Even though I grew up in Cleveland, I was raised a Southern Gentleman thanks to my Mom. I am a good man and I will treat you well. I will open doors for you, you will feel safe when you are with me, I will be polite and not vulgar around you. I'm solid in my career goals, I am financially stable, I am a very proud father who has spent the majority of my time as a single-Dad raising two beautiful, successful teenage daughters. I am adventurous. I believe in being responsible, but I also love to live life to its fullest. Camping, skiing, boating, traveling - what does the world have in store? But I won't trade tomorrow's stability for a fling today. I plan for the fun, and then I can cut loose and truly enjoy because I've gathered what I need to do it! I am a romantic. I love the lost art of poetry. I write short stories as a hobby. Candles, flowers, I will sweep you off your feet. You can be my equal at work, you can be my partner with kids, but if you are my lady, then I am your man. Ladies are to be cherished, treated as such, and in return I expect to be treated with simple respect and not be taken for granted. Respect is paramount; trust comes with time, and is built from honesty between us. Hey! Enough seriousness! What about fun!? Laughing is king! When the serious moments are aside, I am a smart-alec. Can you match me with wit? Can you be a kid? At my age, I have all my hair and it's not grey. Why? Because I laugh and refuse to become old - it's the kid in my heart. Concerts, parades, going to bars, hangin' with friends, Browns games. Oh yeah, if you're a Steeler fan, don't bother. Do you like fun Italian restaurants? Can you sit on a cliff and watch the sunset over Lake Erie with a bottle of wine and be content in the simple beauty? Come talk to me.
