Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Orange Beach, 28 year old

Date someone special from Orange Beach, United States. I am a prior service Army Tanker. I joined in January 2002 and was Honorably Discharged in January 2007. I was stationed in Fort Knox, KY, Schweinfurt, Germany, and was deployed to Kosovo for six months and Iraq for a year. I am an amatuer filmmaker and an avid fan of the late Stanley Kubrick, director of A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket among others. I have wanted to become a filmmaker ever since the first time I saw A Clockwork Orange and have been working on some small projects.

Meet single girl from Orange Beach, United States. I am ready to meet guys who are over the games. I want to trust someone and be trusted. I want to share things with someone who feels the same. I want a best friend first I LOVE my family, dog, and friends, and he has to feel the same. I am not looking to rush into anything. I am even up for making friends, so if you just want to be friends, I am totally cool with that. I am working on my master's degree and I hope to get back into the classroom one day.
I want someone who wants to explore the world and see what all is out there. I am not a risk taker, but I think if I had someone I trusted who was patient with me and taught me new things, I would take more risks. I love to learn and I am definitely looking for that intelligent guy, who is still open-minded. I love to laugh, I love music, I want to learn how to cook. I can grill, but I am not quite as good in the kitchen. ha! My brother and sister have that down to a science. I am the middle child - older brother, younger sister. I love them dearly. My parents have been married for over 35 years.
I just want someone to enjoy life with, who appreciates the small things we often take for granted. I am so very thankful that God blessed me with the life I have. I cannot imagine it any other way. I wear my heart on my sleeve, so if you don't like to talk and share things, I am not interested. I don't know how I feel about someone who already has kids either. It would probably be something I would have to feel out. I am honest. If you don't want to know the answer, don't ask the question.
I am new to this online dating thing, not real sure how I feel about it, but thought I'd give it a try!
