Wow - I hate this part. I am honest, open and direct. You won't have to wonder what's on my mind, because I'll say it. I consider myself very much a gentleman and always try to show it. The exterior is the athletic, outdoors, somewhat "rugged" type. If you take time to look inside you will see the rest - the one that writes poetry and prose and has more feelings than you could ever imagine. I would like to find that special someone that is not only my soulmate but also my best friend. Someone that enjoys similar interest - and someone that makes me smile. I am very much a one person person - and that will be the person that I want to spend the majority of my time with.

First date? This is a tricky one...........
That would depend on who the date was with and what they liked to do. I am pretty open minded. My first date could range from a nice dinner to going kayaking. Going to a movie or sitting by a fire outside on a star lit night and talking - getting to know each other. Just no definite answer here........
