I am a passionate person in a relationship. I am looking for someone who feels similarly. I can be cold at first, preferring to observe a person and a situation before showing my personality. If you are immediately uncomfortable around someone who doesn't make idle chatter, you will become uncomfortable around me. I am direct and if I feel something strongly, I am not afraid to speak my mind. Case in point: a young lady asked me if her dress made her look sexy. I responded, "no, it makes you look pregnant."
After initial awkwardness I am warm, romantic, and loyal. I am not an experienced dater because I find casual dates unrewarding, unless I share interests with the other person. I find casual --- completely unappealing; it will probably be many dates before I want to sleep with you.
I haven't found many women who understand my interests or how I choose to govern my life. I know you are out there and if you are the kind of person I think you are, you would probably also come to this place and seek to be heard.
