Date men from United States / Colorado / Loveland, 43 year old - page 2

Date a soulmate from Loveland, United States. I was away from this site for quite a few months and would like to give it another try.
I'll start by saying that I really do think that most (all) of my friends and family would say I am a "nice" guy. Some may think that's not so great, I'm okay with it. It's true. I am almost always nice, and funny, and usually optimistic. Nice guys may finish last, but at least when I finish I'll still be a nice guy.
I might as well also admit that I'm a bit of a geek. I don't mean that I have poor hygine or a funny laugh, nor am I totaly lacking in social skills. But, I do like science fiction and fantasy.
I like hiking, fishing, and camping. I want to try new things. But, I'm not the guy who is outdoors every weekend. I think that on far too many of these profiles people say they want to go to Paris, Spain, China... Well, I do want to go to those places too. But, I'm also realistic enough to know that I may only get to go once in my life (or never). So, I will just enjoy the country and state I live in as much as I can. It really is more about who you are with than where you go.
I usually have a hard time knowing what to say about myself. That includes sending first time e-mails. However, I really don't think that I'm boring. It just takes a while to get to know me.
I think that I really am the guy who will be quiet, and not say anything for a long time. Then, when I get to know someone, or find a topic for discussion, I can talk for a long time.
I try not to dwell on it, but I do think politics are somewhat important. I say that I'm liberal, really I'm more middle of the road. I think that I would get along fine with anyone who is not far right.
I think that dating is finding things out. It's not just learning about what your date does, and does not, like. It's also finding out what is important to you, what you thought you would and would not need or like. I like to learn about people, and have them learn about me. But, from the start, I would rather be honest. It does me no good to say I'm a race car driver, baseball player, country singer, in this profile. Someone might figure out by the third date that some of it just isn't true.
