I am independent, intelligent (okay, relative to what?), enjoys laughing, witty, honest, loyal, affectionate, and thoughtful. While I have a strong personality, I am not pushy. I can be measured, as well as spontaneous.
Beyond the typical "attributes/characteristic" outlined, I am looking for someone who is loyal, thoughtful and thinking, comfortable in his skin, humorous, drama free, and does not mince words about his likes, dislikes, etc. I want to simply get to know someone and I believe it is difficult to do so when someone is not forthright when communicating.
Ok, who am I?

* Your vision of that perfect date? Answer: Honest in discussion about who he is and likes and dislikes, while just enjoying the moment for what it is. Comfortable conversing about politics, etc.
Fun Facts

Relationships
* What you’re looking for in a relationship? Answer: Someone honest about who he is, comfortable in self, and "not" a project. I am interested in someone stable and ready to commit to a relationship "IF" he meets that right person. I am not interested in someone looking for perfection.
* What you believe to be the keys to a successful relationship? Answer: Good question. First you clearly have to be attracted to one another. However, you can't build a relationship on just this aspect. I believe you have to respect and admire one another, be friends, and be able to enjoy each other's company. You have to be willing to be open and honest in your communication and have hobbies you do together and independent of one another.
