I believe in myself and know what I want in life. I try to avoid all negativity and people who waste their time and my time. I know human beings (like myself) are not perfect, but anyone with common sense will learn to make the necessary changes in their lives that will yield them with positive results.

My mood sounds: eclectic - Gregorian chants, cool jazz, blues, lite classical, r&b, reggae, a half teaspoon of country/rock
My food cuisine: hot/spicy - BBQ, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Ethiopian,
My temperament: easy - but not too slow or too fast, firm - but not too hard or too ruff, flexible within reason.

I like sipping wine in front of a fireplace (even during the summer) while playing board games, taking carefree quiet walks on a sandy beach (especially during sunrise or sunset), going to see matinee plays, live concerts, competitive sporting events, or just camping out and doing some fishing.

I dislike playing golf (it's bit too slow for me...hitting a ball and then walking behind it).
However, I don't mind playing miniature golf (putting around obsticles is a skill).

My hope is to find a compatible mate/companion/friend...a woman/lady who has beauty inside & outside, a cute smile, and a nice personality. I want a woman who is respectful, honest, faithful, loyal, fun & funny/witty, intelligent, resourceful, passionate, compassionate, sexy, sensual, romantic, adventurous, attentive, and also willing as well as able. (Whew!!!)

The woman that I am looking for must be a NON-smoker and be able to correctly come into my life without any history of substance abuse or other loose "baggage" and/or drama. She should be comfortable wearing long evening gowns, jeans/sweatshirts or even cute bedtime teddies. I am not looking for an intern, but someone who has been down a few rocky roads herself and who can now maneuver her way around tight jams and unexpected situations if the need arises.

Although I do work and live in a fast paced atmosphere, I prefer to take my time when it comes to that special lady in my life. I prefer to do chats and emails for starters, then when things feel right between us we can move up to a face2face or body2body. It's what I like to call...full contact.

I'd just like to add...
My partner will get all of the above mentioned from ME and more. :-)

I am a man of action...so...our first date would begin with something that is exciting, fun, and involves exerting some energy and maybe employing a little bit of skill. >>>> bowling, roller skating, kite flying, miniature golf >>>> Then the date winds down at a cozy restaurant with live jazz playing as we partake in quiet getting to know you conversations.
Many times a person's true personality is revealed when they are challenged or if they find themselves placed in a competitive situation.
