I really like down to earth girls, if having expensive cars, clothes, or possessions in general is important to you, then you're NOT important to me. I could have a million dollars, and I'd still love to live the way I do. what's important to me is finding love, raising a family, and growing old with my loved one.
secondly I'm not into the hollywood definition of beauty, I love women who have shape, strong willed minds, and a sense of what really matters in life (as I believe: 100 years after you're gone, no one will care what kind of car you owned, no one will care how big your house is, the only thing that matters is the mark you leave on this world. which unless you're a politician or a groundbreaking member of the arts and communications community, is your family).
I have a tremendous weak spot for women who are affectionate and romantic, as I am, that's pretty much my only prerequisite.
I've been fairly tired of being alone recently, I've spent the last 6 years alone to become more independent and self-reliant, I completely abstained from all aspects of relationships, because I don't enjoy the one night stand, so I've also been celibate for about 4 years (that I did to test my own personal mettle and my ability to be loyal to a cause and keep my word to both myself and my woman when it counts, and there were some times I thought about it, but the thought of being with someone I don't know whatsoever, bothers me.). I don't expect you to be an abstinent girl, that's not important, the important part would be that you're serious about a relationship and you're attracted to me, both physically and mentally.
I don't want to rush into a relationship, I don't even want to rush into meeting face to face, I really want us to get to know each other before we make that step.
I suppose since this is important, my car is gone, but I do have the ability to use a vehicle when needed.
I lost my apartment when I was laid off from my main job working at a warehouse, I've had to consolidate things a bit, but they're turning around for me, currently I'm making about 400 a month working 25 hours a month as a part time Home Health Aid, basically I just cook, clean and do the laundry for my employer, as well as a plethora of other domesticated tasks, I also have another job in the works which is about 1,600 a month, so my income is decent, not superb, but that's why I'm attending college, to further my life's goals.
I'm into virtually all types of music, I will do ANYTHING at least once, and I have a large array of interests from things like reading, and watching movies, to going out and maybe camping, something I never got the chance to do, and even boating, fishing, hiking. I haven't been much of an outdoorsy person lately, but that's because I've been too loaded down with work and studying for when I return to college.

if you would like to know more about me, just contact me, tell me about yourself, but if you're not open, I probably will lose interest in you, I love shy girls, but if you're so shy that you can't make conversation, then we probably won't be able to make things work, I can only go so far to make a relationship work, it's up to you to do the other part.

well, I doubt many women would go for this, especially without knowing me in person for awhile, but this would be my idea of a perfect date.
we would go to a park, or anywhere where it's somewhat secluded from society, I would prepare a completely home made (by me, yes I can cook exceptionally well) picnic, to your tastes, as I enjoy virtually every type of cuisine there is, we would be away from the technological world for awhile, basking in the beauty of the earth, taking a walk through the woods, running through a field of tall grass, ending it off with a glass of wine while we share our lives with each other gazing at the gorgeous tapestry of the night sky.
Or, since the weather is getting about perfect for this (this is my perfect date, one I have never had, but one I wish to share with the woman I love) Cuddling up on a wrap around couch, watching a time piece romantic movie (of which I know many), with a fire roaring in the fireplace, able to see through the bay window outside where we could watch the sunset, or the rainstorm, or the way the freshly fallen snow clings to the leafless branches of trees, bringing about a new life and beauty which is opposite, but as unique as the beauty of summer and fall. I would either cook for you, or let you cook for me (only if you insisted).
