Hi!! I'm new to all this online dating stuff and was hoping to get some of you to rate my profile and see if im at least in the ballpark of the status quo... Any and all comments will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Lol, no, I'm just getting out of a 12 year marriage... So, I haven't had to worry about if things were clicking with a woman and it was time to move it into a more romantic stage in a long time. Even before my ex wife these things were difficult for me. I could be out with a girl I really liked and would be to worried about, "what if she isn't ready" or "what if she doesn't feel the same way"... And since I grew up with a bit old fashioned values, I think I could have missed out on something meaningful because I was to gun shy to take the chance. So I figured I would post here and get the female perspective.

I was raised to be a gentleman and treat women with the upmost respect and dignity. I have a hard time moving a relationship forward from the "just friends" to something more meaningful. This was a problem for me when I was dating last, and now after a 12 year relationship, it's pretty much impossible for me. Any ladies out there want to fill me in in how they like to see this happen? I don't lack the self confidence, I've just never been a player or had the slick moves... I figured women don't like that anyway, but given my track record, maybe I'm wrong... Any help would be great...

New to the site and figured I'd say hi! In my line of work its hard to meet people or make friends, so I'm hoping to meet some of you here...
