Faithbased, 50

Looking for a smile to make me smile When you first meet me, you may notice that I’m a pretty quiet guy and may come off as a bit shy at first. Honestly, it just takes the right person to get me to warm up and then I’m out of my shell just like that. Once you get to know me you’ll see that I’m a kind, laidback man with good morals and values. I was raised traditionally and will always open the door and get the chair for my lady. I’m not past draping my coat over a puddle, so she can cross and while that may come off a bit dramatic, just know it’s a deeply instilled instinct and if it happens, I can’t be held accountable for my chivalrous behavior. I’ll try to avoid that situation for now, but I will offer my coat when you’re chilly.
Most of my family is from New York and we’re very close. I’d like for my partner to have strong family ties as well.
I believe you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat those closest to them. Sometimes people tend to take advantage of those who love them unconditionally, so someone who shows respect and love even through trying times is something I look for in my match.
As a partner, I’m an admitted hopeless romantic and am willing to do anything for my partner in order to make our relationship work and blossom to its fullest. I know a relationship is hard-work and takes effort on both parts. I want my match to know that I’m willing to give it my all when it comes to us and am seeking the same in return. The most important factor to any relationship is open communication. While a gorgeous smile will catch my eye, what will capture my heart is someone who is beautiful on the inside and who’s willing to love and be loved unconditionally. I know all this doesn’t happen overnight, so for now I’m looking for someone I hit it off with and who knows, maybe we’ll watch our friendship turn into a wonderful romance.
