Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I have to have two hundred characters for this to be approved. I will add this later if I decide to stay on here. I am really hesitant about the online dating thing, but I have had limited success with it in the past. I have not dated much the past few months due to my work load. More to follow.

Meet people from Alabama, United States. Okay maybe "unbelievable" is a bit of an overstatement - But hey in the words of Stuart Smalley - "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and - by golly people like me."

I am definitely a half-full kinda guy. I love life and see it as an adventure! I am not talking about just the extraordinary situations; I am talking about the mundane as well. Every moment is a new horizon for me. When I walk in the grocery store I am excited about who I might see or meet. When I travel, the world unfolds and shows me even more possibilities. I love to laugh, learn, explore, play, and make a difference in the lives of others. I'll try anything at least once as long as it doesn't require me to be high in the air for an extended period of time. I'm not really scared of heights - just falling!
While I am open to anything, I do not think you have to spend a lot of money to have a good time. Truly I am more content sitting on a mountain side painting, taking a walk on the beach with someone I care about, or hosting a game/movie night with friends than clubbing or going to a five star restaurant. Not that I would never do those things... it just isn't necessary.
I do not take myself too seriously and I prefer to be with others who feel the same way. I choose to be pleasant rather that controlling. One of my favorite movie quotes is:
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be... oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”
-Elwood Dowd- from "Harvey
In my experience it is hard to argue with being pleasant!
I love most creative ventures - I love to draw, paint, play guitar, and sing. I would like to learn to dance - but presently that is not one of my gifts. I am also a bit of a technology nerd – I love tinkering on and in computers.
My faith is very important to me. Time for another one of my favorite quotes:
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
-C. S. Lewis
My faith is the basis for my entire view of life. It is why I choose joy everyday. I believe God has a hand in our lives and He directs us where we need to go if we allow Him to. He has blessed me immeasurably. I have a great family, a job that I love, and the opportunity each day to make a difference in the lives of children. (I am an elementary school principal) Don't get me wrong.. there are still days that I would like to be an astronaut or a Navy Seal - but then that whole "repelling from a helicopter" or "orbiting the planet" thing, might tap on my fear of falling. I will say, however that there have been many days that the principalship seems a little like a land assault.
I guess I am looking for someone who loves God, loves to laugh and has the same lust for life that I have.
I would hope that her sense of adventure comes from inside and is not dependent on her circumstances or any other person.
I would want her to be open minded and willing to allow people to follow their faith where it leads them. I typically do not enjoy being with people who feel that they have all the answers. I know that I don’t.
One last quote, I promise:
"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'." - Beverly Clark, Shall We Dance
I am not necessarily looking for someone to marry but the idea of sharing time with another person and being a witness to their life (temporarily or permanently) is exhilarating to me.

Date single man from Alabama, United States. Divorced for over eight years, I'm still very gun shy. It seems that the people whom I've become involved with have had more issues than the magazine rack at Barnes and Noble (that's a joke...please laugh!) I've got a wonderful daughter, and the two weekends a month that she's with me, she takes absolute priority. I guess if you can't handle that, you probably don't need to look further.
When my daughter's not with me, I spend a lot of time watching TV, surfing the internet, and listening to music. My interests are fairly varied. Although I'm one of the biggest klutzes in the world, I'm a big sports fan. I enjoy watching college football (War Eagle!), and I was a die-hard Braves fan before it became cool to be a Braves fan. My music tastes are all over the band, but I'm a big fan of '60's, '70's and early '80's music...all the stuff I grew up listening to. Music is a big part of my life; my undergrad and graduate degrees were both in music, although I'm not doing anything professionally with either degree.

Meet someone special from Alabama, United States. I was married for 26 years. Am not sure I am ready for that again yet. However if chemisty is right.....? Looking for a woman who bekieves in old fashion ways. While she is independant she enjoys having a man romance and care for her. Open doors and protect her in a crowd and things like that. Hopefully this will not come across the wrong way but since it played a big part in the collapse of my last marrage I want to try to be honest here. I want a classy woman by day but a lady at night who is not afraid to get out there a little. PS lady's....I am the one on the left! hehehehehehe
