If your here for "one night stands" or "games", then don't even read the rest of this bio, its not for you! Thats NOT me, and NOT what I'm looking for. If you want a LTR, then please do read on, and "feel" the words here. Then you may Pry My Heart Open for more info.

I'm looking for a mate that will love me for who I am. My heart is warm, I have strong old fashion family values. She must be able to hold me and mean it from her heart. That is the way I was brought up. I am very heartfelt, hate to see kids or anyone in trouble, & feel I need to help.

I want to give this love inside me to the right woman. I'm not the "perfect" guy, but I try my best to support all. I've learned a lot over the years. The woman I seek must also have humor, a warm heart like mine, and I promise I will always make her happy she found me. Looks don't matter, its whats in her soul, heart, and brain that counts.

I work very hard at the job I have, I'm proud of myself how far I came up in my profession. I don't have tons of money, but if I had ten dollars in my pocket, I'd give you nine (the giver in my soul). I need someone that can guide me into my retirement age, and spend that retirement with her in my golden years with much love and honor.

I hate being alone, long for someone to share everything with. I have 4 sons, 2 live in Long Island, Richard (30), & Joseph (25). I don't see them much, but do talk to them on the phone. My other son Dominic (27) lives in NC and his girlfriend just gave birth to my beautiful 1st grandson Dylan. My "little" guy Danny (20) lives with me and is attending collage and working. Being that I am adopted, Dylan is extra special to me. I am the "root" of my family tree and will do anything for them.

I'm not a "player" and hate the "bars", I will never find the right woman there. So this is why I joined DateHookUp. I'm "old fashioned" in my ways with women. Love to hold hands, kissing, opening doors for her, and showing what she means to me everyday. I even make sure I walk on the curb side when we're walking together holding hands. I'm laid back, but can dress to the 9's when its time for a special evening out.

I want a woman to be able to kiss goodnight, be able to say good morning, and to look into her eyes and KNOW she is with me 100%. I've never had that. Its been a "cold" life in the past, and I'm not built that way. I'm a very warm hearted man. This time around I hope to find the woman that feels the same. Are you that person? Can you handle a man that is not ashamed to cry? Are you looking for a relationship that will last forever? Then I'm your guy. Give me a shot and if we "click" we'll know it will be a beautiful life together and forever. That I can promise her.

I've been seperated since Jan '08, split was clean, no War Of The Rose's. The relationship died, and its something we both felt we needed to do. I filed for divorce, papers just need to be signed. Time has passed, and a recon is not in our future. Time to move on with life. Questions? Ask.

In July '06 at work I had a stroke, & when they did a brain scan, they found an anurisum on the right side of my brain. I look at it this way, Thank God I had the stroke, or they wouldn't have found the anurisum. It has all been corrected by coiling, and haven't felt as strong as I am now in my whole life. There are no ill effects whatsoever! With all the great news all my Doctors have told me 99.9% wellness, I know that my life will be for the better. God has given me a 2nd chance to get it right this time, and I will NOT take advantage of that.

Thats about it. You have it all here to read and hope I pass your "tests".
