Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Apache Junction, 43 year old

Date people from United States. When asked how my friends and family would describe me, I will laugh and say "Warm heart, cold feet". This was actually from a shirt one of my friends bought me years ago. Yes I live in Arizona, but I get cold more than most, hard to believe I was born and raised in Chicago. I also think they would describe me as responsible, honest, caring, and trustworthy. I love animals and have respect for all living creatures. I was raised in a traditional Catholic family but I am not one that feels you must attend church to have faith. I try to live by the motto, "Treat others as you want to be treated" and I truly believe in this. I have learned that there are some people that may take advantage of me because of this and that is ok as that is their personal choice and they will need to live with that. I am a "down to earth person" who does not mind getting a pedicure once in a while. I am close with my family and was happy when they relocated to Arizona with me. I have a few close friends that I have known for many years and they know I would do most anything for them. I am normally a bit quiet until I get to know somebody and then my sense of humor begins to surface. I do use humor a lot in my life to lighten up tense situations, to try and make others feel good when they are down, and just to have a good time. I am looking for someone who shares some of my same values and who is looking for a meaningful relationship and/or meaningful friendship. I know not everyone I will meet will be this person but I do believe one can never have too many friends.... Life is too short to waste.
