OK, I really don't have much idea what to say here... Looking for casual dating, and then see where it goes. My life is pretty full right now, but there's always some down time, just looking for the right woman to share it with. When you find the right one, then you figure out where you're going from there.

Not looking for one night stands, but not holding my breath on meeting my "soul mate" in a single e-mail, either. Surely there must be something in the middle?

Conversation is a must, though. I can be pretty flexible on what we're doing, where we're doing it, or what we're talking about, but if you can't hold a conversation, I'll lose interest pretty quick.

Well, a first date is about getting to know each other (in real life, not through an e-mail), so somewhere where you can talk (and actually hear each other). A club or dancing maybe afterwards, but to start out dinner, a nice restaurant, and then see where the night goes...
