Single since September, 2007, I am looking to find love again. I want to find someone to date, have fun with, and hopefully lead to a long term relationship. I am considered to be a nice guy by my friends, a quiet non-partier, likes to joke around. I hope to meet someone nice who likes to be treated nice and who wants to have some fun. Hopefully it will lead to something long term, but one step at a time. I recently lost about 70 pounds, going from 220 to 150 lbs by dieting and walking. I have a job, I own a house, I am not looking for anyone to financially support me. I like to paint (oil paintings, I just started about a year ago), read, watch movies, play volleyball, and am open to doing just about any activity. Also, I am fairly normal, no major issues. I am hoping to find someone who is kind, likes to do a variety of things, and is seriously looking for someone to treat her as well as she deserves. I am not looking for any one night stands, that's not why I am here.

I am open to just about anything on a date, but a first date should be about getting to know someone, which means somewhere quiet where you can talk to someone without interuption. Time for a more fun date later on.
