Okay, so I know what I want and what I'm looking for and I don't think I'm asking for too much. I appreciate a guy who is honest and a good communicator. In other words, I may be able to read someone's body language, but I'm terrible at reading minds. And I can tell pretty early on is someone is reliable and respectful. But someone who can show me they are assertive (it's not that hard) and that they have a sense of humor, then I think we will get along wonderfully. Tall, athletic and attractive are always a plus.
I have two boys (who're the primary "men" in my life) with whom I spend some good "quality" time with. But since I don't see them all the time, I enjoy a fairly active lifestyle -- and up for almost anything (soooo many things I want to do and never enough time).
I'm sociable and love meeting new people so when I have plans, it's usually in a group setting.
I'm not one who tends to jump into something too serious too fast and, because we have not met yet and are doing introductions electronically, getting a chance to know each other might take a little time. I believe there's something to be said about first impressions and would welcome chatting via text or phone before a fact-to-face.
The way I see it: we might click; we might not -- either way, I'll hope to have made a new friend or activity companion.
I'm young at heart and at this point in life I tend not to take things too seriously or too personal. I'm good natured, easy going, but by no means confuse me for a pushover. Bad behavior slips by me on occasion, but I will cut ties if you're not a respectful person.
On a similar note, I have no time for games, whether we're just friends or dating, it is such a waste of time and life is just too short for silly drama. I'm honest and loyal almost to a fault. Note: a big turnoff for me is dishonesty. I adore positivity and enjoy hearing fun stories. Love to laugh and appreciate people who are open and aren't afraid to express themselves. I will respect you for your honesty even if we don't always agree. ;)
I really don't know what else I should put here (and I'll work on that), but maybe we can meet and discuss more of things we do and don't have in common and decide whether there's something there which may lead to our being more than friendly acquaintances.
