I am a busy man. Serious only please.

Rumi once said, "No one can make you happy, unless you're happy with yourself first." - I am a well grounded, confident but down-to-earth Italian man living in Canada. I have strong Family values, a man of my word, kind, compassionate, loving and supportive. But I am also a natural leader, a real man, the rock to my woman, I will support and help her achieve her dreams. I take pleasure in the simple things and genuine people. I'm positive, I love life; I'm artistic and romantic. I enjoy deep meaningful conversations. I like spontaneity; as such, I might surprise you on a random day and for no reason at all, with a beautiful rose. YOU are my reason! I believe the key to a forever relationship is to start as best-friends first; for what is the point to be married to someone but have someone else as your best-friend? I am a very busy man and I am not here for fun, thus, I will only reply to intelligent-mature messages. My special Lady is intelligent, honest, classy, positive, down to earth but a sophisticated mind, and of course attractive to my eyes. And above all, she has a very deep, good, genuine heart. If that's you, I'd love to hear from you. And finally, I'm a Spiritual non-religious man, but I will always honor my partner's faith - whatever it may be. P.S. As an Italian, in my culture age variation of up to 20 years is not uncommon; however, I will only consider those within the 47-57 age group. A kind thank you.
