looking for my real love one..

About Me: am new at on-line dating. It has been sort of odd trying to communicate via system. I am a very happy person and not content being alone. But I do feel having a special person to share my life with would enhance it. Most of my life I have been in long term relationships. The lady I had relationship with was great wife who was committed to me always and with time changing the relations didn’t work out for a variety of reasons, bad timing, different and conflicting life styles and immaturity. It all ended on a positive note. I think the way you communicate with your partner is so important. In my past relationship we strived to always be conscious of how we communicated with each other even when we were having a disagreement. I haven't been in a relationship for quite a few years. I took a break from relations because I was grieving because of the loss of my wife.She was the type every goal oriented, and finacially secure man will need by her side. It took me a while to be at peace with it. I had wonderful caring,loving,supportive,giving,truthful,beautiful,nice and sincere. I was raised in Germany. I am the youngest in my family; have brother and a sister... My brother ,sister and I get together for the holidays or just to visit a few times a year they all live in Germany now...We really enjoy each others company. My parents taught me the importance of being a caring and loving person...On a daily basis I try and practice this principal... As my profile states I am a self employed I export and import golds and diamonds ,also I have done years of sales and marketing volunteer work as a way to express it and also for personal growth...Because of the demands of my job I haven’t done any volunteering in the last few years. But I hope to again sometime in the future. I am always working on myself to become a better person and to remain sensitive to others ,specially to my son. Am really proud of my son,he's just 17 years of age and at the university of stanford. I am blessed with being emotionally strong and assertive person. I often see others who are not and I try whenever possible to help or encourage others to help raise their self esteem . My job is very demanding and alot of the time pretty stressful. I’m not telling you all this thinking you will be so impressed, but just that this job is so much a part of my life and I want you to know what I do have been working at this Golds job for about 9 years. I like living in Ohio because my family and friends are here but I have had thoughts of moving to a more picturesque area. In the mid 1990 I moved for a year to Ohio. I got offered a job and they paid to relocate me. I went to try it out and to add a little adventure into my life. It was so beautiful up there but it was so isolated and the climate is so harsh. Also there is a lot of racism up there against the Inuit people and that really bothered me. Alaska's does not have a very cosmopolitan environment after living in California. It was too redneck for me. I have thought of moving to Oregon, Washington or California or another rural environment but finally found myself here in Ohio. I do like having weather and a cleaner environment. I don’t mind rain or a little snow. I would not mind living by a lake or river in a midsize town. But I could go either way about moving some day . Generally I am kind of a home body and I love to have great fun, laugh, and kid around. I think it's a pleasant way to be, and makes for a good life. I enjoy all kinds of things that I like to do with my special one such as picnics with friends, beaches, cozzy restuarants, parks, theatre, movies, cooking, shopping, music, warm conversations, hugging, sunsets, nature, etc. I also have interests in cooking and gardening etc. I have a very warm and compassionate heart and a passion for life in general. I am seeking my one and only woman to share our souls together. One who will be mylove, my world and my greatest joy. Peace,Joy,Happiness we will share together.. I am extremely serious about screening any woman I will come across. I need a mature woman with a spiritual life to creat a family life with . But I do like to go out every few weeks, to go to a movie, hear some live music or get together with friends. I love being with people. I am independent and hope to meet someone who is flexible and will accommodate my independent nature. I am willing to compromise and take all aspect of roles but I am looking for a woman that will be willing to share some of the duties and also will respect my point of view, as I will respect her. I think that it is important for both people in a relationship to be able to lean on each other when needed. I’m not saying that I don’t like to be taken care of and nurtured, I do, but I think that both people should do that. I think that both people can be strong at times .For sometime life was very stressful but by Gods grace everything is cool with me now ,am always happy for building what i have always wanted. In many ways I feel more at peace with my life and with myself than I ever have before. I am looking forward to learning more about you. Please tell me about yourself, your family, your interests and passions.
