Introduction

Greetings,

My name is Ray and I want to thank you for taking the time to read my Profile. :-)

I've been searching for a love that was meant to be, a love divine you might even say. I believe in faith and that it will guide me to find that special "one." A Lady with class and substance. I also believe that romance is important in a relationship as much as devotion and loyalty. I love the idea of drives down the coast and weekend getaways. Stormy nights and lazy Sunday afternoons. Holding hands and gazing into eyes a reflected sunset. Just the simple things in life that's best shared with that someone special. I love movies and music! Foreign Films are my Fav! I won't admit this to anyone but I like chick flicks. Sad huh?? I love the movie "Il Postino." Music wise I'll listen to just about anything. I tend to listen more to Big Band swing, Bossa Lounge, Alternative and artists like Sade. I also love 80's new wave. Big bonus if you've heard of Barcelona Tribe or Nicola Conte'. What else do I like to do... lemme see... Oh yes I love going to see the summer plays!! I also like to go biking. Exploring the Bay Trails. My hobbies include photography, camping and hiking, though I'll leave the climbing for the mountain goats :) One last thing before I rap this up, I'd love to go back to Italy one day and travel the Amalfi coast and see the Cinque-Terre. Maybe we can share a frulati?

Qualities I seek...
Positive out look in life.
Humorous and down to earth.
Has traditional family values.
Who's loving and caring.
Someone I can RESPECT.
Must have Chemistry!
Healthy and drug free.
Wants to have kids.

If you feel that we might make a good match, that we could be, dare I say, soul mates then email me. Tell me about yourself and if you have a pic to share that would be great! Let's get to know each other more and let the adventure begin...

Essays

What I'd like to do on a first date...
Take a drive down the coast then go to a nice restaurant for dinner and watch the sunset. Basically just getting to know and enjoy each other's company.
To me, being a Catholic means...
It's more than a religion to me, it's who I am and what I believe in! It's a way of life.
My favorite Bible passage is...
It's not from the Bible, but a quote from St. Teresa. "I Began to Think of the Soul as if it Were a Castle Made of a Single Diamond..." ´`³¤³´`Teresa of Avila´`³¤³´`
One final thing I'd like to mention...
A Quote from Pearl Jam: I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?
