that are ours and working together as partners to achieve those things that we most desire. One of the things I have discovered about myself is that I seem to have been kind of floating through life without a real plan or mission. This is something that I have given quite a lot of thought about and seems to be changing frequently but one thing that has not changed is this. What I want is to be the kind of husband and father that my wife and daughter can be proud of. I want my life and my relationship with my wife to be an example to my daughter and any other future children that I might be blessed with. I want my daughter to grow up wanting to marry someone just like her dad because of the love she saw from him toward his wife. I want my marriage to be the one all our friends envy. I want my kids and my wife to never doubt my love for them and know that I would give my life for them in the blink of an eye. The woman of my dreams will have my undying loyalty, support, trust and unconditional love as much as any human is capable of. My ideal mate is not only beautiful on the outside but more importantly beautiful on the inside. Don't misunderstand, there has to be a physical attraction but, as a photographer I have photographed lots of people that were beautiful on the outside and butt ugly on the inside but the inner beauty is the one that’s going to be there when the outer beauty fades and this is the beauty that I am most attracted to. I look forward with great anticipation to this next part of my journey through life and am excited to discover whom I will be traveling with. My ideal mate is sexy and beautiful because of not only her outer and inner beauty but also because of her confidence and how she carries herself. She is not boastful and understands that her partner needs and desires her respect as much as she needs and desires his unconditional love.What I am not looking for........ I am not looking for a mother...thank you but I already have one that I love and am quite satisfied with. I am also not looking for someone that wants to fix me or someone that needs a project and I also don't need a boss.If you have made it this far I want to say thank you once more. I hope that this gives you a better look at my hearts desires and I can't wait to hear from you. Please let me know how to contact you.Thanks, Rick
