Bob

Hello. It has been brought to my attention that my church denomination is an issue for some people. I want to make sure to announce here, at the top of the page; that I am an active and dedicated member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. We are sometimes derogatorily referred to as "Mormons". To be crystal clear, I am welcoming to people of any Christian denomination. However, some people may or may not be welcoming to mine. Thank you for your careful consideration. May GOD bless you and keep you.

Bob’s Song Lyric of the Week:
(Past Songs are at the Bottom)

"You’re My Home"
(Written by Billy Joel, 1973)
(Performed by Billy Joel, 1973)

When you look into my eyes,
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul;
It always comes as a surprise,
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow.

I never had a place that I could call my very own.
That's all right, my love 'cause you're my home.

When you touch my weary head,
And you tell me everything will be all right;
You say, "Use my body for your bed,
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night".

I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone.
Wherever we're together, that's my home.

Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike,
Indiana's early morning dew,
High up in the hills of California,
Home is just another word for you.

I never had a place that I could call my very own.
That's all right, my love 'cause you're my home.

If I travel all my life,
And I never get to stop and settle down;
Long as I have you by my side,
And there's a roof above,
And good walls all around.

You're my castle, you're my cabin, And my instant pleasure dome.
I need you in my house, 'cause you're my home.

You're my home. You’re my home.

Bob’s main profile greeting:

Hello, I am looking for a kind, sweet, simple, GOD-fearing, loyal, modest, feminine, affectionate, and loving woman with whom to share my life adventure and hopefully love our families together.

SERIOUS INTEREST ONLY. If you are looking for a "fling", or something short-term, LEAVE ME ALONE. Given my life goals, there is no time to waste on SILLY GIRLS; and there are NO SECOND CHANCES for cheaters. I want a real, emotionally-available woman.

If you are a single mom, that’s not a problem for me, I genuinely value kids — they are interesting, fun, and bring a lot of life to a home and outings. Every child deserves a dependable, fun, and loving father who sets a good example. If you have kids, are they prepared to embrace a new father or a "bonus" father? Every mom deserves a supportive and kind man to help her bear the work and celebrate her children. I CAN DO IT!

I would like emotionally and legally available kids; either kids YOU already have or having some with me later, whichever is best for OUR family. Please note, if you are a single mom then understand, if we get married, I will want to adopt your kids and bring them to America. If your ex has father's rights over your kids, they cannot leave the Philippines and I cannot adopt them as my own. If his name is on the birth certificate(s), if he has ever been involved in their lives, or visited them, or sent money for them; then I likely cannot adopt them unless he gives up his father’s rights or his rights are taken away by a Philippine court. If he has never been involved, or his name is not on the birth certificate, it is easier to get the court to take away his father's rights. If he is dead, then there is no issue. These things are important. I am not going to marry a sweet Filipina then leave her alone in the Philippines while I work in America. I want to be a great father to her kids and love the whole family. However, if my Filipina has no kids, or if having our own children doesn’t work out, we can try adoption from the Philippines or even fostering. But not having kids will not stop me from loving and marrying you if you are the right Filipina for me.

I love extended family. It’s just my way. I know all my daughter’s friends and their siblings and parents. I love knowing them and have real concern for them. I will love your whole family as well. That's the best aspect of love, unlike other things, for example money or chocolate; with good people, the more love you give, the more love you have.

I own a four-bedroom house in Kentucky, America. I plan to buy a condo, apartment, or small house in the Philippines, near the family of my Filipina (after I find her!). We can stay there when we visit. My future family will live in America, but I would like us to travel home to the Philippines, along with any children we might have, during school breaks to see her family for summer, fall break, Christmas break, and spring break. It would be great for my family to be close with our Philippines family, speak the language, and have big-family love. Does that sound good to you?

A woman is more attractive if she has warmth, kindness, and femininity. I have always admired the gentle, family-oriented culture I see in many Filipinas. I am looking for a woman who values lots of affection, partnership, and building a strong and loving home together.

For my career, I am an executive for a medium-sized construction company, with a background in commercial sales, business development, contracts, and compliance. (I know, BORING - but hey, it pays the bills.) I welcome responsibility, but I value balance and family time even more.

A little about me: I’m 5’7” (170cm) tall, with brown hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. I keep a short goatee (which I can shave for you if it's TOO TICKLY, OR I can grow it longer if it's NOT TICKLY ENOUGH! 😊; it’s up to you (and I’m not bald……………………. yet 😄). If my blue eyes are a little intense for you, I promise I’m friendly.

I live a clean, WOW lifestyle (simple, low-vice, and intentional) and I value honesty, fidelity, and commitment. My faith matters to me, and I try to live it consistently — treating others with respect, keeping my word, and building trust through integrity. I do not use alcohol, tobacco, or illicit substances (but you can drink alcohol as long as it's under control). I do not cheat. I follow the ten commandments.

I have a teenage daughter. Currently, she is my favorite person in the whole world. But; kids grow up and move away - I will need a new favorite person, a grown-up, like you.

I speak English, along with a little Spanish, a little Portuguese, and tiny bit of ASL. I find international cooking, cultural exchanges, and good conversation over meals to be quite pleasant.

In my free time, I engage in regular church attendance and church activities (except for church dances because YOU are not with me yet! Hurry up! 😊 Some of my favorite activities are meeting new people, trying new foods, going to the movies, skating rinks, and visiting parks. I also like cooking outside on the fire pit and keeping a nice yard with trees and flowering plants.

At home, I often watch an action movie, play with my dog, or keep aquariums with fish — and a turtle. It is great when I can include my daughter in activities and when she includes me in hers.

Humor and laughter are important to me (my favorite color is clear) and I value loyalty, kindness, and genuine connections. I want a woman who is warm, kind, friendly, and dedicated — someone who wants to spend time together in front of the fireplace, sharing an oversized blanket, popcorn, and an action film. !!WARNING!!, I may have to tickle you under the blanket so, don’t be shocked if it happens! I want to spend time building a close, affectionate partnership.

I served in the U.S. Army and later the U.S. Navy. Those experiences shaped me into someone dependable, protective, and calm under pressure — while still being gentle, loyal, and affectionate with the people I care about.

I am practical and hands-on, comfortable fixing things around the house, performing minor work on cars, and taking care of everyday problems. When something needs to be handled, I step up and make it happen. You might even call me a “man of action”! (Note: despite the striking resemblance, I am NOT actually Bruce Willis in disguise.) 😊

Speaking of action, here are some nice KJV Bible verses:

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love".
-1 John 4:8, 16

"Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth."
-1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;"
-Ephesians 5:25

"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD."
-Proverbs 18:22

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."
-Proverbs 31:10

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it"
-Song of Solomon 8:7

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
-1 John 4:7

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come..."
-Song of Solomon 2:10–13

Past Songs of the Week

To Make You Feel My Love
-Performed by Billy Joel, 1977

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

There is nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

An Innocent Man
Written and Performed by Billy Joel
Release Date: August 8, 1983

Some people stay far away from the door
If there’s a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by

Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie

I know you’re only protecting yourself
I know you’re thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I’m not above
Making up for the love
You’ve been denying you could ever feel
I’m not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get look at the young
I’m only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am

Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that’s it’s easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don’t want to hear what I say
I know you’re gonna keep turning away
But I’ve been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I’m not above going through it again
I’m not above being cool for a while
If you’re cruel to me I’ll understand

Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you’d rather be a martyr tonight
That’s your decision
But I’m not below
Anybody I know
If there’s a chance of resurrecting a love
I’m not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began

Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I’m not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man

I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

What You Give – by Tesla

“Who's the one that makes you happy? Who's the one always on your mind?
Who is the reason you're living? Who's the reason for your smile?
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one, to ever feel this way.
I love you so much that I think I'm going insane.
I'm going crazy, out of my head. I'm going crazy, out of my head.
I can't think about nothing but your good, good love, and what you give.

Everyone needs somebody, and you know, everybody needs someone.
Yes, it's true. Everybody needs a special kind of love.
And you're the only one I'm thinking of. You mean the world to me, you are my only.
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one, to carry on this way.
I love you so much I lose track of time, I lose track of the days
I'm going out of my head. I'm going crazy, out of my head.
I can't think about nothing but your good, good love, and what you give.

It's not what you’ve GOT, it's what you GIVE.
It’s not the life you CHOOSE, it's the life you LIVE.
It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give.
It's not the life you WANT, but the life you LIVE.

You're the one that makes me happy, and you're the one always on my mind.
Yes it's true. You are my REASON, my ONE and ONLY, that I've been living for.
Why can't forever be forever and nothing more?
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one, to ever feel this way.
I love you so much I lose track of time. I lose track of the days.
I'm going out of my head, I'm going crazy, out of my head.
I can't think about nothing but your good, sweet love, and what you give.

It's not what you’ve GOT, it's what you GIVE.
It’s not the life you CHOOSE, it's the life you LIVE.
It’s not what it's NOT, but what it IS.
It's only what you give.
It's only what you give.
It's only what you give.
It's only what you give.”

“Hopeless Romantic”
by Billy Vera and the Beaters

Sometimes on Sundays,
I sit by the TV,
Watching sad movies alone.
When it gets to the part,
Where the little dog dies,
I cry.
Sometimes I think I,
Was born just a little,
Behind or ahead of my time.
I live in a dream world,
Of caring and sharing,
And good guys,
And nobody lies.
I'm a believer.
But much more than anything,
I believe in you.
You're not a deceiver,
And if you told me the ocean went dry,
I'd believe it was true.
So call me a hopeless romantic,
'Cause I can still believe.
I can still believe - in true love.
And hopeless romantics,
Still can find a way,
To make true love last,
These days.
Have you ever noticed,
While telling a tall tale,
The look on the face of a child?
She accepts without question,
As though it were gospel,
They're only like that for a while.
I'm a believer.
But much more than anything,
I believe in you.
You're not a deceiver;
And if you told me the ocean went dry,
I'd believe it was true.
So call me a hopeless romantic,
'Cause I can still believe,
I can still believe - in true love.
And hopeless romantics,
Still can find a way,
To make true love last,
These days.
And hopeless romantics,
Still can find a way,
To make true love last,
To make true love last,
To make true love last,
These days.

“I Think I love You”
Performed by David Cassidy and Shirley Jones

I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane, I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread
"I think I love you!"

This morning
I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room
"I think I love you!"

I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for

I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I've never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've got so much to think about

I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for

I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I never felt this way

Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say "Hey, go away", I will
But I think better still
I better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face

Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, yeah

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I've never known, oh, yeah, yeah

You smiled, you smiled
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

Bringing with her the sunSHINE

As soon as our eyes first met
That her heart and mine would soon entwine
Into a love no one would ever forget

I found a love for me
Everybody needs someone to love
I'm so glad that I found mine
There's someone somewhere for everyone
And it's only a matter of time
Before you say it

At last
I found a love for me
Baby, at last, ah
I found a love for me"

“The Meaning of Life”
Performed by Philip Claypool, 1995

I hear your heart beat, the sound of you breathing.
I'm touching your skin, amazed at the feeling.
I've worn out my body and soul trying to figure things out.
Funny how simple it all seems now.

A man needs a reason, to live and to die.
And I've found all my answers, right here in your eyes.
God's in his heaven, and I've seen the light.
To lie here and love you, is the meaning of life.

It all seems so clear, the tears and the laughter.
Were leading me here. Your love's all that matters.
So darling let anything come, whatever the world puts me through.
I won't ask why, because I have you.

A man needs a reason, to live and to die.
And I've found all my answers, right here in your eyes.
God's in his heaven, and I've seen the light.
To lie here and love you, is the meaning of life.

Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)
Recorded by Tanya Tucker, 1973, then David Allen Coe, 1975.
Written by David Allen Coe

Would you lay with me, in a field of stone?
If my needs were strong, would you lay with me?
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear?
In the midnight hour, if my lips were dry?

Would you go away, to another land,
walk a thousand miles, through the burning sand,
Wipe the blood away, from my dying hand,
If I give my self to you?

Will you bathe with me, in the stream of life?
When the moon is full, will you bathe with me?
Will you still love me, when I am down and out,
In my time of trial, will you stand by me?

Would you go away, to another land,
walk a thousand miles, through the burning sand,
Wipe the blood away, from my dying hand,
If I give my self to you?

Would you lay with me, in field of stone?
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear?
Would you wet them dear, in the stream of life?
