It's a great pleasure to get your email, I really appreciate your amicable response to my note on the dating site, I'm anxious to get to know more about you & plan on meeting sometime...
Like I said before, new to online dating, don't really know how it works but I believe I will with time, I think the first thing to do is to tell you more about me, I work freelance as an engineer, that makes my job more fun for me to be able to make my schedules, I am originally from Gothenburg, Sweden. I lost my father 7 years ago & my mum of cancer early last year. I have been divorced for 5 years now, being reflective, It's not the best of thoughts to remember but we did have some special moments together, I'm just trying to move on & try something different, except that it's been quite hard to deal with the loneliness. I'm well read and have common sense, English is not my first language, Swedish is, I do speak English but with an accent. I have learned to take one moment at a time but being one that is goal oriented and looking forward I seem to take big steps. I try to look for fun in all that I do, I do like to laugh, I read a lot, I like to be around people. I love listening to music and writing, I like football got to play for the college team, can go out to a bar for few drinks but not to get drunk, I like going to the movies too.. I like playing poker, I'm good at the game very well.
I know I shouldn't be expecting to have kids with the age range of my search, I just want to find someone to spend my life with & be happy with.. We can both share everything in our lives & just make each other happy. My passions include reading inspirational books and clever mysteries, I don't like to be the center of Attraction, I prefer to listen and as for movies I'm the comedy and Romance type, also watch some actions packed thriller, adventures & some decent erotica. I love the museums & art galleries, all I seek here is true love and happiness, I really want to settle down & be happy, all that I want in a relationship is honesty, meaning- to be up front with each other & open our hearts out to each other without the lies. Loving - meaning "loving yourself, children & each other & never letting the music in your heart stop" being kind to others, these two things are more important to me than all of the rest.
I'm a man who love traveling, most times for business & sometimes just for the fun of it.. Well I am looking for a woman to spend the rest of my life with loving, caring, kind, passionate with good sense of humor & most of all I am looking for a woman who is honest & not into games cause I have never been. The potential pain of truth is minimal to the pain caused by not telling it! I'm looking for a partner to share every aspect of my life, someone to sleep & wake up everyday of my life, someone to kiss good night & start the morning with, someone who's positive always, someone I can always call after work to let her know how anxious I'm to get back home only to be in her arms! I eat cake but I prefer cookies even more. My favorite flavor for cake would have to be chocolate. I prefer a creamy salad most of the time & I can say I love potato and steaks. I like eating all kinds of foods anything made of chicken & when I eat out I like Italian. I like candle light dinner with someone special... I like to cuddle on the bed while its raining outside and I love cool music very much. I'm very much into romance.
Life should be "balanced" with plenty of time to relax, think, and have fun! I exercise 1-2 days a week to stay in physical & mental shape & I run whenever I get the chance to. Love to read, discover new ideas and places. I love off-beat / foreign movies very partial to science-fiction / romantic, fantasy & thriller movies. Even-tempered, masculine and dependable, creative that's just about how I define me.. I feel it is important to be active intellectually as well as physically. I have many diverse interests and passions - politics, art, music, philosophy and the human condition. Some would describe me as a liberal type - however I am closer to libertarian. I am open to everything but a closed mind. Patience is my most obvious virtue... I just hope this tells a few about me.
That is about all I can think of right now, maybe more later... Would be nice to read some more about you.
