 I
feel emotions very deeply. I am not afraid to express my feelings. I am very confident in who I am and what I am capable of accomplishing.
I always accomplish my goals even though the end result does not always resemble what I had in mind when I started. I love to surprise the one
I am dating with small things like flowers, fun surprises, gifts, online emails notes, etc. I love to make jokes and make people laugh, but I do not like to make jokes
at someone else's expense; that kind of joking borderlines on cruelty. I consider myself a good conversationalist. By that I mean I am good at listening
without trying to give unsolicited advice. I am a gentleman at heart. I believe ladies always come first. I believe in opening doors for women and seating
them in a restaurant. I believe that, as far as relationships go,
I'm always happiest when I put others first. I believe that when two people put the other first, the
relationship has a much better chance of success than when each person is looking out for themselves and their own happiness first.
By profession I am a photographer.
My online website is
See my website specializing in Online Wedding and
portrait Photography in Utah.
I have operated my own photography business for 22 years.
I am honest and straight forward. I do not play head games.
I really enjoy making other people laugh. I also know when to take situations seriously. I live with my 14 year old son and cat (misty)
and I keep a neat home. I think personal appearance is very important. My favorite beverage is good coffee.
I love the outdoors and I am also very comfortable at a formal affair
(after all, I am a wedding photographer!) I usually dress well. I believe in treating others with dignity and respect. I have three children
ages 16, 14 and 4 ½ (girl-boy-girl). I love to cook; however, I do not cook for myself very often. I
don't smoke,
drink, use drugs of any kind and I don't swear (except on rare occasions). I am a strong believer in Christ's teachings (Jesus was not a religious "person" and neither am I nor do I judge others).
I have lived in Utah since 1998. I moved here from Upstate, NY where I lived
for 13 years. I moved there to get a bachelors degree in professional photography. Before that, I grew up in Orlando (I received my AS degree from
Daytona State College). Before that, I lived in Palos Verdes, CA. Before that I lived in Los Alamos, NM where I was born. My father was a mathematician
for the scientific labs there. My mother and father had 9 children when they divorced in 1962. My Mother
started dating and later remarried (yes, she actually found a man
who was willing to marry a woman with 9 children! Rumor has it that his parents insisted he see a psychiatrist when he broke the news.)
After she remarried she had 4 more siblings for me. And then she adopted 2 more! Okay, do the math and close your mouth. You may not have noticed,
but your lower jaw has been dropping after you started reading this paragraph!
I am told on good authority that I understand women very well.
Speaking of which, allow me to list some qualities that I find desirable in a woman
for dating: A lady who is fit and attractive, Intelligent, Spontaneous,
Affectionate, Financially Stable, Thinks for Herself, Likes camping and the outdoors, Likes taking day trips, Un inhibited in the bedroom, non-smoker.
This ONLY is a partial list of attributes I consider important. I do not expect to find anyone with all of these attributes; however, some of them would be nice.
One last thing ladies; I am not into one-night stands or friends with
benefits so please don't go there. I need to be friends first then see how things progress. Good kissing is not an option, it is a requirement.
If you have gotten this far, congratulations, I know its a long profile.
Oh, by the way, my name is Richard and I am so tired of dating in Utah! So Please help me Stop!!!
