I have had a lot of healthy, positive relationships with women since I was a teenager, but have lately found it becoming increasingly difficult to even meet anyone! I'm the same honest, interesting and passionate man that I've always been; but understandably, women today have come to expect the worst :-( What can I do or say to encourage a little optimism? How can I prove that I'm truly different, when no one even bothers to say 'hello' ? As a man I'm considered a sweet, intelligent guy who's lots of fun. I have great confidence in myself, without being arrogant, argumentative or vain. I hope to establish a relationship with someone who is not only genuinely caring, but an inquisitive, creative individual like myself. I'm a one-woman man who has grown-up and discovered who he really is; and hope to meet someone who has done the same.

Talk first, and see if we can agree on something that we'd both enjoy.
