The "nice guy" women always SAY they want, but are secretly scared of. Don't worry, I have quite a bad-boy streak/history as well. Fun loving guy with a wacky sense of humor, very well traveled, humanitarian, looking for a nice, simple girl who likes to hang out with friends, rent stupid movies or the occasional foreign film and must be affectionate (like me). My ideal date is curious, well-mannered when she has to be, not when she doesn't, understanding, open-minded, supportive etc. She will receive the same in return. looks aren't really that important- everyone has something beautiful about them. I've been told to add that I've been called an "eccentric artist type". Guess that's true ;-) I consider myself a work in progress (always) and am in a very exciting and positive transitional period. If you’re not changing you’re not moving.My ideal first date: I'd just want to talk in a nice pub over some drinks and get to know each other. Something relaxed where we can talk and I can hear what you're saying. Or... meet on a small island off the coast of southern Thailand for Pad Thai and really bad beer beach-side while we talk, people watch and stand in the surf watching the plankton that glows all around you as if the universe had fallen into the sea. (true story ;-)
