Most people agree that dating sucks...I'm also a member of that club....When it comes to love, I haven't found the "right" one yet...But in the meantime, I keep busy, and enjoy be-boppin' around at my own pace. Who knows? I may even end up a confirmed 'ol bachelor...relaxing in my tiki lounge or traveling about. I'd like to travel a little more if my schedule would permit, so it would be nice to find a companion who likes to travel, also... ............................................................ ............................................... In a woman, I'd like to find the same basic thing every guy wants...someone who is caring, wise, understanding, where there is harmony and mutual attraction. Race is unimportant (as it should be), I just want chemistry....an "easy goin' girl" who doesn't get uptight over silly little things...someone I just 'click' with. Life's too short to try and force a relationship to work...know what I mean? ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................................. Marriage and kids......I can honestly say that I don't know. Society seems to suggest this should be everyone's goal; but, with the statistical rate of failed marriages and kids in custody/foster care, something isn't right. I definitely want a life companion, but am in no hurry to run out and "get married". Marriage is in your heart anyway, right? So why the extra paperwork process that can be such legal hassle? hee hee :) ............................And Kids? ...I love kids as much as anyone, but have none of my own at this point in my life. Honestly, I can't even fathom the idea of it unless I were with a life partner/wife. I have no problem being with someone who already has kids, or even adopting, since there are sooo many kids out there who need good homes...But overall, I can't say that I want to bring one of my own into the world, at this point in my life, yet......................................................... ............................................................ ....................................................A couple of things about me that ladies might like is that I like the toilet seat down (all the way...mainly so the 4 legged children don't use it as a drinking fountain!...plus, it looks better). I also like the AC to be nice and cool ...something you may not understand now, but I'm sure you will certainly appreciate it when you hit menopause. :) ;) ............................................................ ............................................................ ...............Well, that's all I can think of to say about romance....but overall I'm probably a hopeless romantic...finding true love may be hopeless!! :O
