Date men and women from United States / Alabama / New Castle, 43 year old

Date someone special from United States. My quirks: I like to wake up early but get up slowly aided by reading the paper and drinking a cup of coffee. I prefer to eat my salad after the entree. I like dogs, and having a significant relationship, neither of which I have right now! Fall and winter are my favorite seasons. I like natural wool. Brown is my favorite color. I am an optimistic realist.
What others would say about me: An intelligent and witty guy who happens to be honest, caring, sharp, strategic, and a loyal friend that likes to laugh and is attracted to people that smile, a girl that has a dog would be a huge bonus for him! (Sounds just like the guy you are looking for, right?) I’m sure that there are not-so-flattering things being said as well but I’ll let you come up w/ that list after we know e/o! People would also say that I am a bundle of contradictions, i.e.: I favor capitalism but advocate for social justice. I like the mountain lifestyle but love Wash D.C. and Chicago. I mine for data but try to be pragmatic. I like to dine out-tent side or window side in the city. I like detailed people but I talk in concepts. I like having conversations with you when you take the opposing view and we have a verbal duel, then we laugh…. hug…kiss…and make up… I like to be serious and goal oriented but I also like to let it all out and have a fun time! 'Fun time' for me generally includes either having a great outdoor experience or trying a new dish in the city, could also mean having a conversation or experience that casuses me to think and is so impactful that I consider it a life evolving / altering moment. Recently I have gone from having rather conservative views but am now moving towards being a moderate conservative, my grandfather would think that I am making progress!
In my time away from work I volunteer, read a lot, participate in community events, and hike/bike/trail run/ski esp skate skiing.
A relationship w/ a significant other is a very important part of ones life. It requires a sense of self understanding first and then the relationship takes that even further. The relationships that I admire all have some things in common: best friends, similar parenting approach, continue to go on dates, laugh and smile w/ e/o a lot, play together and maintain individuality all at the same time. And believe it or not but none of them met on �The Bachelor’! Relationships are sources of strength, trust, encouragement, growth, and fun! There are times of angst and hurt feelings in relationships, that is the vulnerability that we all risk, it is okay as long as there is commitment to learn from the times that we hurt e/o and not to repeat those actions again.
I am excited to see who I meet on match.com, would love to hear all about you and see if we can be friends and then possibly more.
