I am very down-to-earth & easy going & appreciate the simple things, but also the finer things. I love family, kids, cottages & anything around the lakes, rocks & trees of cottage country. I like to play golf, pool, volleyball, baseball, tennis & bowling but I don't watch sports on TV at all. I used to work-out like a madman & I thought I had done enough pushups & situps to last a lifetime.....I guess I was wrong! I love to travel...in the car...on a motorcycle, or on a plane. I love to build & repair things & I am very mechanically inclined. I value people who are genuine & unpretentious & I don't consider SHOPPING to be a hobbie! I love movies & music but I am pretty selective about what I listen to.

A first date is more of a meeting really, so the priority should be just to sit face to face & talk over a drink or several cups of coffee or tea. Going to a movie is great but it doesn't give you a chance to talk & get to know eachother.
