I love to laugh - it makes me happy. Happiness is best shared with friends.

There are 3 main things required in a great relationship: 1) Communications (I can't "read" minds - so I hope you can share your feelings, joys, sorrows, dreams and whatever is on your mind). 2) Intelligence (having an inquisitive mind, curious, seeks knowledge.) 3) Humor (you gotta have a good sense of humor to enjoy all those intelligent conversations we'll be having).

I enjoy many hobbies: playing guitar, writing songs, reading, playing pool, watching movies or a good TV program (History, NatGeo, etc.), playing cards and board games, antique hunting, wood working (like to build furniture), lawn & garden (especially riding my Honda, hydrostatic drive, air cooled, 20HP, 48" deck mower - urrr-urrr-urrr), remodeling or building something - anything with my hands, concerts, art fairs, comedy clubs and the list goes on and on.

What I don't like? I hate when I stick an ice pick in my ear and grind it around and pound it deep. I hate when that happens.
......(that's just a joke - no more hate-mail please!)..........

I'm a "renaissance man" so I have a lot of hobbies and would prefer a woman that enjoys doing things together. I do appreciate honesty and openess. Kindness will win me over. Traveling together, going out or staying in, just cuddling while watching a movie or taking long walks is very enjoyable, affectionate, trustworthy, spontaneous, adventurous yet standing on terra firma, loyal, great sense of humor, trusting (to a fault at times), enjoy helping others, lousy cook (I'm more of "a man, a can and a plan" sort of a gourmet microwavable mac-n-cheese culinary AR-TEESTE) but am great at helping out and I'm the perfect "clean-up genie", love those soft passionate kisses that make your toes curl, and hey - the GLASS IS FULL (half is water, the other is air) you gotta see the WHOLE picture.

Romance and passion are still what keeps a relationship growing, is fun and makes everyone at work wonder why you're grinning. Chivalry is still alive and I hope to find a lady that appreciates those things in kind. What kind of smile would you share with me?

If you REALLY want to impress a man on a first date: show up with a six pack, a bucket-o-hot wings and a "Go Chiefs" tube top. (just kidding ladies - I prefer pizza) (hee-hee)

Seriously speaking: I enjoy learning about others. So, first and foremost, it would be to just talk with each other. What makes your "tic" - "toc"? Chemistry does matter. I'd enjoy meeting in a quiet setting; sitting close enough to see the reflection of a crackling fireplace dancing in your eyes; and a sparkling glow, steeped in enchanted conversation. Shall we have a glass of wine? Or a cup of hot chocolate, coffee or tea to brave the chill of a cool, autumn night? No? Then, how about swigging down a quart of Ripple in a brown, paper bag? :)
