I am a stable professional, employed as an online marketing executive. I am a good listener, honest, always willing to lend a hand and give a lot of myself to others. My loyalty and patience are among my strongest virtues. I enjoy cycling, rock climbing, camping, hiking, dancing, cooking, reading, good cinema, theater, and much more.

Generally, I'm seeking someone in a reasonable age range who is thoughtful and intelligent, affectionate and nurturing, adventurous and fun. I would like to meet someone who is enthusiastic about life and embraces the human experience with all its ups and downs. I'm attracted to women who value substance more than image. I enjoy the finer things in life but refuse to let them dictate my happiness. I admire and respect creativity (this is wide open, I'm not looking for an artist per se, for there are many ways in which artistry manifests itself). I think it will take a woman with some amount of creativity to keep me interested. I am affectionate, so I'd like someone who will receive such tenderness and return it in kind.

My idea of a perfect first date would be something that would allow us to talk and get to know each other. Something casual so we would both feel relaxed. We could meet for coffee or drinks, go to an art gallery, go to a bookstore, take a walk in the park, go roller skating or rock climbing - anything that might give us an opportunity to have fun together and enjoy each others company. I'm the kind of guy who will open the door and pull the car around so my date doesn't have to walk through the parking lot. While I gladly follow the dictates of chivalry, I appreciate a woman who is gracious enough to recognize that it is not necessary.

My perception of an ideal relationship is one where the partners support and encourage each other. Honesty, trust, patience, compromise - these things form the basis of a healthy relationship.

Taking it one day at a time.

Making chicken cacciatore.

My calming energy.

The people who have touched my life.

While I have had bisexual experiences, I have never dated men and I am not interested in dating men. I am here to meet an interesting woman and establish a long term relationship.
