caring, reliable

For the most part, I initially tend to be on the quiet side. But, if the timing and the topic are right, I can be an excellent conversationalist. Once I grow to know someone, I can be very comfortable around them. I have a good sense of humor but am also into having serious conversations. When I feel strongly about something, I’ll be sure to let people know.
My other personality traits:-
I try to be a decent guy. In fact, most people you might ask would probably describe me as “a nice guy”. Sometimes that works against me though, like in the case that I’ve always had a number of female friends but rarely had anyone that was more that that. I’m into simple things and not a big fan of being excessive. I’m a good listener who will be there for you when you need me but I’m not the kind who takes kindly to feeling crowded or smothered.
Your ideal partner and the qualities you are looking for:-
I want to find a girl who can appreciate simple things like going to sporting events, eating at decent restaurants, stopping by a museum, enjoying a day in the park... She should have a nice personality and be fairly intelligent. She should be on the conservative side but still have a little wild streak when appropriate. As for physical attributes, I’m seeking someone between 18-30, preferably white or Latino (but I appreciate all races). I’d hope she’d be somewhat pretty, but personality is more important. What I don't want is one of those bar hoping bimbos or girls who practically live at a nightclub. Anyone can start something up with them, but who would want to? Showing a little sense of maturity is much more attractive.
