Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Yampa, 39 year old

Date someone special from Yampa, United States. Hi There,
I'm giving the internet matchmaking thing a try in hopes of meeting some new friends and hopefully lots more. I'm a pretty humble guy so I am not good at talking myself up, so here goes; my friends would describe me as level headed, funny, honest, creative, hard working, goal oriented and trustworthy. I usually come across as shy and quiet at first but will open up quickly once I get to know someone. I enjoy doing activities that involve the outdoors such as camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. I also enjoy woodworking, gardening and doing improvements to my house. I especially enjoy quiet evenings at home grilling, watching movies, watching an Avalanche game, cooking dinner together, talking, and playing games or cards. I enjoy going out once in awhile but I am most definitely not one for hanging out in bars and I am usually the quiet one when around lots of people.
My ideal lady would be down to earth, light hearted, funny, enjoy outdoor activities, and not be afraid to go after the things she wants in life. I'm not necessarily looking for someone exactly like me but if we share some of the same interests that would be wonderful. If she introduced me to some new experiences that would be an added bonus. I am open to dating someone who already has children as long as there is a mutual understanding of the complexities that go with that. I would want her to be able to talk and be available emotionally. I believe honesty is the best policy and prefer somebody also believes that. I would also like to find someone who takes time out to enjoy the little things in life.
I can have fun doing most anything with the right person. I'm looking for a best friend, a lot of chemistry, lots of fun, and a lifetime of honesty. I am independent but I do keep a close circle of friends. I do not need someone to take care of me but I am looking for a lifelong friend and partner. I hope this little snapshot gives you an idea of who I am. There is a lot more to me than I mentioned here as I am sure there is more to you as well, which I am excited to learn more about!!
