Gentlelion, 61

It is tough for me to put myself out like this, but I believe that I am being guided in Providence. Actually, I am a transparent man, who desires to be open & frank. Deep intimacy and communication is important. However, this openness follows once I get to know someone and their intentions. Can send a clear photo.

To those who know me, I am considered very spiritual, bright, hard working, fun-loving, easy-going, tender, and good looking! I have not yet married as a couple of past relationships did not work out. Guess I am just very selective; and I am willing to wait for the "right one." Also, I spent several years in Europe where I was unable to find genuine love & compatibility.

Much of my family lives in CA, and I enjoy them greatly. Though I am partially hispanic, with a hispanic surname, there is mostly a European mix in my blood. My family is very lively & big. We are all young: in heart and appearance! I look 12 years younger than I am; and desire a woman who takes health seriously and wants to live a vibrant life of sound eating, exercise, and fun activity.

I am a conscientious catholic man who loves my faith. Am conservative religiously & politically; though without being rigid or unreasonable. Love to pray, read scripture, and other spiritual writings. My hope is that my lifelong partner will desire to live a vibrant faith life with me: one in which we share deeply the sacraments & a prayer life. I pray for that woman who is devout, pure, patient, and kind.

Also, my desire is to meet a woman who has a deep appreciation for traditional roles of men & women. I would like to think of myself as very strong, as a lion, with a deep gentle side. Thus I am looking for a woman who is receptive to the strengths of a man. I will serve with selfless sacrifice the one who can receive my love, surrender herself, and trust that I will strive always to bring about what is best for her, even if that should cost me my life.
