I hate filling these things out and compiling a list of attributes, but we all have our lists I suppose. I consider myself to be a loyal and trustworthy friend with a bit of a sarcastic personality, but it's all in fun. I'm very close to my family and friends and enjoy spending time with them. I love to be outdoors, and also really enjoy anything that involves sports. Lastly, I love just hanging out with my big dog. No matter what happens that day, I know I can always come home to his happy wiggling butt.

Ok so enough about me, if I had to briefly describe what I have learned over the years to be the qualities I prefer in a man they would be the following: I'm attracted to a gentleman with ambition to reach his goals in life (no matter how big or small they may be, just make an effort). He would be family oriented, who likes dogs, and also enjoys sports and being outdoors (camping, hunting, fishing, etc.). A fairly outgoing guy would be great as well because I love a guy that can hold a decent conversation, but not a must, I can be shy at times as well. I hope that didn't scare you away.

An ideal first date, hmmm....something that is interactive and engaging, maybe a little friendly competition. Going bowling or minature golf is fun. I'm not a fan of the normal movie and dinner on a first date, there just isn't enough opportunity to talk. Sporting events are fun too, but can get kind of expensive for a first date. I'm pretty easy going and can enjoy most any situation though.
