Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Wesley, 39 year old

Date men and women from Wesley, United States. Looking for an equal partner. that special someone, to share life with, like most people I guess. You should be friends though. I would probably have to say that I am shy. So I thought that I would give this a try. Im open minded and willing to learn. I can be flexable, but I do have responsibilities that take up some time (the usual stuff). I enjoy working as a team and would like to have a teammate someday. Naturally, I'm not looking for a good shortstop for the softball team. I've been in a long relationship, that was great. We started very young and grew apart. Chaulked it up as a learning experience. And I've been working on myself ever since. I would say that I'm fairly well educated, I've been in fighting shape and maintain it to a certain degree, and Ive focused on the financials (especially the last 7 or eight years). Financial stability was probably the hardest to achieve. I've been taking care of myself for a long time, but taking care of others was the goal. I want to be able to offer as much as possible and will continue to work hard. Anything worth having is worth working for. And my motivation is that most special person to share all that life has to offer...that very best friend, lover, equal partner, pilot/copilot....your everything.
On a more personal note. I would say that I'm a quiet man for the most part, maybe soft spoken. Don't get me wrong, I love good conversation, but you learn more when you listen. And listening is a skill. I'm generous, almost to a fault in the past. I just want to believe and trust in people. My parents are old fashioned you might say, so I have a lot of those characteristics. But I'm certainly more open minded, so it doesn't dominate my personality. I don't think that I'm a simple man, but I like a simple life.
