Hello there, and thanks for checking out my profile. Was it my eyes? My smile? My uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt? (Ok, wake up, Eric!). I'm looking for a LTR, basically the last first date of my life. I'm not a commitment-phobe, but I'm not rushing into marriage either. Getting to really know someone takes time, experiencing both the good and the bad with them.

Lately I wonder if I'm motivated anymore. A had an ex from a long time ago tell me that, but then again, she was an over-achiever and the Semiformal queen. Go figure. I guess she never realized the rest of the world isn't exactly like her. But money doesn't motivate me. I'm happy with what I have. I don't have to have the latest and greatest. I've learned to appreciate the finer things we take for granted. Part of me worries that I purposely don't see what else is out there for fear of spending too much and getting out of control. I can't say I have the greatest live nor have I had the great life. Yeah I'm 35 and have never been married (which also means I've never been divorced), so part of me does worry. Maybe I'm just one of those people who have made good decisions throughout life. My only debts are my student loan from years ago and one dental bill. That's it.

I want someone I can spend time with, and by that I mean not just 15 to 30 minutes on the phone. It's ok for you to have two jobs, or one job and time spent getting a second education, and I don't mind kids at all. But I want someone who's willing to make time to get to know me, not just fit me in to their schedule. I'd like that special someone to think of a relationship that one can work toward, not simply an afterthought. You can work toward a better job or education, and a relationship is no exception. Please understand that I would like to spend time together, but in the same breath I won't make you choose me over a career or education, or try to change you into someone I want you to be. I hope I can get the same treatment in return.

I'm looking for someone who doesn't smoke and a social drinker, not a wild person but not a librarian either (although I have a fetish for glasses), someone kind and considerate, and someone who won't try to change the person I already am. I want someone who also knows when to use "there", "their", and "they're", please? It's not a requirement, but not knowing the difference can be a deal breaker.

I've read advice on websites about what and what not to put in a dating profile. Too often people put in what they want and don't want in a partner without listing what they can bring to the table. So, with me you'll find yourself laughing for hours with my jokes. I've been told I give good footrubs and backrubs (yet I always tend to doze off when I get 'em), and I've also been told that I'm a good cook. There's probably more but I don't like to put myself up on a pedestal. I'm also a fan of music from the 50's through the 80's, love Genesis and one-hit-wonders, but can still appreciate an acoustic gig here and there.

Depending on the weather, probably some mini golf, or just going out for coffee if meeting for the first time. I'm not much for bars and large social situations (unless the place needs a wallflower), but I've always favored a ride up on the incline and a nice view of the city from Mt. Washington. I don't go dancing as much as I used to though. The disco place closed down and who knows what will be playing at Matrix. Dancing seems more suited for a date later on anyway.

I prefer to meet first rather than date as it takes the pressure off to be romantic, which is helpful if the emotions are one-sided. I'd love to share funny stories and such while walking through the park and enjoying the scenery, talking about toys we played with when we were little, common things nobody has ever figured out, or even hearing funny stories about work.
