I am laid back most of the time, respectful and very fun to be around. I enjoy being outside doing different things. I can mix it with jeans on or a suite makes no never mind to me. I am very open minded and anything else you should step up and ask yourself, take a minute get to know I'm honest, genuine and direct. I do not judge by race but personality and what's in the heart. I cannot have enough friends, though I set the threshold very high to gain entry into my small coterie of friends. I love to listen and learn about the world through the eyes of others. I am easily flattered but seldom convinced. I seek to expand my horizons,socially, physically and emotionally.
I seek a woman that can hold her end of a conversation and can honestly articulate her needs and wants, can debate without being argumentative and defensive. Has to be kind hearted, easy going and have a relaxed demeanor. I'm not necessarily looking for something that heavy or life changing right up front (though I am open to that if it happens naturally)
Things I like in a woman: An infectious laugh, intelligence, unasked for compliments, clever sarcasm, opinions, financially independant, black dress's, a shy side and a strong sense of self.
Stuff I can do without: No desire for drama, intollerant attitudes, excessive amounts of jewellry (8 fingers-8 rings! No Thanks) loud, obnoxious drunks and no baggage, (that should be left at the airport)
So,there it is, drop me a line, lets start with friendship, maybe we hit it off and email turns into a date/meeting, maybe we don't, no big deal. Nothing to lose, right?

First date: I've done the cup of coffee thing and the dinner and those are fine, but sitting across from each other and having that total focus of attention can feel like an interview, but I think a walk around a park, it gives you something to focus on other than each other, so there's a lot less pressure.
