It says I am looking for long term (and ultimately I am), but I am here to meet women and talk with them and maybe get to know a bit about them in the process. I am here to find a serious relationship, but I am not in desperate pursuit of one. I will date, I will hang out, or what-ever, because we can't define a relationship as dating, hanging out, or serious until we are into it anyway. I don't have to think you are "The One" in order to chat with you, and would expect that the same is true in return.

I don't have a picture on here because I don't want to have just any one see me on here. If we chat I will give you a pic of me, then you can decide to stay or run away.

I am loyal, protective (not over protective), and always willing to help (sound like a good dog). I believe possessions are things I can buy, if I want them, and I can control them as I want, people are not possessions, and I make no attempts to control them. I am not into bars or clubs. I have found that a bar is an excellent place to meet drunk people, but not so good for finding people you want to spend a lot of time with. That being said, I do like going to a pub for a couple and maybe playing some pool (poorly).

Physically a woman's eyes and smile catch my attention before anything else.
Sense of humour is very important, to me. I have been told that I have a good sense of humour, but maybe they were just joking, and I didn't get it.
I love dogs, but don't have one right now. Generally like all animals (not so fond of Bears and Mountain Lions, or the Crows and Magpies that live out side my window).

I have diverse interests, and tastes and am willing to try new things. I am the shy type to begin with, but if you take the time to get to know me, you may be surprised (you might even like me).

My ideal date would be a short walk or a hike followed by supper at a nice restaurant, or on the side of a hill, then drinks and/or a movie at the theater or home, on the couch. It doesn't really matter to me,I would generally like any date that would give us an opportunity to get to know a bit about one another. The fancy stuff can come later after we decide we like one another.
