I’m a straightforward, optimistic guy with a romantic streak who likes cooking, cheering for my favorite hockey and basketball teams, and collecting movies (I have over 300 so far). Don’t see any of your favorites on this list? Don’t worry. What I do is less important to me than who I’m with.

If I had to choose just a handful of words to describe myself, I’d pick open minded, caring, family oriented, and communicative. I speak both Russian and English fluently, as well as American Sign Language. Most of my friends are deaf and I lose a little more of my hearing every year. I have mild cerebral palsy too, though it doesn’t slow me down.

I’m hoping to meet a sweet, witty woman who will love me as I am and who is open to a committed, long-term relationship if we are a good fit. Physically I’m attracted to affectionate women with warm smiles and beautiful eyes and the qualities that matter most to me are intelligence, kindness, and a down to earth personality. A willingness to learn some sign language would be the icing on the cake.

Does this sound like you? I hope so. I look forward to meeting you very soon.
