he is writing from match - here is his profile:

Hi, first, I must say that I am very family oriented. Family is very important to me. I am a high energy person. I like to do things that keep me busy. I usually dont like to sit and watch TV. I like to workout, bike ride, ice skate, play tennis, take yoga. go to concerts. I played ice hockey in college. I also enjoy watching some sports. Fitness is very important to me. I workout 5 days a week at the gym. I used to take yoga 3 times a week. I also eat very healthy. I like to cook healthy meals at home. But I do like cake! I was a Police Officer for 8 years when I first relocated to the Boca Raton area after college. I later became a massage therapist and personal trainer for 8 years. I am now involved in real estate. I work for a big residential company and am also involved in a family real estate business involving rental properties in New york City. Music is my second biggest love. I love to dance, go to outdoor concerts, and shows. I love R&B, jazz, the oldies. Almost any motown. I am a soulful person. I was a drummer growing up so anything with a good beat I like! I am sympathetic and empathetic. I am also very passionate. I love movies. I even took acting lessons at one time. I am a hard worker. If I set my mind to do something I dont stop until I am finished. I usually like to do things that most people would never think of doing. For example, a train ride to Miami just for fun. I like to walk the beach in the evening or at night. I have a hammock and there is nothing more relaxing then laying on the hammock and looking up at the stars in the night sky. I also love the ocean. I usually take a cruise every year to places like Cozumel, Belize, Grand Caman, San Juan, St Thomas, St Marteen. I just really love life! Im looking for a women who has some of what I just described! She should be soulful and passionate like me. Family oriented and have a good heart. Energetic and active. sexy and sweet. And honesty is high on my list. Just be honest! Why cant people do that! Life is to short for lies. And one more thing. She has to love to cuddle while watching a movie!! I believe in fate. And love is the strongest force in the universe!

That is why if you go back to online dating you better post your profile here so we can overanalyze it for you - kind of like giving it the once over dusting and polishing - you would be the belle of the ball on OLD when we were done!!

I think that is the hallmark of women - to over analyze. Whereas men want to see what you look like!!

I do think it is important to meet in person - but I definitely won't bother if I see or hear things I really don't like in advance. Like for instance - snakes for pets!! Or wheelchair rugby? Or a huge basketball belly? Or weird religions? Or odd sexual behaviors?? LOL!!

The thing to see is if he respects my sleeping hours - or does he keep me up all night rambling about bla bla bla for 2 hours the way MA did? This could be his hallmark moment!! LOL!! But I was quick to insert my own hours -as he did.

"I just read a study that says men need less sleep. Oh how true! Plus it's usually us who is up at the crack of dawn getting 100 things done before the sun comes up. "

Okay - he wrote something funny about the chicken schedule. And then said that is only one thing that he hopes will have many more in common and asked if I like red wine or chocolate. So I said yes but what I really like is someone who believes in going slow and getting to really know each other first.

And to that he said - okay we can hopefully have just one date next week with a glass of red wine.

He is supposed to call tonight. So will keep you posted.

Okay girls, and Markster, I have a date with this one. I will dub him the NewYorker because he is from NY and that is what pops in my head and is easy to type.

We have been playing telephone tag until this afternoon when we got to speak. He is okay on the phone - very outgoing and upbeat. He was interested in me and sort of asked me a lot of serious questions - I think he wanted to make sure I don't have an evil x - and that is okay I guess because I don't and my x has been on very good behavior lately. Otherwise NY was nice.

So, we have a date for Thursday. We are going to meet for a glass of wine.

And you know girls, now that we have all exchanged so many stories, I laugh to myself a lot when I think of them. Because the minute he said wine I thought of rlch and her engineer date for Saturday and I almost giggled out loud. And then when he said he would call Thursday during the day to confirm I thought of Cat who loves good communication. And then he made another comment about going to the gym and I thought of Mark. Dear heavens, I have been spending too much time on this board - but that is a good thing!! LOL!!!!!

Whoo hoo! Have a great time meeting NY. As for him asking about the evil x factor- I would take that as his experience with someone who must have had serious x baggage or even an x who is still too involved, and he's screening that out.


Can't wait for the update. I think it's cool that you "bring us along" in your thoughts!! :o)

Thanks!! I am going to put on a PacSunny attitude and look at the positives. I was trying to think that must be a good question because he is looking for a good relationship.

Yeah, I would think so! He's serious enough to actually care about that and that's a good sign. Got my fingers crossed for ya!
