A BIG teddy bear, that's what I'm commonly referred as. I am a man of big stature but have a very kind heart. How else could I be a teacher, and minor in music? I've been through a lot in my life already, so think I know exactly what I'm looking for. However, every woman has her own unique individual beauty, so I might be surprised by something I've never even known I like. I want someone who has also experienced life's ups and downs and still has a positive outlook on life. I want a women that is graceful and professional, but on the flip side likes to let her hair down. ;-) I'm a guy who's looking for someone that craves to be loved, and wants to love back. I love to spoil my partner and show them how much they mean to me whenever I can. Romance is strongly important to me in a relationship. The most important though is trust. Complete trust is the key to a lasting relationship if you ask me. I am in love with nature and all that it has to offer. I'd rather be outside doing anything, even just laying in the grass watching the clouds, then inside. Of course, my second favorite thing is cuddling up and watching movies next to a fire. I know, they contradict each other. lol I guess in reality, I just love doing anything with the right person by my side. I love my job. Teaching brings many joys to my life professionally and personally. I love the opportunity to help a child become a lifelong learner that can become successful in everyday life. I come from a great supportive family that means the world to me. I owe them everything for the great life that I am living now. My ideal date would consist of a romantic night full of good food, atmosphere, and conversation. Whether that's under the stars having a picnic, a romantic restaurant, or myself cooking at home, depends on mood and person I'm with. I can't wait to find a woman that has the things I'm looking for, while I have the qualities she wants in return. Are you the one?
