Platinum again. Round 2. Let's see...

Divorced (2yrs). Seeing what the world & life has to offer this time around. 1st generation of Palestinian & Jordanian (Antiochian Orthodox) heritage. I don't speak Arabic fluently, and am always learning as days pass. Originally from the Chicago area, but out in the heat for an awhile now. Been visiting back home more frequently lately...maybe I'll go back one day. Who knows? What I do know is Phoenix summers & Chicago winters are both brutal. I'm a Navy veteran & former Deputy Sheriff. I grew up in a strong, God-fearing, hard-working family that instilled more honor & discipline than the military ever could. My compass is true (thanks Baba). What I seek: True personality, not fake or forced. I appreciate the glitz & glam, but natural beauty is paramount, especially when it's from the inside out. Sincere, honest, compassionate. Able to captivate my mind. I relish & appreciate deep, meaningful as well as light-hearted conversations. Let's chat to see if we have chemistry & connection & work from there. Again my disclaimer: Men are visual creatures. I cant like you back if you don't show yourself. At least have 1 photo if you expect me to like your profile or at least chat with you. Also, I'm not totally opposed to long distance connections, however, if we make a connection, I expect to have some interaction to build off that. Makes no sense to get click happy & then ghost people....meaning don't initiate connection or conversation and then go silent or disappear.
