About me: No photo, no response. I am a bit shy, although people seem to think that's a funny way to describe me after they meet me. I am not into the bar scene, loud head banging music or crude people. Slightly old fashioned values with a touch of trendiness to my physical appearance. Definitely not interested in following the crowd or keeping up with the "Joneses". Enjoy bike riding, long walks, fine dining, lectures, nature, festivals, yard sales, flea markets, being outside, cultural events, museums, theater, photography (especially black and white), self improvement, exploring new places and new foods. I enjoy cooking and learning about new things and have a constant thirst for knowledge. I love animals and have 2 very large dogs that I adore, and want you to know upfront that sometimes they can be restrictive to my activities.
I'm looking for: I would like to believe that there are still honest, deeply caring, warm, sensitive, compassionate gentleman out there that respect the fact that ladies still exist. One who is genuinely interested in the needs, feelings and desires of another as well as their own. Someone who wants to explore life with someone special, learn and grow with that person, build a life and follow dreams together. Someone who is passionate about the things they do and wants to share. Someone who works hard at the relationships in their lives and communicating and realizes they require care whether you feel like it or not. Someone who is open to listening, especially when someone is saying things that they might not want to hear. Someone who has goals, takes pride in what they do, has a high level of integrity and respects not only himself, but those around him. I really want to share my time, energy, thoughts and effort on someone who is open minded. I want a partner who is creative, has an adventuresome spirit and shares in the responsibility of seeking out these new things to do. Someone who is somewhat settled in their life and not caught up in too much drama and nonsense.
