PAUL JOHNSON SAYS...

If you life had a slogan what would it be? "I have about 4 or 5 mottos that I live by... "I aim to please." is my first. My second is "Come strong or don't come at all." My third is "Go FIRST class or don't go." And my last is "You are either getting better or you are getting worst. There is no middle ground."

What's the sexiest part of a woman? "The sexiest part of a woman is her neck or her smile. (Since I am a leg man...legs would be next.)"

What would be the title of your biography? "The Overachiever, the man who never quit."

What would you do if you won the lottery? "I would help my family out first, help several charities, and travel. I am someone who lives modestly and I would continue to do so. I would not go and buy a lot of things to show off. I would have nice things, but I know where I am from and I know where I want to go. Money will not change that."

Describe the type of women you have been dating? What did you like/dislike about them? "I have dated women who are very intelligent, funny, likes to take good care of themselves, and who is looking for solid family life."

Describe your typical first date? "I believe that a first date should be casual. I believe that it is good to meet in a public place that several of our friends can attend. This will allow both parties to be more comfortable. If there is any uneasiness, then it would be easier to have others ease the tension. The first date would be a nice dinner, going to a nice club to listen to jazz music or even go to play pool. I believe in respecting the lady with a kiss on the cheek and saying good night."

Have you ever been on a blind date and if so how did it turn out? "I have been on 2 blind dates. The first was awkward to say the least. She turned out to 6'5 and in to a different lifestyle altogether. The second date was with a very intelligent, attractive nurse who really likes to keep fit. We dated for about 9 months. We did not stay together due to religious differences."

What would you like to know about someone before you went on a date? "Criminal record. ( Ha) I would like to know if they have children. If so, how many? Some other general information, such as: Education, Height, Eyes (favorite part of a woman), Occupation, etc."

What would you want her to know about you before you went on a date? "If she can keep up? I am a guy who likes to do a lot of things, go a lot of places, and meet a lot of people."

What's the first thing you notice about a woman? "Eyes, then face, then hands (I can generally tell someone's personality by looking at their hands.), then legs (I am a leg man, not a boob man.) (Hope thats not too much information for you)"

What qualities do you look for in a woman? "LOYALTY! I want someone who will put every ounce of energy into OUR relationship. I will do ANYTHING for the right woman (In every area.) I want HONESTY. Someone with CLASS!"

How would you define love? "I would define love as the willingness to do ANYTHING for the person you love. To Love someone so much that you ALMOST want to be them."

What's your biggest turn on/off? "My biggest turn off is someone who has a wondering eye. Someone who is never satisfied (instead of putting all their efforts into making the relationship the BEST). My biggest turn on is coming home and KNOWING that she is waiting for you with a big smile, and a big hug and kiss. A turn on is a note on your car. A phone call to say that I was thinking of you and I can't wait for you to come home and catch me wearing one of your dress shirts. A turn on is spontaneity."

Which famous person would you like to date? "Brook Burke (E TV) or Demi Moore"

What's the most funniest, romantic or disastrous thing that has ever happened on a date? "The most romantic thing that has happened on a date with me is that I met my girlfriend (at the time) with 50 candles lit, a CD that I had created, chocolate kisses everywhere, wine chilled, a card, strawberries and whip cream. The most disastrous thing that I have done on a date was...I had pineapple, cherries, whip cream, chocolate syrup, rainbow sprinkles, and butterscotch. That was a disastrous desert."

What's the one thing a woman can do on a date that would impress you? "Say Thank you when I open the door or pull out her chair. To cherish the little things that I would do for her (to show it)."

If you had an extra hour in the day what would you do? "I would look for something fun to do. Play tennis or golf or go be with friends."

What would you like to accomplish in your lifetime? "To be the best Husband and Father I could be. Professionally, I would like to help educate young men/women to become leaders in a positive way."
