The short story leaves so much out.

I spend my time with people that speak in full sentences, own shirts with collars, drive nice cars and clean their own houses. They also like sports, own boats, fish, golf and donate to charity. Shared interests make the time spent interesting and encourage long term relationships.

I travel, both domestically and to interesting foreign ports. Latin and South America, Europe and many interesting US and Canadian cities. I like meeting the locals and finding out about life 'there'. The world is a fascinating and humbling place.

Locally, I attend Bucs games at every opportunity, serve beer for the thirsty at the events held in Vinoy park, and am now patiently wishing for the Rays magic to return.

I am looking for a nice guy to chill with, one who does puzzles, likes to boat, enjoys sports events, knows what 'arts and crafts' means and can run a screwdriver. However, I like exciting as much as the next girl.

So, if you are up for the challenge, reach out.

I have now been on this site long enough to feel it necessary to add this comment. I am not looking for an email buddy. In order to find a long term relationship candidate, speaking on the phone and meeting are required.

I am not sure if it counts as a date, but I would like to have some phone conversations to see if our rhythms match.
