I am an optimist (no, not an Eye Doctor) while also being a realist. That being said, if I ever find my cup...it is more than half full. I try to live a healthy lifestyle and although I currently smoke, I am working on quitting. Some of my interests are music (playing acoustic guitar and singing), outdoor photography, camping & fishing, but I also have recently enjoyed cooking & BBQing. I am into the outdoors but also all the fun and interesting places that this city has to offer. I am ultimately looking to develop a long-term relationship with one amazing lady, though I would like us to discover this about each other while doing fun and interesting things. Not looking to exchange relationship resumes -- no Pessimistic Princesses or Divas of Doom please; so if a rain cloud manages to follow you around, please check the next profile (I think that guy may have an umbrella)! Not a fan of emailing back and forth. Let's first meet to see if we've got chemistry; if it works for both of us, we can make arrangements for a first date soon afterwards. I'd rather determine if there is any mutual interest over a quick face to face conversation, than to find this out on a date. We can share some interesting and fun stories about ourselves that say a little something about who we are.
