Date men from United States / Alabama / Thorsby, 40 year old

Date a man from Thorsby, United States. Ok, so I'm new here and I'm here for the same reason everyone else. This is kind of bad for me because I'm aware of the types of things that men do on sites like this. Sadly, that puts me at an appreciable disadvantage right off the bat but here goes anyway. I'm an average guy I suppose. I've been single for awhile now and I'm tired of eating alone. The conversations are really boring when there's no one on the other side of the table. Also, I get some pretty strange looks. So what I'd like is for someone to respond and tell me that they would love to go out with me sometime. I'm not looking for sex, there are plenty of girls roaming around that will gladly offer that too any guy that happens along and those girls frighten me.
I'm not a knuckle dragger, I can speak fluent english as a first language. I'm a guy though so you'll have to be patient with me. I do like to surprise a woman with random flowers for no reason or some other little surprise just out of the blue. I listen very well and pick up on those subtle hints that other guys miss so when I give a gift, it's usually the right one. I like fine dining as well as fast food and I love long walks to nowhere. I like driving to nowhere in particular and seeing where I end up. I've found some really neat places that way, I just can't remember how to get back to some of them.
Being a guy, I come with the standard short term memory and all the problems associated with that. The upshot is, I get to hide my own easter eggs. I have most of the flaws normal guys have but I do have the grace to admit I have them and I am willing to work on them and try to improve those flaws for the right person. Of course being a guy, I'm not a snappy dresser. Being colorblind doesn't help that at all. I don't need help dressing myself though, I buy simple colors that are easy to match.
No for the opposite end of the spectrum, what I'm looking for. That's a tough one. Apparently, I'm looking for a woman, someone of the human race would be nice. Ideally I'm looking for someone that has a decent vocabulary, it helps conversations move along. Maybe someone that I have something in common with. I think that might help a bit. Aside from that, I'm open to suggestion. Hopefully being here will help me in my search. If you've read this far and still think that I might be interesting enough to talk to, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.
