Hey there. I'm a newspaper reporter in Brooksville. Yes, Brooksville -- an hour north of Tampa -- which partially explains why I'm here.
My passions are playing guitar, bicycling and heading to concerts, plays and museums. Don't get too excited about the guitar thing -- I'm not that great but there's a slight chance I could learn your favorite song. And yes, I wear spandex, but only on the bike. The upside? Nice legs.
I come from an amazing family and consider my parents and my sister to be my heroes --especially my Dad. He's what a good man should be and has set a fine example.
I believe in the concept of radical honesty, though I'm still mastering it. I consider myself to be moderately intelligent, articulate, compassionate, and emotionally mature.
I'm looking for someone who is passionate, kind, mature, not materialistic, and willing to give to me as much as I'm capable of giving myself, which I think is alot. I'm not desperate to jump into a serious relationship, but I'm no playa', either. Finding "the one" would be great, but no pressure.

I don't think it's a good idea to plan some elaborate date when you don't know whether the chemistry is there yet. Dinner and drinks (tea or soda if you want) is simple but allows plenty of time to talk, which is key.
