I consider myself to be a decent man. Kind-hearted and caring, with a gentle soul. I enjoy sharing the company of one special person, and that can be in private, or in a large crowd. I have standards for myself regarding relationships, and would expect the same from a compatible woman. I am fairly laid back about most things, but not a pushover, especially when I feel strongly about something. I laugh easily - including at myself, in addition to a work hard/play hard philosophy. Looking to find someone compatible, and let's see where it goes. My ultimate goal is long term, but I would like to establish a solid foundation in a relationship first - friendship, compatibility, then sparks. Slow and steady wins this particular type of race. Explosive chemistry will invariably fade, while a well constructed and maintained fire will smolder and burn for the long haul. I am probably not the type to sweep you off your feet with a single glance, but over time, you will notice that your feet have left the ground of their own accord.
