Basic Information
| Self Description | | Describe myself?
I don't dare say that I am all these things. I just try to be.
Spiritual like a good Catholic, Simple, Truthful, Sensitive, Generous, Patient, Non-violent, Sadder-but-wiser, Hard-working, Creative, Articulate, Artistic, Musical, Intellectual, Mechanical/Handy, Athletic, and Passionately Romantic!
Things I gladly choose to do:
Going to church, Reading, Spending time with people I love (including my seven children, Surprising my mate with unexpected tokens and gestures (flowers, love notes, etc.), Being smiled at and spoken to with kindness, Teaching school, Spending time in the mountains, Seeing trees turn color in the Fall, Watching violent storms, Watching good movies, Writing, Singing, Playing the guitar, Listening to good music, Looking at good art, Learning foreign languages, Volunteering at the local Outreach Center, Cooking, Restoring old or broken objects, Giving gifts, Making peace after a fight, Stepping out of the confessional after a good spiritual bath, Bicycle riding, Admiring the sky, Observing butterflies and birds and other wild creatures, Hunting rocks, Climbing trees, Gardening, Mowing the lawn (on foot), Working with a powerful tractor, Welding, Caring for and riding horses, Fishing, Swimming, Hiking, Carving pumpkins, Doing every kind of metal and wood work, Running a construction project with a good crew, Judging student contests, Lecturing, Mechanical drawing, Story telling, Preaching, Making a new friend, Having someone I can trust and believe in, Feeling respected and loved, Coming to the rescue in a crisis, Having a task go smoothly and successfully (e.g., repairing an urgently needed vehicle)...and I suppose there are other things that will come to mind later...but wait...I think I just remembered one more thing: BEING A HAPPILY MARRIED MAN!
"Bad Qualities":
There are things that I am not proud of and I continue to struggle with:
Procrastination, Discouragement, Doubt, Fear of failure, Lack of trust in God, Guilt and shame over past failures (i.e., being reluctant to forgive myself), Judgmentalism, Proneness to retreat into silence when a relational conflict arises.
I am sometimes guilty of: Assuming the worst, Thinking too much, Neglecting communication with friends and family members, Speaking ill of people I am in conflict with, Being irresponsible with money, Not going to confession often enough...and Getting depressed over the notion that I will probably never find a new wife and never have another chance to be a husband because I imagine that I'm not good enough for any good woman to want me. But I know I can and will be a good husband. I just can't do it alone. (By the way, my annulment process is nearing the home-stretch.)
After more than five years of being divorced, I've come to the conclusion (a very "Biblical" conclusion) that it is not good for this man to be alone. If there is a woman out there who doesn't like being alone any more than I do, I hope she'll call or write to me. (I've been having nothing but trouble trying to do this with a computer. Maybe the old-fashioned way is better.)
Or, if you want to get a bigger picture and a lot more info about this lonely fellow traveler, you can read the book: A Prodigal Catholic Returning by C.J. Thor, available at bookstores or from Amazon.com.
I will be delighted and honored to receive a sincere response to my invitation to explore our future possibilities. Thank you and God bless you! |

| Idea Of Fun | | (Please refer to my self-description.) I enjoy many simple pleasures, both outdoor and indoor, loud and quiet, serious and silly. A good time spontaneously happens when we are at peace with ourselves, God and others, in good health, in a happy state of mind and together with someone we love. As a specific example, I would say that my idea of a very good time is being alone with my wife, with the house to ourselves and the same thing on both our minds. Fun doesn't get much better than that! |

| Idea Of A Great Time | | Trying New Things |
| Our First Date | | Wandering around one or the other's hometown, talking a lot, being spontaneous, giving each other a chance to put our best foot forward and be charming in the midst of moving and changing surroundings. The day could certainly include a meal together, and perhaps even some church. |
| Always Wanted To Try | | Being a monk. And I did try for four years to do so. It took me four years to realize, beyond a doubt, that I could not live with the vow of celibacy. I was made to have a mate. |

Looking for
| Attracted To | | Thoughtfullness |
| Looking For | | I want a woman (wife) that doesn't believe in spouses competing, lying to each other, flirting with others, judging rashly, and so on (all the things that nobody likes). I want a wife who is physically pretty and happy with the way she looks (not insecure or self-critical). I want a lover who has a healthy lust and appetite for sex, and can make love-making fun and joyful, before, during and after. I want a wife who will make up her mind and not change it down the road. I want a wife who loves children and knows how to demonstrate it. I want a wife who values intellectual pursuits and enjoys having serious conversations. I want a wife who will be happy to get involved in charitable activities. I want a wife who knows how to laugh and play. I want a soul-mate. |
