I'll be blunt so I can save you a great deal of time from having to read a ton of useless information. Since I'm an awesome guy (or at least that's what people repeatedly tell me), you should drop me a line and tell me why you're an awesome woman! As you can probably already tell, being silly/goofy comes naturally to me. I can, however, be serious and responsible when I need to be. I have an awesome sense of humor. I love to laugh. I'm often told that I have a gift for helping others relax, especially after a long, stressful day at work. I enjoy telling jokes and long entertaining stories. I love music, especially classic rock. Since I used to play in a big band, I usually try to go out dancing (I'm working on mastering the Salsa) or listen to live bands on the weekends. I try to ski or snowboard whenever I can. I'm happy doing just about anything as long as I'm spending quality time with people that I care about. I learned a long time ago that while money is important, the best things in life are free. I am a decent chef and like to cook when I have the opportunity to do so. I'm told that I'm intelligent, very easy going, open minded, and adventurous. I enjoy just about every sport, especially skiing, snowboarding, tennis and racquetball. I try to work out 2 - 3 times a week to work off stress that comes from running my own business. I've got the most incredible dog that I go running with. Although I don't have too many requirements for a significant other, I might find it difficult to be with someone that is not a dog loverI would like to meet a woman that has a great sense of humor, a heart of gold, is easy going, loves dogs (my dog has to play fetch 24 hrs a day), is honest and sincere. I am attracted to women that have a positive attitude, a great smile, don't play games, and know what they want out of a relationship. I like to take the time necessary to get to know each other as friends first. My ideal match knows her passions, values, and ideals -- and lives them. Oh, and she hugs well!

A first date may range from hanging out in a park (possibly with my Golden Retriever, who would fetch a million and one tennis balls)to checking out live music, going salsa dancing, or simply hanging out on a bench downtown on the mall and doing some great people watching while getting to know each other in a low pressure environment.
