I am a hard working man who runs his own business. My goal is to one day open my own art gallery/coffee shop and sponsor poetry recitals and local musicians.
I enjoy painting, spending time in the mountains, reading, and writing poetry. I am looking for a special lady that I can be friends with, and then one day hopefully cherish and love. She may even be interested in art, or the outdoors, or enjoy reading and writing...who knows? Mentally I am attracted to a strong, intelligent woman. Physically I am attracted to a medium to petite built lady.
I am considered a good friend, and all of my friend's kids love me. My family is also very important to me. Personal traits that I value (for myself as well as others) are honesty, integrity, loyalty, compassion, morals, ethics, and belief in God.

There is a difference between a first meeting and a first date; preferably something like coffee or drinks somewhere conducive to conversation-where we can find out if we'd like to go on a first date. If all goes well, then maybe a nice walk or visit to a museum. It doesn't matter as long as there's an opportunity to talk and get to know each other.
