Chris 57: Speed dating service in Ridgefield

Description:

I am just a guy that grew up bouncing between the United States and Europe. Traveled the world, fought for my country, got most of the craziness out of my system and really want to put down roots, just don't have a better half yet. A chef by craft- which means you need to let me cook for you, once in awhile. Creative, love to laugh, camp, rock/mountain climb, fish- anything that is out in the country, hate golf, love baseball, kids & soccer, get whacky when I'm tired, don't take myself too seriously, "they" tell me I'm not too hard on the eyes (at least when the lights just right!) and I'm educated enough to know that common sense means more these days than anything I learned in school. I seem to gravitate to long term relationships. Had a couple of the 5 year kind- so I'm no monk or crazy biker! Not that I look for anything but a partner and friend that I love spending time with. I just haven't super-glued myself to one yet. I still believe in chivalry and romance.

For anyone else, it's always the smile and eyes of a woman that initially attracts me. Superficial? Maybe . Pretty eyes and a stunning smile do it every time. I might settle for a mischievous grin, as long as your eyes sparkle when you do. Being able to become my best friend will keep me after the eyes and smile. Confidence in who you are and what you stand for are essential. Content of character and ability to carry on an intelligent conversation are most important. I manage over 200 people, so I know and value the importance of communication- good and bad. My ideal woman would be equally captivating in the woods with a backpack & skis or at my side at a black-tie dinner. Be ready and willing to travel. Please know that children are not an impediment. I love them. I just don't get to spend enough time with my n
