Hi, my name is Ricky. I'm a 31 year old guy from Old Fort NC. I have alot of good friends but I'm always up to making more. My closest friends would tell you that I'm a good listener and I'm a pretty good problem solver... when it comes to helping them with their issues. I've recently went through a pretty bad breakup and thats not been the easiest problem for me to get through on my own but I have to say that my friends have really been there for me and helped me to slowly start moving on. I am interested in finding a good guy and start something meaningful but I dont want to rush into anything. I dont want to hurt someone else simply because I'm on the rebound and I definately dont need to get my heart broken again, atleast not for a while. The next guy that I do get into a relationship with has to know what he wants out of life, needs to be understanding, caring and most of all I want a real man. I've come to realize that the very most important part of a realtionship is not sex, its communication because without that you have nothing. I also want someone who will respect me as much as I respect them and not just use me and leave me without even as much as an explanation the way my ex just did. I guess my friends would also say that at times I can be a little bitchy, but I'm working on that and besides .... can't we all get that way sometimes??? Sometimes I get wrapped up in things that are bothering me and I have a little trouble just leaving well enough alone and letting it work itself out. I guess thats one thing that makes it harder for some people to get to know me cause they just dont understand... but give me time... it always works itself back out and I'm the old Ricky again. As you can tell from my pic, I am in a wheelchair and there are some guys that cant get past that and you know what, thats their tough luck for not getting to know me. I've lived with the chair my whole life and I dont let it stop me from doing anything that I want to do. The people who dont want to look past that are the ones missing out... not me. I'm not trying to sound conceded but its the truth. I live a very normal life. I mow my own yard, do my own laundry, do alot of my own housecleaning and even help my friend with restoring my 1967 Chrystler newport. The car is not much to look at right now and at the present time is not even in running condition but it is very special to me. It was left to me by my grandfather and it just has a lot of good memories in it for me. My dad done alot of work on it before he passed away and even though he and I lost a few years together... we done alot of catching up over the car that some would probably call a POS. Every time I start to miss him... I just go sit in my car for a while and in ways it makes me feel close to him again. I get fed up sometimes when it seems that nothing I do is ever going to get it restored and everything just comes back to bite me in the ass. I sometimes threaten to just get rid of the car... but when I get on that tangent... dont listen to me... cause I dont mean a word of it. If you private me have something to say. Dont just private me expecting to get your rocks off... I'm not that type of guy. If you start rushing right into questions about my sex life and the size of my dick you will be permantley put on my ignore list. I'm looking for friendship and love not lust!!! Also if you think that you can be nice to me here and then come to my house and get some the first time you lay eyes on me.... dont waste your time because thats not going to happen either. I'm looking for a real man with a real heart that wants a real relationship. If youre him... lets chat. If you are just looking for a good freind and a great listener here I am. I leave you with my favorite quote. " If youre not happy with yourself and your own life, then how do you expect to ever make anyone else happy."
