I want a man that is looking for something serious. I want to get to know the basics about you through this site before exchanging personal emails or phone numbers. If we click, I certainly want to meet you in person just not within the first few days. Online dating seems to be the norm but you still have to be cautious. With that.....

I work a full time straight days job. I like hanging out with family and friends. I have a great sense of humor, with a bit of sarcasm, and love to laugh. I enjoy traveling, especially cruises, to the warm weather islands. I get to Iowa several times a year to visit family and friends. My taste in music varies. I like rock and metal mostly. Alternative and some hip hop is not bad. I am not a big fan of country music. I am honest, loyal, respectful and faithful.

I am looking to meet a mature, employed man that is honest, trustworthy, caring and loyal. A man that is looking to get to know me inside and out. A man that has time to spend together, communicate and is serious about settling down and wanting to start a family. I am NOT looking for a man that only wants one night stands or friends with benefits. I am not into head games and despise drama.

**SIDE NOTE** If we exchange emails/phone numbers and for some reason either of us decide not to communicate any longer please be considerate enough to let me know you are no longer interested as I would do for you. Thanks

For a first date there are several possibilities. I think it depends on how well you get to know each other before actually meeting. It could be something as simple as meeting for coffee or lunch. Or if you like to go bowling as much as I do that would be fun too.
