I really enjoy going out to dinners, clubs, films/theaters, museums, and basically any social event in the city. I my strongest qualities are that I am a loyal friend, a good listener, and a respectful person. I am articulate and am not afraid to stand up for myself and for those who cannot. I believe in charity, faith, romance, responsibility, and my family and friends. I try to be an honest, rational, thoughtful, and perceptive self-actualized person. I'm an extrovert who enjoys laughing, and can handle myself in any social situation; I can speak intellectually and frankly with kings or commoners. I'm looking for a cultured, sophisticated, but FUN professional Italian-American, such as myself--I'm a HS teacher--who would be as comfortable going out dancing as he would be going to the opera. I am looking for a person who has confidence and class; who's enjoys going to the opera or out dancing. Of course, CHARACTER is the most important: a man of his word who is always a gentleman.
