I moved here in Dec 08 from Australia, where I have been for the last 12 years. I would like to meet someone for a long term relationship but I think starting out just hanging and and getting to know each other first then see what happens is a good place to begin. If I meet a few new friends a long the way that would be a bonus.
I lead a healthy life style and this is very important for me in the person I meet....Except those moments when wine and chocolate apply. I'm only human.......
I like hiking, the gym, yoga and golfing. Getting together with friends for dinner or theme parties or just chatting over a hot beverage and like most of the things that are written on the average profile... walks on the beach ( my favorite place in the world ), wine and candle light dinners,watching dvds on the couch and cuddling and so on. I make great home made pancakes but only on sundays.lol
One of the things that is so important to me is honesty as to who you are and what you want out of life. I have done lots of traveling and would love to do more with the right person this includes road trips to explore areas around where we live or overseas. Some of the countries I have been to are Egypt, Morocco and Africa. You realize how small the world is and how much we have in common when you leave your back yard.
I'm want the whole package the best friend, lover,activity and travel partner and most importantly someone to share silence with that speaks volumes. With the right person this is not too much to ask for. On a lighter note I worked as a personal trainer in Australia so be prepared to drop-n-give me fifty.... ;) lol

You..me...wine...dine...chat...Meet for coffee? Drinks at a local pub? Dinner and a movie? Hang out at the beach? Go for a walk? It doesn't matter. In my opinion, the purpose of a first date is to get to know each other. After we will check the chemistry meter
