I am ready to find someone that I can trust, be friends and have fun with, have passion with, and be devoted to. I never once strayed from the woman that I was with for 17 years, though that may paint me as strange, it is the truth. I guess I'm a little old-fashioned when it comes to these matters. I always felt like, if things got boring, why not mix it up with the person you're with instead of looking elsewhere. I take good care of myself and am in good shape. I look and feel younger than my age, though the stress of divorce has added a few grey hairs. I am a devoted father to my 7 and 4 year old daughters, who I share custody of. I enjoy taking day trips to parks, museums, theme parks, canoe trips, hiking, bicycling, camping, historic sites I like nights out, finding restaurants/bars with great atmosphere where I can enjoy quiet converstation. I don't necessarily like going to parties/mingling. I'd rather socialize in a quieter setting with a few good friends. I've been a musician on/off and have observed but never really participated in the bar scene. I like going out and having fun but I'm not going to be the charasmatic, "life of the party" guy. I'm in the middle of changing careers to become a elementary school teacher, which is a goal I had to put to the side for quite awhile. What you'll get from me is a completely honest, affectionate, passionate, trustworthy man, who has his imperfections at times, but will admit to them. I'm even tempered and not stubborn. I'm looking for someone who wants someone like me. I don't need or want someone who is exactly like me. I'd even like someone who's interests differ from mine. I am excited by being introduced to new things, ideas, personalities, etc. Looks are a plus but definitely not the most important thing.
