The three words that describe me best are: intelligent, athletic and reliable. While I am much more than these three words can convey, they do provide a pretty good summary of what I am like. If you add in a dry and sometimes silly sense of humor and an easygoing personality, you have the essence of my persona. I try to live a well-rounded life with a balance between my personal and professional commitments. I am basically happy with my life but I know it could be better with the right woman.

The right woman has an approach to life similar to mine. She shares some of my interests and I share some of hers. She is intelligent, active, communicative, fun, mature, independent and kind. She is looking for a life partner. She desires to live in the suburbs.

I believe a first date should take place in a casual setting so the man and the woman are more relaxed and conversation flows more naturally. Meeting for coffee, taking a walk, discussing a film or a book, or visiting a museum are examples of first dates I like.
