Dream. Live. Love. Imagine. Are you an optimist? Me too! Amusing and entertaining, I get along well with everyone I meet – definitely a "bottle half full" person. Sharing this energy keeps a person alive. A great trust, faith and loyalty put in others is essential, and returning them is equally. Friends find me hard-working, self-reliant and independent. Ability to thrive on many varied activities, freedom from controls and limitations on creativity, and tending to responsibilities with attention to detail has lead to a happy life.

I am dependable, caring, loving. With the right woman, after a while if there's potential, I become quite affectionate and intimate. It's easy to tell how I'm feeling – ask me!

As a people-person, I need interaction. While socially oriented, I prefer only a few extremely close friends to a large crowd of average friends.

Strangers find me a comfortable communicator; maybe very shy at first, then extraordinarily outgoing. Sympathizing with the feelings and needs of others tends to draw people to me. I work hard to help enable others to find happiness by acting as a positive motivating force in their lives, and listen attentively to other's ideas and concerns – though this doesn't mean I'll agree! I tend to be supportive in decision-making situations and accomplishing goals, and find that people frequently come to me for advice. I value my humility. I frequently seek the advice of others to become better.

Are you a best friend, a passionate lover, and a partner in crime? Interested in exploring life a little, and staying in together too? Adventurous? Off balance and quirky? Is the idea of planning for the future, and changing plans from time to time to sail into uncharted waters exciting?

OK, so there's some fine print! I'm looking for someone like myself: moderately healthy, addiction free, non-smoking, and drug-free. Quirks are OK - even fun sometimes.

Even if you're just passing through, remember: Dream. Live. Love. Imagine.
