Once you get to know me, you will really like me.

I was born and raised in the church. My whole family are members. I love the influence the church has made in my life. I would not be the person I am without it, I'm sure.
It will be nice to have someone to hold hands with in Sacrament meeting again, or someone that I can look over and smile at during temple sessions. I miss those little things that can only happen with someone you love.

A non-member lady friend of mine recently told me the following poem. I don't know where she got it from, but I think it's true.

"Women are like apples, the best ones are at the top of the tree, most men either don't see the good ones or don't want to reach for them because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt instead they sometimes take the apples from the ground that arent as good but easy. It takes a few bad apples before men realize that the climb is indeed worth it. When the brave gets to the top of the tree and finally scores one of the top apples they are indeed........amazing!"

That's what I'm wanting and shooting for and I'll keep trying until I do find a woman that is worth it.

Please, don't leave me hanging. I'm a big boy, I can take it, lol.

I love most anything to do with the outdoors. Because of my height, most people are intimidated by me. But once they get to know me, they really like me. I'm one of the nicest, honest, easy going, courteous and kind people you have ever met. I'm the type of person that opens doors for a woman...any woman...heck, anybody for that matter. I was raised to respect women and am a believer in it. I'm usually a generous person until I think that I'm being taken advantage of (even then it's hard for me to stop, because I like that quality of me, but I wasn't born yesterday either). I like to listen to a wide variety of music, seeing nature at it's best, drawing pencil portraits, visiting with friends and family. I have a close family, being #4 of 5 kids. I like adventure, but am very safety minded. I HATE mind games (you all know what I mean), but like games that challenge the mind. I'm not much into watching professional sports (imagine that), although I will watch an occasional football game or golfing event on TV. I don't really watch all that must TV anyway. I am a fairly quiet person, perferring to listen than to speak. I usually like to think about what I'm about to say before I say it and usually know whether I should say it or not. But I can hold an intelligent conversation. I'm usually very optomistic. I am one of the few people that can truely say I love my job.
I'm looking for a woman that loves to kiss and cuddle, spending quality time with her man. A woman that doesn't need a man but would love to have one as a companion/partner in her life. She should have good self-esteem or be willing to build on what she has. I have always hated being around people who put others down or talk badly of others. I love life and am seeking the same in a woman. Just to let you know, in advance, if your profile does not have a picture of you in it, or you don't tell a little about yourself, then I may not reply to any contacts you try to make with me. If I can do it, then so can you. I stopped doing blind dates a long time ago. If you have read this far, it means that you are either bored and like to read peoples profiles, lol, or I may have interested you in some way and you are thinking you might contact me. Please do!!! I would like to hear from you. If you have any further questions, please ask!!! More than likely, I'll answer it.

Thank you for viewing and reading my profile and I hope you find what you're looking for.
