I tend to be a bit shy, but when people get to know me they are surprised by my rather bawdy sense of humor. I love to laugh and learn new things. I try to always be honest with people and want them to return that favor. I like to read fiction, and I enjoy writing. I've had two novels published so far and I'm working on my third book. When I'm not writing, I'm a librarian. I enjoy my job a great deal. I like to travel. I'm a typical tourist - site-seeing in places where I haven't been before or revisiting favorite spots from past trips. Sometimes it is fun to just head out in the car and drive to see where I end up. I have run across some really wonderful small places by doing that. Basically, if I go somewhere and have the opportunity to learn something new about me, life, the universe and everything,I've had a good day! Looking For: What I am searching for is someone who can be a friend and a lover. If we click, I'd like us to develop things into a committed relationship. I think the characteristics of laughter and playfulness are as important in a man as his strength of character and will. I want a man who understands honor and chivalry and exhibits both. I seek a one-on-one relationship with a man who is NOT in a committed relationship (ie. not married or in possession of a significant other).
