Looking for a genuine partner to build a family together

I’m a hands-on father to a 14 year old son, who has shaped me in the best ways. I have always been a family man and, since my son will leave to go to university in less than 4 years, I am looking for a lady with whom to be a family of our own. I enjoy witty conversations, travel, staying active, and the simple pleasure of feeling at home with the right person. I’m optimistic by nature, calm under pressure, and happiest when life has both meaning and laughter (even if the latter involves self-deprecating jokes!) I believe that the more you give to a relationship, the more you get back.
