Being THERE for the SPECIAL WOMAN in your life is what it is all about. I am a Man who believes in family, sharing of responsibilities and the beauty/importance of romancing one another. I believe a woman has a great need to serve, love and FEEL LOVED, APPRECIATED AND TREATED KINDLY. I think there is a strong difference between having fun, gentle teasing, etc. and 'acting in a mean way.' I KNOW where that line is drawn. I love hugs, kisses, cuddling, giving back rubs, receiving back rubs, foot rubs and experiences of that nature. I am looking for a woman who is willing to share her feelings and desires with an EXPECTATION that they will be treated with respect. I'm sure enough of myself to realize that a woman needs and deserves time to herself as well as time alone with some of her former friends.

I have 5 children (all married in the temple) and 10 grandchildren - - - all boys. I could start a baseball team.

I have a good knowledge of marketing and entrepreneurship and have started a number of businesses.

Of all I have done in employment, it pales in comparison the the importance of a relationship with a special woman.

I would like to list a little of what I'm looking for first. I'm looking for a woman who is ready to take whatever didn't work in their prior relationship(s) and contribute what she has learned - - - combined with what I have learned - - - into a relationship of promise, commitment and forming the "best that is yet to be and intended for Eternity."

I am looking for a woman to 'cry with' (if necessary), being each others best 'cheerleaders' and very best of friends. I don't want to sound quaint - but I'm looking for someone who believes that the creation of a 'soulmate', is really possible.

If there are children - that's a plus.

Now, what do I like to do for fun? Easier to make a list of what I don't like. However, the KEY here is the 'meshing of interests.' To give just a few I say: walks, DVD's, long or short drives, snuggling, popcorn, movies, plays, concerts, Greek Yogurt, cotton candy, fishing, sunsets, thunderstorms, walking alongside a special woman I have a fondness for.

And ETC., Etc., etc.
