About me: How can a mere dating profile even begin to truly describe what a wonderful (though perhaps not particularly modest) man I am? Although somewhat skeptical about this process of meeting a woman, I remain hopeful and open-minded. I am a professional, well-educated man who relocated from South Florida several years ago. An optimist who loves living and is impatient with life's brevity, I have what many have called a colorful, interesting, and strong personality. Among other activities, I enjoy playing (though not watching) many sports, hiking, walking, swimming, boating, travel, sightseeing, watching good movies, chess, astronomy, history, and reading. One of my great passions is music: I am a classical pianist who appreciates many other forms of music. I especially enjoy creating my own piano arrangements of motion picture musical themes and popular songs. Physically, I am fit, healthy, youthful, approximately 190 pounds, and muscular.
I'm looking for: Since nobody is perfect, I will dispense with presenting a list of characteristics of my "ideal woman". (I will mention, however, that I would prefer that the woman live either in Virginia; Maryland; or Washington, DC.) I will simply assert that she should be a kindred spirit. I will also highlight the importance of communication and honesty in any relationship.
