I was born in Michigan, but have lived in Oklahoma for the past 25 years or so. I'm looking for an intelligent woman with a good sense of humor and somewhat laid back. I'm shy & quiet at first, but I do open up once you get to know me. I can be somewhat independent/solitary (gotta have my "me" time), my match will hopefully be the same way.

For fun I like to go out to eat, see movies, watch DVDs at home, board games, etc. I do like to go to concerts (although I do it infrequently). My music tastes range from classic rock, alternative, and some country.

Favorite food: American, Italian, Mexican

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite books: Some Stephen King (Dark Tower series, The Stand, Different Seasons), Caleb Carr's The Alienist, Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

Movies: Action, Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Mystery, Sci Fi, Thriller, Western. (Wall-E, Iron Man, The Dark Night, & Appaloosa are my most recent favorite movies.)

Phase 1 would be an informal "get to know one another" type thing. Get a cup of coffee or ice cream or whatever somewhere and chat for an hour or two. Phase 2 would be the actual "first date".
