Date men from United States / California / Running Springs, 48 year old

Date single man from Running Springs, United States. "I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when we're together!"
The Movement that is me...
... Falling in love is easy; relationships require effort and the 3 C's: Commitment, Communication, and Collaboration. Effective communication will improve any and every aspect of a relationship. Just talk it out.
... Standing still is the same as moving backwards. If I am not moving forward every day, no matter how slow or unsure, then I am not progressing. I strive daily to be a person of excellence, to be the best leader I can be, both professionally and personally.
... I have never cheated on a woman in my life... EVER!! And I never will... I respect women (and myself) too much.
... I would rather have emotional intimacy over physical intimacy. And guess what? It will make the physical that much more intense. But I don't believe in casual sex... Physical intimacy without emotional intimacy is... Empty.
... I like to take it slow, court a woman; get to know her, one lovely step at a time. I mean, I have waited my entire life for you, why do I need to rush it now? Either it is meant to be or it is not. Let's take our time and enjoy it.
... I am not the strong, silent type. I am strong, but very communicative. I will respect my feelings... And yours!
... This suit of armor gets heavy. I put on my armor to face the world, to deal with all that it is thrown at me. I have been described as motivating, intense, and engaging. But sometimes, the motivator needs motivating, the strong need strength. I don't mind driving in a relationship, but sometimes I will need you to take the wheel, and drive for a while. I don't want someone behind me or in front of me, but by my side, supporting one another. In an effective relationship, when things are rough, one needs to do the thinking, when the other is feeling.
... I am not perfect, nor do I strive for perfection... That is too stressful. I am a work in progress. I am a better man today than I was yesterday, and I hope to be a better man tomorrow.
... I have preferences, like we all do, but I come from a place of possibility and do not allow boundaries to define me or my life. Race, Nationality, Ethnic Origin, or Color are not of paramount importance to me. Neither is shape or size or distance. Who you are and what your stand for carry far more weight.
... I am marriage-minded. I know what I want and what I need. If I don't know that by now, then I have not been paying attention! Dating is just practice for your ultimate soul mate!
The Movement that is you:
-Sense of humor a must
-Confident...if you don't love yourself, how can you love others?
-Low maintenance, drama free, & down to earth
-A music lover; all genres: Hip Hop, Jazz, House, R&B, Rock
