About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

I can be shy at first, but with the right person I get more at eas, I would say that I am on the quiet side and definately, not into clubs. I don't like loud people either. I could write a whole lot about what I don't want instead of what I do want, but that is just being negative. One thing that I will say is that I don't want to be "just friends" I want a REAL relationship with all the normal "things" that go along with being in one. True, there has to be friendship in any realtionship, that goes with the territory, but if you are like me you are sick and tired of time wasters, and game players and of being on your own.I, like everyone else want all the things like going to the movies, listening to another person talking or just being together and sharing a meal.
Someone once said that these things are much like a resum' for a job application. Sure, we can make ourselves out to be a little more interesting, and put in lots of pretty words, which more than likely will turn out to be just flowery, self flattery, so how do we get the attention of the opposite gender, simple be ourselves and trust that a person will see the real human inside, one that is not perfect, but has flaws just like everyone else.

I'm looking for:

The person that I am looking for has to be first and foremost available, meaning NOT MARRIED or IN A RELATIONSHIP and looking for a BIT OF VARIETY, that is not why I am here.The reason that I started with that is because it get to the crux of what I am looking for, a person who is HONEST and NOT A GAME PLAYER.or TIME WASTER. I gues similar interests would be nice,so at least we would have things in common to talk about, because at the end of the day being "pretty" just means a whole lot of silence.There must be some substance to make a successful relationship.
I smoke so a smoker is cool [so long as it is NOT CIGARS]
Of course being caring,reliable,loyal would also be a plus.
I came across this little poem by some unknown author and I thought that it describes what it is that I am looking for in someone,
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way that she combs her hair,

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides,

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul,

It is the care she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with the passing years ---- only grows,

So if you understand this poem then you will understand me.
