Hi, my name is Gary. I can be pretty goofy and a little geeky. I am definitely not afraid to laugh at myself. I can be a little sarcastic but I always have the best of intentions. Tough skin is somewhat required.

I'm the type of guy who will give a girl flowers for no reason at all, to call just to say hi and who really cares how someone's day is going. I am not a big talker but I do love a great conversation. I am an extraordinary listener.

I'm a really laid back and relaxed person. I can have fun doing almost anything, especially with the right people. Lately I have been spending a lot of time out on the lake, doing some fishing. I think being on the water with just good friends is a great way to spend a weekend. Staying inside can be a lot of fun too, curling up and watching a scary movie with a beautiful girl once it starts getting cold.

I think a beautiful woman comes in all shapes and sizes. Humor is a must, as is a pretty smile. I find intelligent women to be extremely attractive.

My idea of a great first date might not be typical. Most people like dinner and a movie, but I usually find myself way more interested in the person next to me during the movie rather than the movie itself.

I think a first date should be about getting to know one another, to see if it's worth going forward or not. Get a drink (coffee or alcohol, depending on the person) and a nice, long summer walk in the park or a starry street lined with shops immersed in great conversation. Maybe even a trip to the museum or zoo, or some putt-putt or bowling. Pretty much anywhere two people can be comfortable, safe and get to know each other. First dates are stressful enough, why make it more complicated than it needs to be?
