Well For starters I would like to welcome you. I'm your not so average guy next door. I love to meet new people and try new things. I've lived in 36 of the 50 states and I've been to 45 of the 50. I love to travel and just get away for a weekend. Life has been good to me and I've made a lot of amazing friends along the way. I'm complex and I'm drawn to similar people. I'm not really much of a relationship kinda guy though I have days when it seems like I want nothing more. I've been know to be overly cautious as I have been burned one to many times so it makes it rather difficult to trust people. I like to think people are generally good in nature but somehow they get lost along the way and lose touch with the things that truly matter in life, friends. My friends are my life and I feel are a reflection of who I am. So I guess I want to meet someone like me. Honest, loving, challenging, passionate, grateful and driven. So that's that, the rest is just filler

This all depends on the girl and the season, similar interests, mood... Personally I don't believe you can plan a perfect first date or any date for that matter. Now this is not to say that planning a date is a bad thing but I find it to be a better experience if you kinda just wing it.
