Active and Athletic Romantic. Well, the romance is somewhere down "there" underneath all of the substance of strength necessary to survive and thrive. I'm a balanced person. I'm smart, but not a geek; funny, but not silly; fun, but not reckless; principled, but not close-minded; sexual, but not perverted; caring but not weak; confident, but not arrogant; spiritual, but not too religious; trusting, but not foolish. I try to make the best with what God has given me to make appealing. I'm clean, and I take care of myself. I exercise my mind and my body. I'm just looking to exercise my heart a little more. Looking For: Exercise and a reasonably healthy diet should be a part of her lifestyle (or, at least an earnest commitment to maintaining her original "disposition"). I would like for her to be strong, but humble at times. And, she should understand that catering to a man's ego every once in awhile does not amount to her being a weak woman, but the opposite. She will need to understand that I will compromise, but not "change" - I will not completely sacrifice who I am for who she thinks I should be. I will live for my dreams and support hers. She needs to be loving and willing to trust (nothing ventured, nothing gained). Keep in mind, an "ideal" is just that. I am open to other possibilities.
