Looking for Someone Family Oriented I am very friend and family oriented and have traditional values. I am looking for someone the same.
I am very easy to get along with, have a great sense of humor and love to laugh and goof around. I am often somewhat shy until I get to know people. I believe in compromise and always try to look at things from the perspective of others.

I love to be at home but I also like going to all kinds of events. I love to dress casual but feel equally comfortable dressed up. I love most types of music and go to a lot of concerts. I like all Chicago sports teams and enjoy going to any of their games. I also like NASCAR and going to races. I go to the movies once a week and enjoy dining out. I can pretty much have fun almost anywhere if I am with good company.

An ideal partner for me is someone who is typically funny and can keep me laughing but also knows when to be serious. He is someone who likes to have fun and enjoys many activities whether they involve staying home or going out. He keeps up with current events and can talk about pretty much anything.

I am very close to my family and friends, and I would like to find someone who is easy-going enough that he can fit right in with most anyone. He likes to be with me, but he can also be independent and does not mind if I go out with my girlfriends either. I find it healthy for a relationship when both people are loyal and trustworthy enough that neither minds when the other goes out for an evening with their own friends.

Family and friends are the center of his life, but he also maintains focus on his job/career and is financially responsible. He can take things slow and have fun but he can also look ahead and see a life with his own family one day.

I have been very fortunate that my parents have been married for 40 years and I hope to know how that feels someday. I am grateful for the life that I have, and I am especially thankful for my great family and friends. But I also enjoy meeting new people.
