I'm different to say the least. Perhaps an alien? Feel like one sometimes. I'm domesticated though, so I'm good around the house. Romantic dinners are extra except on Valentine's Day, Birthdays Etc. I enjoy the mountains but I'm no climber. Picnicking by a lake, skimming stones, and taking a nice long walk would suffice. Driving nowhere and discovering new places is always a trip. I grew up in NY, moved here in 1993, have relatives in Europe and Scandinavia, and lots of stories to share. I'm a good listener as well. As far as music, I enjoy quite the variety. 'Don't judge a book by it's cover unless you cover just another' ;) On a final note - There's always something different or new to discover, even about oneself, when with someone else. Time tells all, as do stitches on the tapestry. Too many people look for obstacles rather than the magic.. Some characteristics my better half would have are - Laid back, open-minded, clean, trustworthy, passionate, playful, romantic, and communicative, for starters. Little things count in my book as do actions over words. 'You get what you give'.
