FloridaSteve (57) from West Yorkshire

I'm skeptical of online dating, but here goes . . . . Are you sick and tired of reading personal ads that say things like, "I like watching movies and going to nice restaurants"? What did they leave out? That they like breathing, too? I promise that I won't bore you with such comments. Instead, I will bore you in other ways! :-) I won't tell you that I like having fun, traveling, and walks on the beach. You've probably read lots of similar personal ads that really tell you nothing about the person. Instead, I will give you a glimpse into someone who isn't just another generic person. If you spend the next minute reading my profile, you will see that I am not right for everyone, but I may be a great match for you. I can make you smile because I am almost always in a good mood. You are about to meet someone who wants a partner who has as much to offer as I do. Do you want to meet someone who knows how to have fun and enjoy life? If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I have a great head on my shoulders. I firmly believe that love should be based on friendship. My life motto is: treat others the way you wish to be treated. Physically, I think my best feature is my . . . well, you'll find out, and when you do, you will love it! Mentally, I think my best attribute is my sense of humor. I know that I am not perfect, but I'm hoping to find someone who thinks that I am. If I wanted to impress you, I would make dinner for you. If I were to compose a list of the top ten reasons to date me, one of them would surely be that I am very warm and loving. My job is enjoyable and rewarding. On my days off, my first priority is usually having fun. My biggest fault is that I am not as practical as I should be. If I had my life to live over, I would do nothing different. My foremost long-term goal is to travel more. I am generally happiest when I am with someone I love. In my opinion, the best thing about a long-term relationship is developing a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

I am looking for someone who is intelligent, pleasant to look at, quirky, and is a thinker AND a doer. She should be friendly, loving, kind, easygoing, affectionate, pleasant, thoughtful, sensual, and fun to be with. I also value loyalty, honesty, integrity, passion, playfulness, open-mindedness, and a willingness to accept my imperfections. I'd like my partner to be levelheaded, versatile, personable, and self-confident. It would be wonderful to find someone who could be my best friend and lover. You will get bonus points if you know that "we" is a better pronoun than "me." Physically, I am most particular about my partner's smile. I would never consider dating someone who thinks she's great just because she is beautiful. I'll think, "Finally! This is the one!" when I meet someone who becomes my best friend. After reading this, you may think that I am looking for someone who doesn't exist. I am not. However, I am seeking a partner who has as much to offer as I do. Are you the one? If this sounds like you, please get in touch! Serious inquiries only, please. I am not looking for a fling. No photo = no reply.
