Looking to meet someone to get to know. Someone with similar interests. Someone who's not finished growing and becoming. If a friendship develops - great, if something more grows from it (that is long term/permanent)- even better.

I have many interests that I enjoy exploring. At times I am quite passionate about those interests, but am not consumed by them. TV is not at the top of the list, but I have been known to watch it on occassion. Usually I read, hike, walk, listen to music - love live music. The Metroparks and Towpath are weekend favorites (not so much in the winter though) along with the local book stores.

I enjoy experiencing new/different places and things. It helps keep the mind young, active, and fresh.

I have a big extended family --aunts, uncles, cousins (and their kids)-- that likes to keep active. A family party for almost any reason is the norm. Then there is always the occassional family trip. Those are a blast.

Trying to keep a somewhat healthy lifestyle. But since life is meant to be enjoyed, I stray on occassion for ice cream and cake at parties, pizza, burger, etc.

First meeting at a coffeehouse, park, quiet restaurant, someplace where we can talk and get to know each other a little more face to face. After that, see how we feel about a first date.
