Hi
My name is Ben. I'm 34 and recently divorced and I have a 3 year old son who lives most of the time with his mother.I'm not looking to be all serious after a couple dates, but I'm interested in getting to know new people and seeing what develops.

I love the feeling of being over come by such a genuine moment that I cant hold back a cheesy smile. I like rain when the sun is shining. I like to spend 2 hours drinking a bottle of wine while getting lost in conversation. I like hikes in the mountains when the weather is just warm enough to smell everything in the air. I like making SMORES in the fireplace.
I like jelly more than peanut butter. I like the beach, but not the ocean. I like Shaggy not Scobby.

I’ve crashed motorcycles.
I’ve showered outside.
I’ve been an artist, even sold a painting.
I've seen sun sets that made me stop the car.
I am NOT; critical, judgmental, insecure, dependent, pessimistic, intolerant, cynical or over dramatic.

I want to be with the right person for the right reasons.

I want to look into the eyes of a woman and feel as though I have entered a universe only dreamed of. I want to kiss her lips, taste the wine we've been drinking, and be launched into a moment of unbridled passion.

I'm looking for someone who finds herself interesting. Someone who has a new story to tell, and can show me something I haven't seen. I like a woman who is confident, intelligent, independent, and open minded. Honesty and trust are key factors, and essential building blocks of a relationship.

Have you worked hard to get where you are?
Do you feel that you deserve to be treated well and with respect?
Do you want intelligent conversation and passion in your life?
