About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

I'm a gentleman above all, an East coast romantic, Italian, Christian guy, passionate and artistic with a thinker's mind. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, trust too quickly, and generally give everyone 1 chance. I look and live MUCH younger than my age, but I'm not immature! Love to cook gourmet (I volunteer to cater dinners at a church, serving as many as 250 guests), red (over white) wines, dig the outdoors (sports, hiking, mountainbiking, etc.), play guitar, love live blues/jazz, running with my dog (She's THE world's best dog!) I'm a BIG football fan,& a HUGE Dave Matthews fan. I work hard, and usually know when it's time to relax, or go play! I love a good philosophical discussion, and know when to agree to disagree. I'm not an ass kisser. I'm consistently me, and I don't change based on who I'm with or where I'm at... Take me as I am, because that's all I've got, and (not to boast, nor sound like Stuart Smally, but) I'm pretty proud of who I am, what I've accomplished in life, and the mud I've trudged through. After all, isn't it easier to just be yourself, than pretend to be something you're not? And the only way you'll ever know if someone truly likes/loves you, for you, is to be yourself, 'eh??? Ok ok ok... I know! The grammar police are coming for me on that one, but let's get real people!!!

I just recently relocated back to Seattle. Things are great, but it would be nice to share it with someone, maybe break away for a day trip or a weekend now and then. Eating at fine restaurants alone, it's just a drag!

I'm looking for:

She should have at least these characteristics: Attractive (has to be an initial conenction, but I am generally attracted to the "girl next door" look, black hair, that can dress up/down, flirty, conservative or sexy, and still be herself), active, outgoing, respectful, down-to-earth, sensual, passionate, confident, educated, conversational, adventurous, playful, and a sense of humor is a must. No, really! Make me laugh! Race is not important, but religious beliefs are. I am a Christian, and I need someone who shares my beliefs. She must be truthful. I'm not into playing games (unless it's pool or chess!), so I'd expect her not to be either. IT WOULD HELP if she likes football! Hey, a guy can wish, right? But, be yourself. I don't need the needy, the fixer-uppers, those with "potential" still escaping them. You should have a life of your own that you're excited about sharing with someone, because it will bring you happiness to share your happiness... Just a thought... Oh, and I'm not here to be a sugar daddy, for the record.
