I am a single man, never married. I live a healthy lifestyle and stay physically active. I enjoy bowling, tennis, hiking, traveling (domestic and international). I also enjoy art, theater, music (a wide variety), movies, farmer's markets, street fairs and just spending time with friends. I am social, but have not dated a lot of different people. My friends say I'm a nice guy and I hope I am. In the last few years I have "taken the reins" of my life and have become more purposeful. Part of that has been a more healthy lifestyle, but also a realization that I want to find someone to spend my life with. I am close to my immediate family, but not in a way the interferes with other relationships. I want the opportunity to have a family. I would like to meet someone that is honest, active, intelligent and is seeking a long term relationship and is open to a family. I have a personal faith, but don't require a potential partner to have the same faith. Maybe the best way to find someone is not to try to match every aspect of people's lives, but rather just to meet good people.

I think when first meeting someone, lunch at a casual restaurant is the good and relaxed setting... or even just coffee. The idea is to have an environment where two people can talk, feel comfortable (as much as you can when you first meet someone), and just get to know each other better.
