I'm trying to live creatively and apply that to all situations in my life. If you're with me on that, then we should have fun getting to know each other.

I crave structure and I'm attracted to people that have goals and the inspiration to follow up on them. You don't have to be a finished masterpiece. A masterpiece "in progress" is just fine, however, you should have enough respect for yourself to think that you might be an incredible work of art.

I'm looking to live my life, rather than looking for a person to fulfill my life. I'd like to meet a woman who I will "compliment" and vice versa. In other words, we encourage each other and help the other person be a better version of who they are.

I figure a first date should be figuring out we can have a conversation. Pictures are great and email is good, but you can never tell until you meet in person. I find that sitting through an entire dinner and full night of plans can be painful if you find you can't even have a conversation, so a cup of coffee or a drink is always the best way to go for starters.
