My job is stable, a teacher, which means I am sane, which could be a perception, and conviction free. I'm going on year 23, a second career for me.

Prior careers were Wall Street and Director of IT positions in Manhattan and NJ.

Financially secure. Debt free, Mortgage free.

Love to read, travel, and equally spend time at home.

Easy going, have a lot of patience, and many say a good listener. Great sense of humor, and all that meet me say very easy to talk to.

I enjoy showing affection, and should you earn my loyalty and trust, it is your right to be put on a pedestal.

Caring, compassionate, sincere, logical, rational, and genuine could be other adjectives to describe me. My word is my bond. Promises are always kept.

Genetics, 100 percent Italian, 2nd generation. I firmly believe blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family. Earn my trust, and my loyalty is yours forever.

I love to cook and bake and as a hobby roast my own coffee. I may add clean up as I cook, so minimal mess. My female colleagues simply shake their heads and define me as self-sufficient.

The small stuff is remembered. I enjoy bringing home and sending flowers for no reason. Going to the grocery store, seeing my significant other's favorite candy bar and getting it for her.

I adore cats and have indoor ones. Pets are family and mine even have health insurance. People who visit are shocked they live here; you only know if you see them. With that said, I am beyond neat, clean, and organized.

Alcohol, I enjoy, beer and do drink some Brandy, Port, and other "hard" items on an occasional basis.

NJ is home, and GA since 2000. I still have all the Jersey in me. Throw in some say a typical NJ/NY accent.

Kid adopted one from DFCS, who is now 27 thus does not define her as one.

I would like to find someone who is compassionate, kind, and affectionate. One enjoys travel, day trips, or just staying at home on a weekend and watching a movie. A person who is a good listener. I can go on, but you get the idea. I my standards are not high in my mind, just be a decent human.

Many say I do not look my age or act it. Age is all how you feel and only a number.

Live life, have fun, and one only has a set time around the sun. My goal is to be like the 2,000-year-old man cartoon by Mel Brooks.
