Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Bryant, 36 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. let's see....I am a single laid back guy. I am quiet, at least until I get comfortable....but still have my quiet moments. I dont know many around here because I am not from here. I am looking to make some friends and then who knows. I like sports and love playing tennis. I may be a little sarcastic, down to earth and very considerate and sensitive. I love to laugh. I love playing sports and working out. I love being around my friends and staying busy and going out. There are times that I love to stay home and snuggle watching a movie or cooking dinner.yes, I can cook. I love doing outdoors things, fish, some hunting, camping, horses, walks, and picnics. I belive that honesty and loyalty and faithfulness are the number one characteristics that one must have. One motto that I live by is that "I say what I mean and mean what i say." I would love to find "the one" but if all I meet are friends, that is fine as well.
Who i'm looking for:
Someone who is intelligent( a big must, at least some education), considerate, confident, careing, loving, has ambition, goals, ethics attractive, atheltic, who loves to do things. Bonus points for someone a bit artsy. I have a profound respect for the arts. Someone who can dress classy when she has to and look elegent. Someone who can get their hands a little dirty when needed. Someone who wants to have fun and that we can lose ourself in an evening of laughter or games or going out doing whatever or even just loooking at the stars. I am looking for someone who is willing to be a best friend and supportive, because I will be as well. Someone who understands the need to "air laundry" is to be done in priviate. Also...NO DRAMA. save it for someone else. life is too short to be worrying over things like that.
I love being with my friends. we have a tight friendship. we do a lot of things together. I wouldnt mind either shareing that time or sharing my friends with the right person. friends mean alot, but I want someone in my life who means just as much that I can share. I want a best friend that I love and can grow old with. I am doing this because I am tired of the bar scene. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices out there. I work a lot and stay busy so it is really hard for me to meet people. I am a little shy at first but then I warm up. Once that happens I am very outgoing around you. It takes that little bit of getting to know someone before I let loose. haha.. if any of this fits you I would love to hear from you.
