My ideal relationship:   

I'll let my other essays answer this one, except to say that an ideal relationship is so complex and can't be answered so easily.

My past relationships:   

I used to be naive and stay in bad relationships too long. I've become more realistic and will end something that's not working. I have few regrets.

I am looking for a:   

Honest, sincere, has a sense of humor, likes diverse music, and is attractive in mind, soul, and appearance.

My perfect first date:   

There are so many opportunities to have a great first date- anywhere. Sometimes it is hard to predict where I should take someone- a great dinner, a baseball game, spending the day doing something outside, or all of the above. It usually always works out well. I enjoy learning about the woman I am with, and understanding who she is. I'll do coffee, but I may order milk because I don't actually drink coffee. I do like a romantic place, Denver seems to have more possibilities everyday. Someplace quite is more my taste so I can show my date my undivided attention.
