Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / London, 52 year old

Date a man from Arkansas, United States. What can I say? Single and finally thinking about changing it.
I like to think I have a good sense of humor, although I can get so distracted by something I am focused on that Groucho could fall right in front of me and go unnoticed!
Some have described me as complex. I strive to be laid back and even tempered, but can be fiery if the wrong principles are challenged. I am loyal, and attentive, yet must have my own space from time to time.
"Brians Song" made me cry, and Keri Strug landing a vault on a busted ankle in the Olympics (the bravest thing I have ever witnessed for real) practically dropped me to my knees.
I believe in, well if you have ever seen "Bull Durham", just fill in the blank with Kevin Costner's speech. If not, I will do my best to repeat it in another time and place(with a couple of omissions). Although I must confess that I wouldn't know Susan Sontag from Salmon Rushdie. I also believe that "Schindlers List" and "Saving Private Ryan" should be required viewing for every american; too many of us take our blessings for granted, and wouldn't recognize sacrifice if it sat on us.
I look forward to meeting someone with an easy laugh, a gentle spirit, a big heart, and a healthy dose of common sense. It would also help if she LIKES me.
I don't know that I have a perfect date. I really look forward to a long talk with a Woman with whom I can share ideas, hopes, dreams, gripes, disappointments, triumphs, joys, (the blessing that is spell check, I screwed up "disappointments"). Enjoying a good meal together, a great view, wonderful music. Friends. Family. A drive in the country. And yes, I do enjoy the time honored "dinner and a movie", or dinner and a play.
Enough for now.
