I'm not shy about being open about myself, and I'll answer any questions. I grew up as a midwestern fellow from Illinois. I've lived in Virginia and Arkansas, as well. I've done a lot of travelling all over the world, and I love it. I've recently returned to Vegas, and I'm getting used to the desert again. It's a wonderful place, but I doubt I'll live out my days here. My family, even extended, is very close, and I love it. My m and ethical values are a representation of a tough, single mother who insisted on her children having characters that could be respected. I hope to do as well with my own children someday, and look forward to her advice along the way. As far as meeting persons for dating, I think it's best to keep it local. But as a world traveller, I have friends everywhere. I'd love to make great friendships on here, regardless of location. You never know when/where you might be travelling, and having a great friend there is really nice. I wish you all the very best in your endeavours on here!
