I am merely wanting to meet someone special who is willing to share his time, interests, hopes, dreams and goals with me unconditionally. I somewhat believe in traditional values but in no way meaning to imply I need or want someone to take care of me. I like trying new restaurants and places of interest in St. Louis. I am trying to visit at least two places I've never been before in the US each year. I feel I have been single long enough and don't want to spend another holiday alone. I consider myself intelligent with a wicked since of humor. I like to relax every so often but for the most part, I want to be out experiencing life rather than reading about it. I adore every kind of music. As everyone knows, people have certain likes and dislikes, turn-ons and turn-offs. Since my dislike/turn-off list is shorter, I'll provide those. Please don't leave a message or expect a response if you smoke, partake in recreational drug use, curse like a sailor, you don't have a profile photo, your main photo is a shirtless one (my intial attraction is based on chemistry and intelligence not your body), you're very overweight and have no desire to change it, you're under the age of 35 or if you have no ambition.

I believe a first date should be light and provide an opportunity to get to know someone. I prefer drinks or a meal.....somewhere where we could talk without constant interruption or glaring looks for taking too much time at a table. It's a chance to see if there are enough common interests and intrigue to warrant a second date. I don't believe in love at first sight but I do believe that a spark can be felt if chemistry potential is there.
