I'm new to this site. I have been single for several years now, and am looking to meet someone I could get to know and see where it leads. Intelligence, humor and passion are musts. I love to cook, fix up my old house, hike, bike, enjoy live music, watch sports, camp, play poker, and spend time with friends. A quiet night with good company, a glass of wine and a nice fire are also wonderful. I'm independent, drama free, and good company.

I am a very spontaneous person, and am up for almost anything. I think a good first date would be dinner or drinks to get a chance to talk to each other and discover each others interests and personality. Movies, plays, or live sports events don't give you much opportunity to talk. I would rather sit face to face. Nothing big, just relaxed casual conversation.
