I am optimistic yet realistic, loving, affectionate, compassionate, and passionate.I don't have any particular ideal other than someone with whom I can have an intelligent, honest conversation and a good laugh. A sense of humour is required. Loyalty, honesty and integrity are important to me.

I like being outdoors, fishing, hiking, walking even, just enjoying nature. My taste in music spans from classic rock to classical and most things in between. I love to go new places, see new things. I have many interests I like going out and seeing live band or comedy or just staying at home with friends for a barbecue. I always enjoy a nice dinner and a movie too.

I think first dates should be relatively simple - a walk in a park or going out for a drink, then see how things go and take it from there.
