I was here a while ago and am back just looking around, taking it kind of slow. I used to write a book, but not sure that got me very far!!???!!! I think on line dating is a lot about first impressions and attraction and to think about it, isn't dating in general? I am healthy and successful. I work hard and want a woman that also works hard. I'm new to the area, so I don't really have any favorite spots or anything. I'm pretty laid back and enjoy a good movie, motorcycle ride or a good weekend adventure/road trip. I am a pretty fun guy in most situations, but avoid the party scene, but that may just be due to the fact that I have moved around a bunch and haven't really had a tight group of friends since college (a while ago, lol)....I'm super honest, pretty sweet and reliable. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty and am pretty handy around the house.

Romance is an important part of a relationship and it doesn't scare me...I think I am pretty good at it...I'm pretty conservative and my faith is important, so that's something that should be in your life too. I love good conversation and will talk away, so you better have something to add!

Some turn offs:

Not really into the peace signs or whatever you're doing with your hands in the pictures? Not sure why, just seems silly/juvenile...

If every picture in your profile is one you took yourself with a cell phone, ask your friends for some help...Not trying to be mean!

I'm not a big guy, pretty average. I take pretty good care of myself and exercise regularly, please be of like fitness if you contact me...(attraction remember! I know that sounds shallow, but I'm just being honest)...

That's pretty much it...maybe I sound like a jerk now??? If you think that, then I guess I won't hear from you :)...I'm actually a very nice guy!

I think for most people there needs to be an escape route lol, but if we are adults and honest, there is nothing wrong with ending a date early...so lunch or dinner, maybe a walk if things are going well...most importantly, somewhere conducive to conversation and getting to know each other!
