I'm a creative man with a desire to help others succeed, but yet, I'm one that will stand back and let someone figure it out for themselves first.

If I have the choice, I'd rather play than watch. I'm aggressive when I really want something or someone. I like complete communications and will analyze a problem/situation until its resolved. This doesn't mean I harp on it. I put it in the back of my mind and eventually, within a day or two...resolution comes.

I'm fit, and athletically inclined. I've coached many years of youth sports and still occasionally play baseball with my grown son.

Speaking of.. I'm a father to two college kids and now find myself with a lot of time on my hands. They live their own lives and though they live with me most of the time, they're rarely home. Anyone who has grown kids that are mobile knows what I'm talking about.

As for a description of my possible match. She has a mind for business. She might have kids, but doesn't necessarily want more. She knows how to be aggressive when she wants something, but is usually casual in the off hours. She might like a fancy hotel, but she's also not opposed to camping, stepping out of the norm and roughing it. Exercising is a must for her. Socially, she likes to step out for a cold beer or a soothing glass of wine. She says she's fashionable when it takes and hour to get ready, but calls it stylish when wearing pj's to the local coffee shop.

Does this woman exist? I guess we'll see.

Oh by the way, three things... 1. I know I say "dating," in regards to what I'm looking for, but that doesn't mean it can't lead to long term or other. 2. Do you Skype? 3. I'm currently living in Southern California but will be living in the Boise, Id. area as of Jan. 2010.

First dates I think should be simple. Meeting somewhere we can talk and hear each other. A casual walk near the beach, perhaps a drink somewhere quiet and close.
