I believe in appreciating the simple pleasures in life, taking in each moment. I have vast interests indoors and out and i consider myself open-minded and nonjudgmental. I need a balance of going out, living it up, and quiet me time. I love a great conversation which I believe is like a tennis match well played - no one hogs the ball, and the ball is always in the air.

One thing i've been called more than any other is "down to earth". So it must be true. Other words friends and lovers have described me with: Funny, smart, cool, thoughtful, insightful, affectionate, passionate.

My idea of an ideal relationship is when two people complement each other so that each is a better person because of the other, where they grow individually and as a partnership. What matters to me the most in any relationship is a mental/intellectual connection. And above all, a compatible sense of humor. You've got to be able to laugh together to thrive together.

When you click with someone, you just know it. You'll fit like puzzle pieces. And the rest is gravy.

We've got to be able to talk so it can't be too loud. Loud can come later. A cozy joint where we can relax over wine or****ails would be cool.
