I am an work in progress type of person. I work at fixing my faults and I expand my good qualities. I am slow to warm up to a person but once a person becomes a friend I tend to keep the friendship for a long time. I can be reclusive, quiet, but more open with the right person. I have a daughter, who is the center of my world, she and I enjoy photography, and other arts. I don't like women who can be mistaken for longshoreman, but instead I like the type of woman who fits into any social situation as the occasion calls for. I enjoy going through antique shops, and yes even though I stand up to pee I like rummage sales. One never knows when a bargain on tools or rare kitchen appliances can be found. lol. What makes me unique is as simple as being the individual that I am, no two people are alike and what any of us are looking is someone to compliment the person you are. A woman doesn't have to like sports to " identify" with me. I am not a big sports fan, I am also not into NASCAR, I don't believe that not liking those thing will disqualify me from Al Bundy's He Man Club, and if it does tough. lol.
My hobbies and interests tend to favor the arts, being around creative people. I, again being a work in progress, can learn from those whom I feel are accomplished artists, photographers, sculptors, etc.

First date, I am guessing if we have exchanged e-mails, and maybe phone conversations that we would have figured what we wanted to do. Basically, a public place to put both people at as much ease as possible. A place conducive to conversaton, not a loud raucous sports bar. For coffee drinkers, a coffee shope would work, as long as they serve tea or soft drinks. This jeep doesn't run on coffee.
