The Dating Game

I "met" someone on Match.com and we talked yesterday for a couple of hours. I didn't cry this time. In fact, I was cracking up the whole time. His major pluses are:

• Certified Rescue Scuba Diver
• Former Landscaper
• Former Hang Gliding instructor
• Sings - he sang a couple of jazzy songs on the phone to me
• Realtor
• But MOST IMPORTANTLY -----He's a PRINCE FAN!!!!!!!!!

Here's his profile from Match. We're going out to dinner tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Here's who I am in no particular order: a multi-instrumentalist, I sing, play guitar, bass and hand drums as well. I like to write music and record it in my home studio. I love to go dancing, especially to hip-hop or salsa. I am a homeowner, professional, hardworking and hard playing man. I'm a very straightforward kind of guy and have all my communication skills intact - Looking for the same thing in a woman. When I'm not working, I'm pretty laid back and very slow to anger, although I never hesitate to stand up for myself, my ideals, or those who are weaker. I love nature and animals, have a really cool cat who I've trained to shake paws. I love hiking, and can hike for miles, but don't expect you to. I live in an area where there's lots of wild life and great hiking opportunities. I have a green thumb and love planting and transforming my garden. I've spent years practicing various martial arts, but have not had to whoop ass since 7th grade. I'm a little rusty, but maybe when I retire I'll have time to practice again. I'm in excellent shape and exercise regularly. I'm a gentleman, a romantic, and a man of integrity. I try to always remember my connection to my higher self/god/whatever you call it. Meditation, deep breathing and nature always help. I believe in karma and always trying to be positive to others. I surround myself with positive people who are a good influence on me. I've traveled around the country and around the world and cherish the diversity that the bay area has to offer. I've been through massage school and my fingers have x-ray vision to find the tension in your back. I'm like a multi-faceted gemstone, and you'll just have to discover the rest!
