Who am I? A stable, honest, open-minded, good natured optimist. I'm sometimes a little shy when I first meet someone but you will quickly find that I am warm-hearted, generous, loyal, trusting, intelligent, conversational, mature (but fun-loving) and responsible. My basic demeanor is casual and unpretentious. I consider myself to be relatively active and adventurous, but not an extremist, with a fairly wide variety of interests. I am a voracious reader. My sense of humor is probably one of my best traits. My interests range from reading the latest novel to riding my bike to enjoying a good film to walking my dogs, dinner at a great restaurant, comedy clubs, plays, golf (occasional and very recreational), hiking, camping, domestic and international vacation travel (as opposed to business travel, which I have done extensively, the source of MANY frequent flyer miles), summer and winter beach trips, a warm fireplace with a good book, music, or movie, wine tasting, visiting museums, - you name it. The one thing missing from all of the above is YOU! Who am I looking for? I'm hoping to meet my best friend/companion/lover with whom to share all the best things in life for the rest of our lives together. I'm basically looking for someone who is warm, sincere, honest, trustworthy, intelligent, self confident (but not overbearing - after all, we're not in a competition!), even-tempered, generally upbeat, fairly active but not obsessive about it. Exploring the world together would be great, challenging each other to try new adventures. I'm looking for a complete person who is as independent as I am yet feels that love can motivate and enhance everything in our lives.
