Warmth, integrity, romance, passion, attentiveness, honesty, enthusiasm, traditional values, placing another's needs or desires ahead of my own... Qualities of a bygone era?... Not necessarily! Chivalry is not dead! I am a young 54 year old (... Everyone guesses I am "thirty-something!") Christian man who lives life with enthusiasm and joy! . I have a great sense of humor, laced with a healthy dose of sarcasm. Because "laughter is good for the soul," I try to participate in it as often as possible. I am usually very patient and easy going. ...life is way too short for petty arguements and power plays! I am not afraid to share my heart and I am not afraid to commit. I have no hidden agendas and do my utmost to avoid false pretenses. I am sensitive, warm, emphathetic, and very, very attentive. I enjoy simple pleasures, simple things... A walk on the beach, a leisurely hike in the mountains,watching a beautiful sunrise... And sunset... On the same day... With the same special lady!... Staying up all night talking with that special someone, a hug, a kiss, a flower. It is the simple things in life, things or gestures that cost little or nothing, that bring prespective to life on a grander scale. I am formerly from Alaska, so I love anything to do with the outdoors. I prefer rural settings over city life, but I am very adaptable. It is my desire to relocate permanantly to Latin America, with the exception of occasional travels. I am currently living in Cali, Colombia. I truly believe that life is or can be what you make of it. ...but for me, EVERYTHING in life is so much more special when you have someone you love to share it with.
