I'm just a basic guy who loves to work with his hands and mind. Tool belt or suit and tie, either works for me. Likes include anything outdoors, shopping, yard sales, day trips, computers and more. I live in the country just outside of town. Huge, beautiful house belonging to close friends (I have my own private apartment here) with acreage and amenities. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else! 4 Jack Russells here always looking to play or be petted, so liking pets would be a good thing.
I'm nothing out of the ordinary, 5' 6", 170 lbs, never been called ugly. Easy to get along with as there's not much I don't enjoy. Prefer the "at home" lifestyle over bars, unless there's a really good band or comedy act. Fishing and boating are among my passions, but my favorite has to be building, repairing, renovating and improving. For me, problems are challenges needing an answer. Finding the answer can be fun! I live one day at a time, being today. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow hasn't happened, so not much can be done about them.
Taking the time to know one another while exploring mutual OR individual interests would be the way to get the ball rolling. It thrills me when she looks fine, meaning the track pants are in the closet, not the skirts or dresses. Affection is always open, a light touch, holding hands, arm in arm, hugs and kissing. Doesn't get uppity if I open doors, pull out chairs, cook & serve a meal (I make a hell of a breakfast!) or just plain do something unexpected or nice just because I want to. Stormy days best spent curling up together, watching movies (I'll make the popcorn!) or anything else so long as it's together.
Being apart, even a short while, would cause a yearning that just makes things that more special when we are together. Coming home at the end of a day becomes rushing home! Always allow a new day to dawn with it's potential, never carry anger forward. Truth and trust have to be paramount, if we're going to doubt why are we even on here looking to fill the gaps in our life? Trust includes not suffocating each other, and recognizing that there will be times when separate interests will occur. Girls or guys nights out should be taken as just that, not held in suspicion. Care and respect for each other, anticipating and acting on needs, supporting goals and interests with enthusiasm become a way of life, not rewards for meeting demands. Spontaneous actions such as just get up and go at the drop of a hat to wherever the wind carries us adds spice to our interests, rather than being viewed as an interuption of some sort.
Feel free to drop me a line, it's free and it never hurts to try anything once, unless it's something obviously stupid (like checking for gas leaks with a lighter. Not me, but I saw it happen!)
Enough about me already! How about hearing something from you...
Thanks for dropping by, and Happy Fishing! May the New Year fill your limit like I hope it fills mine.

Meet somewhere public until comfortable, someplace quiet so that conversation can actually happen! Then mutually decide what this town has to offer might be appealing at the time. Walking & talking is good, as is a snowball fight at this time of year! Perhaps each select a favorite spot or activity to explore together and gain further insight to one another. Anticipation would see us eagerly planning the next time...
