I like the idea of a long term relationship, but I holding out for someone special, "I want it to be with my best". That may be asking for to much? I am 43, 6'1" tall with an average/athletic build. I am into mountain biking, skiing, love the water in the summer, tennis, softball, ice skating and long walks (so does my dog) and many other outdoor activities. I like concerts, theater, shows, and movies. Did I mention that I am a season ticket holder to the Seahawks??? .

I have been working for the same company for 20 years and would say that I am financially secure. I have held many different titles over the past 20 years. In my youth I worked in a Steel mill as a machine operator, I did the construction thing for a while, framing to finishing, and have done a great deal of painting... A regular "Jack of all trades", lol...

I have owned two homes, but unfortunately lost them both. One to an ex-girlfriend and the other to an ex-wife. I have fully recovered from the financial and emotional deficit that was a result but have yet to buy again so I am renting a nice apartment in the Greenlake/Ballard area of Seattle.

I would like a relationship with "a special someone". I am not looking for a woman that doesn't know a relationship takes devotion to each other 100% of the time. I would like to meet someone who wants to share life, all of it. If you can go from jeans to a dress, tennis shoes to heels and are comfortable in both we are on the right track. I love a woman in thigh highs!!! I am drawn to woman who are naturally sexy, smart and playful. I long for a woman that desires to find a best friend to share all of life's ups and downs, wants a long term "life" relationship, not the jealous type, likes good humor, is sensual and loving. I definitely want more than a sex partner, but I do think a good and healthy sex life is a crucial part of the foundation for a strong relationship. Open communication and trust as well as the belief that a relationship means giving and receiving are equally as important.
