I'm a very caring person and I'm always told that I am a very good listener. I try to and usually do see the good in everyone and give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm not judgmental or cynical and each person starts with a clean slate - I don't let past experiences accumulate and affect how I see others. I like to make people laugh and smile, so I'm drawn to people who do the same. A good sense of humor is a must because sarcasm and quick wit are very attractive qualities to me. I think it's better to start as friends and let things naturally progress than to rush into it and risk blowing what could have been a great opportunity. I would like to find someone with similar views and values who would be mutual with caring and appreciation.

First date plans would depend on how the other person was and we'd put our heads together and come up with something. I prefer spontaneity in a situation like that and everyone is different as far as what they'd be comfortable doing and the type of setting.
