I am very intelligent, down to earth, happy, and ready to take that next step in life marriage and everything that goes along with it. I enjoy movies, walks in the park, select TV shows, very open to trying new things, love to learn, even-keeled, and looking for many of these traits in a best friend, although we should not be clones. I have a great family parents married forever super role models). I'm a kid at heart, too. I'm also an avid reader my tastes run the gamut from Tom Robbins, John Irving, Harry Potter, and Neil Stephenson to autobiographies about Adams, Truman and Rockefeller, and many other types of books).For more insight about me, here's what a good friend wrote about me (unedited). I include this because I think it helps showcase who I am: "He's intelligent, kind, sweet, down-to-earth, communicative, easy going and easy to be with, handsome, tall, entrepreneurial, has a great smile, and is looking for a true equal partner. What you see is what you get with him; there are no pretensions and I'm looking for a woman who is ready to take the next step in her life. She's seeking an equal partner and companion. Equal partner in that a marriage/relationship is about compromising and leveraging the strengths of each of us. You want a best friend. You and I need to be able to do "nothing" and like doing it, and be able to talk about anything and speak what we feel. My ideal partner should be intelligent, pretty, independent, and passionate about her interests. We get along, appreciate the strengths in each other and grow as people because of our ability to tap the best of each other and not focus on the differences. We are there for each other no matter what, but also we appreciate our differences and allow each of us to be ourselves....You don't have to enjoy everything that I do or visa verse, either. I also won't change you and don't expect you to do so with me. I am bendable, however, and hope you are too.I am creative, trustworthy, and playful
