I love dating. I love being in a relationship with someone and having the best time we can. However, I hate dating. Why is it so hard to find someone who says they want something, and actually want what they say they want?

I'm divorced, but it was a clean break without the baggage/drama associated with a lot of break ups. I have an outgoing personality, though I tend to be a bit shy at first. I love my sense of humor. I laugh A LOT and love making people around me laugh. I'm fairly sarcastic and witty and have a weird sense of humor most of the time. I like to go out to eat and try new foods whenever I can. I really, really like sushi. Really. I like to have long conversations with people. I like to have an all day conversation via text message about nothing and everything. I like going out with friends, seeing live music (especially at Stubbs), go see stand up comedy. I have a dog, and I take him to dog parks pretty much every day. I like to go out when I can but I'm also a fan of relaxing after work with my DVR or DVD. I'm the type of guy who opens doors for a lady, gives flowers at random times, and let the woman I'm with know she is appreciated.

I want to find someone who likes to have fun with life. Someone who likes dogs, and likes to be active by going to parks or on a bike ride. Someone who has a variety of favorite foods and likes to eat different styles instead of the same over and over again. I think that having friends is important. Being able to go out with friends with and without each other is a good thing. I want to meet someone who is excited to see me as I am her whenever we do see each other. I'm looking for someone who wants to eventually have a family together. I love kids and would like to have some someday.

Somewhere in which a conversation can take place. Not to sound cliched, but coffee, drinks, putt putt, dog park, or somewhere of the like. The 2nd date can be more creative and adventurous.
