I find a description of myself would only illuminate part of a bigger picture of who I am for I am more than words can express but I have no choice. I will say that I am extremely loyal in a relationship. I am thoughtful about life and how I choose to live it. I have a dry, somewhat sarcastic sense of humor. I have been told that I am intense and passionate about things that are important to me. My family is an important part of my life. I would consider myself to be introverted viewing the world from the inside out but I like to go beyond myself to learn from others and their experiences. I am an independent thinker. I prefer to get up early than stay out late. I think that two people's life styles must match but interests don't have to so long as neither person expects the other to participate in everything they like all of the time. I am laid back about doing things, going places. I can find just as much fun in going some place new as I can staying at home. I pretty much go with the flow but I am serious about what I value and will not budge on those things. I am just looking for that unique woman who is down to earth (not materialistic), who enjoys eating healthy and has an active lifestyle (hiking, exercising, etc...) and who accepts me for who I am.

I think first dates are best doing something active outside.
