Ericshep, 58

I am a writer and I write novels and hoping to be a high school teacher to pass down my knowlodge in the near future. Right now i am writting a series titled whats behind the looking glass and so far have writen three complete novels and working on my forth in the series and some poetry that i use in my novels. I'd be glad to email a personal link from writers cafe.

When I am not writting I am reading novels. I love to cook and was a chef for 15 years and spent the last 12 years as a manager in several restaurants by the same owner in my area. When I am doen right bored, i play vido games, but they don't control my life.

When it's warm and the sun is out, i like to paint and draw landscapes and sometimes people. I love animals cats,dogs and horses are my favorite and consider them apart of the family.

I hate fishing and sports, but love to camp regardles and the outdoors. Yet if I kids i would go to every game and suport them regardles and any event they are in.

I am alittle old fashion and a bit of a romantic (yes i still open the door for girls and walk them to thier door.)

I love candle light dinners in strange places like a rooftop or inside an elevators) I love books and love to discus them, including mine which i very big on. Movies and Bowling rock my world, but most of all i like to curl up and talk the night away.

I am told i am a good listener and good friend to have around. Life is too short to be alone and i really feel its time to settle down and met someone (curves and all makes a little more to love)

When it comes to metting new people i am little shy at first , but my walls do crumble with a simple smile.

if you like me as is so far I would love to chat.

I am looking for someone that is open and trueful and cares more about others than themselves. I also wants some that not afraid to show their dark side. loves to cook and who is not a clean freek but not messy either. and other things that will come up on date or a c
