Date someone special from United States. When I have free time I like to be active doing something, especially if it includes the outdoors. I love to camp, hike and explore new places. I gravitate more to the mountains, but also like the coast. I enjoy city life too-traveling, museums, live music, movies. I like to cook and entertain with friends. I've been known to host a friendly game of poker every so often! Travel is also important to me. I try to take a trip somewhere new every year or so. I went to the Galapagos earlier this year. My personality is more laid back and easy going. But I am decisive and can be a little stubborn sometimes. I'm open-minded and kind, I don't gripe/gossip about other people. I know what I like and how I want things to be and strive to make it happen. Not in a controling way, but when I set my sights on an idea, I want to take action. Life is too short so I don't let the grass grow too high! I'm adventurous, yet reliable and responsible. Due to my career, I am a professional so I taper it down appropriately. When getting to know someone, I'm reserved, nice, and well-mannered. I'm wanting to meet someone who can be my best friend and partner in life. I don't really expect a crack of thunder and instant chemistry the first time me meet, just enough to make me want to know you better. Send me a note or wink and we'll go from there.
