Hi! I am looking to date with the goal of a long-term relationship but I am not pushy or in a rush about getting serious. I'd say my best qualities are affection, intelligence, patience, loyalty, humor and dependability. I don't get mad or yell and I don't lie. The passion is there - it just gets expressed in more constructive or fun ways! I would like to be with someone who values being fit and doing active things outside when the weather is decent, yet who enjoys both staying in for dinner and a movie and going out (fine or casual) to anything from the ballet to a play to a live band. We don't have to daily exercise together but having something we can do together on the weekends like hiking or riding bikes along the river would be really cool.

First date settings depend on schedules. Brunch is nice but the ideal is drinks after work. If things go well, then you can just keep going into dinner!
