Hey there! I'm a Colon Cancer survivor. (2 years running) I am NOT by any means sickly, or weak. Sure I lost almost 70lbs in the process but I'm getting it back =)
I live my life day by day, taking each day as it comes with a smile, a positive attitude, and an open heart. I'm confident, Independant, Indifferent, Funny, and Socially Adjusted. I own my own business, home and auto restorations. The pictures I have up are a couple years old and my phone won't let me upload new ones so I'll gladly send you great recent ones just ask lol. I have a 6 month old puppy named Roxxi she's an Argentinien Mastiff. (She loves to go camping as much as I do lol!) I'm spontaneous, with a great personality, and I have horrible A.D.D. but they say people with A.D.D. have a million more thoughts a day than a person who doesn't so if that's the case I'm a flippin genius!!! Lol!!

I only want to contact women that fit my criteria, because I do not wish to waste my time chatting with women who don't suit me long term. My focus is quality over quantity.

First dates are over-rated, it's getting to the second or third that's the key! Nothing too slow-paced or routine. Any type of concert, outdooring, sporting (Not hunting or NFL...) Friday Night Fights or shooting pool. Maybe a couple drink, a bon-fire, some improv music sessions, train rides, off roading and rafting can be done nearby! (Only some ideas!)
And "ideal first dates" for the sake of this section:

Meet up for some snow boarding, four wheeling, or rafting
Break for picnic, or drinks, and conversation
Change up for a concert (I like all kinds as listed above)
Meet up with a group of friends for pool and more drinks
Take it out to the deck for some more chatting...

I like being spontaneous and creative =)
