Honest, trusting, caring and humorous. Loves to laugh, sing (badly), cook, go to movies, hike, raft, be outside enjoying the environment, or inside relaxing and cuddling. I can be a bit sarcastic at times, and believe family comes first. Integrity, honor, truth, are the ideals that make up my personal philosophy. That does not mean I am a straight arrow, I know we live in a gray world, and believe there is nuance in most things. When I say I am going to do something I do it, you can count on me to follow through.

I am looking for a fiery woman, race is unimportant, must live in the NOVA area, 23-32, and looking for a dating relationship with the possibility of growing into something more. I can be very passionate when stirred to the occasion and want a woman that can A. Bring that side out of me, and B. Is able to handle it. Intelligence is a must, a good sense humor and sassiness (there is a difference between sassy and ****y, if you do not know the difference, please move on). I am single because I am not into the bar scene and do not want to date inside my friends circle. That does not mean I do not like to go out and enjoy the bar environ, I just feel odd hitting on women in that type of social situation. I prefer a more gentle type of seeking.

I am currently employed in the private sector as a lab tech, but am trying to obtain a government position. I work hard, and love to work with my hands. It is my goal to start my graduate education with in the next 2 yrs. My dream job would be a wildlife ecologist, need the masters first.

First date: A nice picnic out at Great Falls followed by a hike on the trails, or wandering around old town followed by dinner because I love to cook.
First Meeting: Coffee at a local shop, drinks at a bar, karaoke in Clarendon, bowling, miniature golf, batting cages, any other ideas welcome.
