Date men from United States / Alabama / Verbena, 37 year old

Date someone special from Verbena, United States. I'm a laid back and easy going kind of guy. I'm always up for a good laugh and a good time. I try not to let things get me down; life's too short for that. I was raised in a large country family that is very close. Growing up, we were always joking and playing, but were still taught to be responsible, hard-working, and respectable to others. I'm still very close with my family, especially my nieces and nephews. I have them over often and try to treat them like my own because I've always liked being around kids, and would love to have kids of my own someday. I like to stay active; although sometimes just watching a movie or something with someone special is nice. I'm open and honest with people. Communication is a must in any kind of relationship, and if you can't express yourself honestly with somebody then there's simply nothing there. I'm not into playing games and can't comprehend anybody that does.
What I'm looking for is someone that can be herself, not someone who turns into a fake to impress. Someone that likes to laugh and joke around and can take and give some ribbing. Someone that sees her goals are and takes the steps to achieve them, someone who's not afraid to try new things and yet can sit back and enjoy the simple things in life. A woman that will express her self and speak her mind and not make me guess what she's thinking or feeling. And definitely someone who doesn't base a relationship on jerks that she's dated in the past and therefore thinks each one is the same.
