Let me see...how can I encapsulate who I am with a short paragraph? Although during the week I'm pretty busy with work and the gym on the weekends I'm a very social person and love to hang out with friends or meet new people. However, staying home, cuddling on the couch with my man and watching a movie is also good. I love all kinds of music from classic rock, heavy metal, alternative, reggae, blues, jazz to punk. I'm not a fan of country music though.

My friends would describe me as a loyal, considerate, intelligent, giving, thoughtful and fun person. I'm also very honest and upfront about my feelings and what I do or don't want. Life's too short to play games so I would rather just be open about feelings with my partner. So if you're one of those guys that can't communicate with a women then we would not be a good match. Also, I have some pretty extensive tattoo work on my back and my thighs so if tattoos are a turn-off for you then move on.

Some of the characteristics I look for in a man are honesty, loyalty, considerate, kind, selfless, intelligent, funny, ambitious, and respectful. Also, I really appreciate a man with manners who knows how to treat a lady. I keep hoping that chivalry is not dead!

If you are laboring under the pretense that you are on here for dating or a relationship but are really just looking to hook up please DO NOT waste my time by contacting me. If you can't be respectful on a date and go into it w/out expectations then I'm not interested.

Right now I'm not looking for anything too serious but I'm open to it if things naturally progress to that point.

Since I am a planner by profession and by nature it would be nice to pass the baton and have the man take charge and suggest what we should do for a first date. By the way, I don't drink coffee!!
