New to this Dating thing HELP !!!!

well this is all a new experience to me.Just a little bit daunting to have picture and your private honest details for the world to see. oh well lets hope everyone is on here for the same reasons. never thought i would ever be on a dating site or that i would ever entertain the thought that it is at all possible to find that special someone on line. i'm a hands on type of guy. love to look, taste and experience life and all beautiful things in it. my grown up children have encouraged me to try this as i am alone and they think its time to find my soul mate. i've been told from my friends that i'm a really funny guy. I try not to take things too serious. However when I need to,I will. i'm very generous, affectionate and romantic. i work hard and look after myself. love to cook for friends and family. in saying that i also love dining in restaurants.i'm also a non smoker. Love dinners, red wine , love love MUSIC all types, cooking, bbq's, Family, romancing my girl, want my girl to be my best friend before my Lover.
