Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Frisco, 56 year old

Date people from Frisco, United States. I am a good guy, really. I am self-made, an executive in my day job and I also have a design (architectural) business which is my passion. Another passion is being a dad, which I love and probably the accomplishment in my life that I am most proud. I have great clarity about raising kids and currently writing a book about how to raise kids and the importance of the first 5 years with an emphasis on the dad’s role, and the importance of bonding and modeling. Okay, that was all so serious. On the lighter side, which is equally as important if not more, I ski, windsurf, love the beach, great food, love to see good design, from Japanese gardens to Frank Lloyd Wright to Gaudi in Spain. I love to enjoy life and i don't take it too seriously. I believe balance is everything and I don't let the little things or even most of the bigger things bother me. I am a passionate guy and love to love the one I love. Ha. I am a giver and I take care of the ones I love. I put others first. I know and believe in treating others how you would want to be treated yourself. I believe that everyone has inherent worth and dignity and everyone should be treated with civility and respect.
I would like to get married. I have been divorced since 2008 and I miss the human contact if sleeping with someone every night. I am not a player and do not want to date anyone where I do not think there is the potential for a long term relationship and marriage. I am not someone that goes out with the guys, I don't get that. I want to be with a woman that wants to be with me. Where we enjoy each other and we want to play and experience all that life has to offer together, regardless if it is the little things like cooking or cleaning the house or traveling to points unknown. I believe in a shared relationship with shared responsibility where we help each other out and make each other better. I need as you do, to be as mentally stimulated as physically stimulated. Both are very important to pieces of the puzzle in finding the needle in the haystack. Before I go I want to talk about distance. I believe that if two people find each other and love each other they will figure out a way to make things work, Maybe eventually one person moves, maybe they both move and start a new exciting chapter, somewhere different for both of them . But family is everything and if we find that one person and that person becomes family, nothing else matters, well maybe that's just me. Ha
