I am outgoing, positive, optimistic, good at conversation. A great best friend, looking to the future not dwelling on the past. Fun, energetic, I want someone who has time to spend with me and wants to build a strong relationship one step at a time. Wants to get to know me and to do things together. I would like to get to know someone with a good heart who cares about putting friendship first. I do value taking the time to build a relationship; there is no short cut to getting to know someone. I like to smile and laugh so someone who has a fun dynamic personality is a must. I do not play games and value honesty I only want to know someone who doesn't lie and play with someone's emotions that really understands what they are looking for and has the time to commit to getting to know someone and wants to communicate and share good times with someone who shares their values and interests. I enjoy being active, going out, hiking, sports, dining, movies, dinner theater, concerts. I also enjoy spending time in too it does not always have to be about going out. My personality is light-hearted I am an independent thinker who likes the dynamic of a committed relationship, one where the chemistry, along with the desire to get to know each other, are mutual. Free-flowing communication is the key. I am comfortable in my own skin, the outer package changes, but I believe the heart stays the same. In spite of my great sense of humor and easy-going personality, I can also be pretty intense. I like to think that together, they make for a good combination. My goal is not to merely date. I want a mutually satisfying relationship. A few characteristics that I have and would appreciate in someone else is being attentive, caring, self motivated, and has a direction that they are headed for in life .
