I'm a supporter, a passionate and tenacious person, and someone who just wants to do the right thing. I feel strongly and deeply about those I care about and want nothing more for my friends and family to find happiness and success--and I'll do what I can to help them achieve that.

Above all, I want to find my best friend; that person I can look at and tell what she's thinking and she can do the same. I would like to meet a woman who has compassion, passion, curiosity, a sense of adventure; and a woman who isn't afraid of her femininity, who is just as comfortable and confident in a pair of jeans as in a little black dress.

I'm interested in seeing what happens. I don't want to force anything that isn't there--I'm willing to let things happen organically.

I'm afraid I'm pretty bad at writing these introductory "here's who I am" essays. Here's what I can tell you: I'm not your average guy and I try to be a genuine person; I work hard in my professional job and my hobbies so I do tend to have a pretty full life. That being said, I want to share my life with a woman who is my best friend and compliment.

The first date is really dependent on the person I'm taking out. I could imagine it to be a lazy Saturday morning coffee date at an independent coffee shop followed by a walk in a nearby park. Or it could be dinner at dusk watching the sun set over Lake Erie. I like to let my dates be organic and have some natural flow to a loosely formulated plan, rather than having some sort of strict "John Hughes-ish" ideal first date.
