Well lets see. A bit about myself. Well, I like good food, good movies, doing projects around the house, video games, cartoons, long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners. :P Long term I'm looking to settle down with a family. I do have a dog that I spoil way too much, so you'll have to like him. He doesn't shed so if you suffer from dog allergies you'll still be okay with him. He's very friendly and very cute too, everyone loves him. :P I'm very easy going and easy to get along with. I love to laugh, so I hope you have a sense of humor :) I would consider myself an intelligent person and my life is very much in order. I think honesty, openness, and communication are the most important parts of a relationship. I'm not a huge fan of tattoo's or drinking or crazy piercings. I don't mind them really as long as it's not completely out of control. I'm not a big fan of smoking either. I usually end up coughing noticeably when I'm around it and then it's all awkward. I'll listen to about any kind of music except rap. I've never been a fan of it. As long as it has some depth, tells a story, or is just silly I'll like it. The Fray, Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, ect.

Let's see, how about some silly stuff. Why the snowy theme? Well it brings out my... ummm... tan? I like to have chocolate chip cookie dough in the freezer at all times so I can always bake fresh cookies if I want them. Usually they never make it to the oven though :) When typing any normal sentence I usually wind up typing twice as much as anyone else because of all the backspace and corrections. I love to cook, but I hate to cook for just myself. I am absolutely terrible at decorating. My house has that little tree you see in my profile picture and a random painting. I'm terrible at taking pictures of myself too. Maybe it's my camera, I'm not really sure. I tried the image help thing but they just never seem to come out very good when they get shrunk down. I created my screen name a long long time ago and have been using it ever since for various things. I'm not nearly as shy as it implies :P One of these days I'll think of a new one and change it :P

As far as the bar dating scene goes, well, I really don't fit in with that crowd too well. So if you're looking for someone superficial you've come to the wrong place. I've got a big heart and a lot of depth and a lot of love to give :)

What I'm looking for in a woman is someone who's honest, loyal, and open. I'm not asking you to tell me everything about you in the first email though, that would be kind of weird. I would also like someone that likes to spend a lot of time with me. I am looking for a relationship that has the possibility of leading to marriage. Don't expect a ring on the first date lol, but if you're not ready to make that final leap it may be better to keep looking :) Anyways, that's my little disclaimer :P

I still don't know too many people in the area so if you're looking for a good friend feel free to message me too :)

I guess it really depends on how well we get to know each other before the first date. If it's not too well then something like dinner at a nice restaurant. Just something not too loud where we can talk and get to know each other a bit better. As long as it's not Karaoke we'll be good. I can't carry a tune so it's better not to ask :)
