I have passion for life and the outdoors. I regularly organise social trips into our magnificent wilderness from hiking to dinning out. I’m born and bread in NQ but don't get any preconceptions of beer and eskies. I can't stand red necks. I'm at that age when life in clubs/pubs is repetitive and I simply want the chance of a partnership with a sweet woman and I’m willing to humble myself and go on the net. Pubs & clubs have produced the odd miracle story of people falling in love, but lets fast track the sometimes heartbreaking barroom selection process. I'm a nice guy, nice guys get burnt, that's my story. I've been in long-term relationships before and find myself dusting off again. I've always had a vision of a beautiful partnership with a kind, funny, intelligent woman but every year it gets harder to believe this is predetermined by fate. 2004 is the year to take over the auto control and give fate some help. Perhaps I'll find someone in the same situation, but you have to be sweet, yes I'm as tough as the next hero, but I'm not afraid of hugging in public. I'm into exercise on a daily basis, red arrow (walking track in Edge Hill), gym, canoeing and bushwalking. I work for the Federal Gov and get weekends off and flexitime. I have a house under renovation in Whitfield with a cat and no kids. I’m too nice for my own good, strong, very romantic and attentive.
