I like to laugh, learn, be challenged, be amused and offer it all back if wanted. There's also a deep affinity for nature, natural and artistic beauty. I appreciate men who are intelligent but at times self-deprecating, comfortable with themselves, kind to people and animals, and have a good relationship with their family members. I enjoy great conversation, food and wine with someone who is easy going but spirited. Intensity is OK at times, but so is quiet and calm.

I am not looking for anyone in particular; we would both know fairly quickly if we want to get to know one other, right?

I would like to meet and talk over a non-Starbuck's coffee or a drink. And see.
First real date can be anything - it's about the person.
