Just checking things out right now, tasting and touching later, LOL, my children are my world, I believe in a good sence of humor, being spontaneous is huge, I'll try most anything once, I dislike dry and bland. I'm somewhat old fashion romantic, I believe in holding hands and if you care for someone showing private & public signs affection (can be a glance, kiss, put arms around, being playful, etc). I belive a flower or flowers are still a sign of caring (never to be expected because it takes the romance out), opening a car door is a sign of respect even in a world where it's not done often (but again shouldn't be expected, there are casual times and reasons it won't happen, please don't be offended). I'm down to earth, I enjoy a walk in the park or sitting on the beach late at night enjoying the sound of the waves or a quiet afternoon in the mountains listening to the leaves blowing in the breeze. I like water of all kinds, beach, lake, river or mountain stream, to swim, boat, fish or just sit and listen to nature. I like spending time with my children. I enjoy flea markets and auctions etc. or sometimes just hanging out. I do enjoy drives to nowhere, just get in car and drive thru the country, check out small shops etc.

Just a note to you women that are so good as to not accept a message from someone that has messaged someone that was looking for an intimate encounter, other relationship or an activity partner. Sometimes those messages are in response to a message recieved as to not to be rude. Plus the fact is I honestly don't pay attention to what your looking for because you can't get to where you want to go without 1st communication, then chemistry, then friendship and then you will see where it goes. To just say I want long term won't make it happen without the other steps, I believe in the back of most of our minds we want something lasting, but those that "push push push" that point seem to never find it. Sorry ladies I had to rant.

Depends on who I'm talking with, may be a cup of coffee or a meeting at the park to sit and talk, a meal etc.
