Just the wrong guys. Stay true, I read your profile, don't settle. You have a lot of time and a lot to offer. The right guy who appreciates you for you will come along.

Thanks

Thanks, I liked the sincerity in yours too.

Ok, here we go - I may be dreaming but I just figured I'ld be totally real, lay it out there, and see if there are ladies who share my romanticism and thoughts on a relationship. Ladies,what do you think?

Thanks for your responses. I agree with the slow and easy approach and trying to keep it as close to real life encounters as possible. I have always been more into the person than the persona but have encountered so many women who want to go to the "meeting" quickly. I guess I'll just decide that if that is their wishes then they probably are too superficial for me anyway. Does that make sense?

Seems to me that making the transition from online introduction to a relationship that flows naturally is difficult. There is always so much urgency in getting to know someone right away to determine if you are spending your time with the right person. It seems that the "meeting" becomes more of an inquisition and that it is tainted from the beginning because of each of you having had some "bad" experiences in the past. Anyone out there who has successfully made this transition and has been able to perpetuate a "real" communication and discovery with someone they met online? How did you do it? How did you get past the "surreal" and get to the "real"?

Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate the input and have eliminated 2 of the pictures and tones down some of the apparent sexuality in the profile. Once again, thanks and all the best of luck to each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Allen

A chat for Arizona singles? Pretty awesome. Hope more ladies from Phoenix and the East Valley come on and post questions. Maybe we can organize an East Valley Monthly get together so we can meet without having it to be one on one and uncomfortable for some of you ladies. If there is an interest I'll arrange for it to happen.

You're sweet - thanks. And yes, I have been told that Tim Allen looks like me LOL

Thanks, I appreciate that

Some women seem to get the wrong idea when they look at my pictures. I'm looking for a ltr and yet seems like the picture with the shirt off gets me responses from women just looking for sex. Should I take that picture off? I was only trying to show that I think its important to have a strong body and a strong mind.
