I am 34, single, and looking for a honest, genuine, caring, affectionate man for dating and possibly more. I have been in the dating world a long time and have had a lot of disappointments. I'd just like to find a man who makes me happy and is happy just being with me. I want to be with someone who isn't into lies or games, and who isn't always looking to trade up for the next best thing.

The ideal first date for me can be pretty open. I like the idea of a man who's willing to surprise me and is open to a few surprises himself. I like going to dinner, movies, and going out for the occasional drink.
