Some adjectives to describe me: down to earth, loyal, confident, kind, fun, inquisitive, intelligent, optimistic, non-judgmental, affectionate, and adaptable with good values. I believe trust, common interests, lots of laughter, chemistry, passion, mutual respect, and good communication are some of the keys to making a relationship successful. Although I believe in women being able to take care of themselves, I find that gentlemanly gestures like opening the door and helping me with my coat do matter. I hope that small actions like these are not out of style; I am southern after all! So what am I looking for? In a nutshell... an intelligent, normal (a little quirkiness is endearing), fun, caring, reliable, emotionally available, strong/independent and grounded man with a high level of integrity who's interested in developing a meaningful relationship. I hope that's not asking TOO much. I've found that I click best with others that have value lasting relationships and similar values. I'm not interested in volume dating or playing games. I'd much rather spend quality time with one special person. If you think we might make a good match, drop me a note.
