Kevmart, 61

I'm an upbeat, cheerful man with a great sense of humor. I'm not a male model, but I'm not bad looking, either. I'm very sincere, honest and dedicated, and I'm looking for the same qualities in another person.

I'm tired of games, especially through dating services. Many is the time that I've gotten along well with someone for a month or two, but they'd rather type the occasional message than attempt a real relationship. I can understand this somewhat, however, there's a time when you have to take chances. You can't live forever as a virtual prisoner of the world, and life is far too short to be wasted on self doubt, or what might have been, or what could have been.

I'm looking for someone who is not a slave to his or her own fears, who believes that life still has something to offer, and isn't afraid to go out and get it.

You can take a chance and risk being hurt emotionally (and it is a chance, because nothing in this world is certain), or you can take a chance and find something for which you may have given up on, something that will have been well worth the wait.

If you're interested in taking that chance, then I'm the man for you. Regardless of how you may perceive yourself, You will be treated with the utmost in respect, care for your feelings, and for your personal space, which is exactly how I treat all of my friends.

Whew! Sorry to be so long winded, but I felt the need to really state my position. If you agree with me, that good. If you disagree, well that's okay too.

I welcome all serious inquiries for friendships and/or relationships, and all will be treated with equal respect.

My name is Kevin, by the way. ;^)
