Looking for a single, mature (except under certain circumstances), passionate, stable, educated, and successful man. I enjoy humor and sarcasm. I love cooking and interior design shows, driving around aimlessly, sleeping in the outdoors, hiking and getting dirty; but am just as comfortable in a gown at a formal event. I even enjoy reading tabloids as it distracts me and requires no thought or concentration.

I have no (good) recent photos (hence the cell phone shots), but will attempt to upload some soon. BTW, the glamour photo was me as I looked coming directly from work. No hair styling, no heavy makeup.

Preferably drinks, and then perhaps dinner. Perhaps a walk or even just coffee. I think elaborate first dates are ridiculous. If it does not work out money and time have been wasted. Worse case scenario, one of you IS into theis elaborately planned date and the other is not. Nothing worse than a romantic evening with only one engaged.

I dislike chain restaurants, although yes I will frequent Taco Bell and Subway on occasion. Love restaurants with ambiance and good cuisine (and where I can actually hear my date). It does not have to be fancy - many hole in the wall places are my favorite.
