These few personal quotes describe me well:

"I'm looking for the right woman, not just "A" woman, but to find that right woman, I first have to be the right man."

"I used to believe that everything was black or white, how wrong I was. It's simply an RX for isolation."

"A friend of mine asked me the other night if I was happy, and I actually had to think for a minute, if I was or not. "There's nothing I want, or need for", I said, "so I guess I'm happy". You're right that didn't sound convincing to me either."

"Happiness doesn't come from having what you want, it comes from wanting what you have."

On a first date I want to get to know someone, at least a little. Something quiet, like a walk at Crystal Cove, then dinner or lunch depending on the time of day.
