Here's basically what I have put in my singles-profiles online, the truth about me and what I'm looking for.If you are serious about a relationship then you're going to have to talk to me, not make your final judgment on what I write in this little box. You won't be disappointed if you know who you are and what you want, I won't dare waste your time. I'm 100% sincere and serious about this; I don't want to play games and run around in circles b/c you aren't ready to move past the teenage years in your life. Either you are going to chase after guys that only want a good time on the weekend, or you are going to decide that you want to make a commitment. I'm humorous, often witty, intelligent, and have a whole lot to offer to the woman who wants the same.
*I'll ask you now: please don't contact me for an intimate encounter or if you've posted pictures of yourself in anything less than a tank-top and underwear; I won't respond. I won't waste my time on girls that degrade themselves in that manner.
I was in a relationship for over 4 years until about 6 months, though she was slowly pulling away for a while. I gave her my everything, and she couldn't commit. She told me she thought I deserved someone better. With that said..
Many people have told me that I am a great catch; handsome, educated, responsible, practical, grounded, conservative, and without selfishness. My sister's friends (about 5yrs older than me) have told her if they were a couple years younger they'd hold onto me. Give me a chance and you'll see. I am a lover, a romantic, and a fighter (meaning I don't give up on those I care for). I'm a peacemaker and a loyal friend and companion, however I will stand up for what I believe in, so don't push me. I am looking for one woman; not 2, not more. Just the one that will return the love, time, affection, and friendship I give to her.
What can I promise you? I will send you flowers when you're at work, write you letters and hide them under your pillow. I'll treat you the way you want to be treated and give you the love and attention you deserve.
I want to settle down, I've never been one to party or drink (though I wouldn't mind the occasional glass of wine at dinner). I'm not a dancer, but I'm not closed to the idea; I'm not a skier, but I'd enjoy learning. I like working with my hands to accomplish tasks, but have worked a finance-related office job steadily. I'm very flexible and accommodating to others' needs/wants/desires. I know who I am, what I want, and where I want to go. I've been down bumpy roads in my past (we’ve all been challenged now and then), and it is from hard life-taught experiences that I have come to know this. I can be the man you most desperately need and want, and will always be there to lean on when you can't stand on your own. Give me your heart and I will return it ten-fold.
My significant other should enjoy my company, holding my hand, cuddling at home while talking, watching a movie, relaxing. She should be responsible, realistic, and understanding. She should be someone who wants to be in a relationship for the long-haul, honest, and sincere. She should take good care of herself physically, and in good shape.
My family is kind and loving, my parents and my sister (also married) live nearby; so we usually go to dinner together on the weekends, sometimes into the city, etc.. They’re all fantastic, and I love them with all my heart. It is only from such a wonderful family that I have been brought up properly, with manners and dignity. I believe in God, and the basis of Christianity. If you don't have faith in God and are closed to the idea then I don't know how I can help you. The one thing the world needs now -more than ever- is faith and a moral understanding.
Why am I here? I've been broken-hearted and left to get by on my own, and I'm not the kind of guy that wants to go to bars and clubs. The type of woman I am looking for probably isn't looking for a guy with my personality in those places, anyway. So I figured maybe looking online is worth a shot. We all need to start somewhere, right? Let's meet for lunch, dinner, or at the mall. Bring a friend, and get a second opinion. I won't bite, promise.
Wishing you the best in your search,
Jonathan
