Love a gift of nature

I'm an independent professional man looking for a friendly relationship that could evolve into a long-term romance. I like a good adventure, laugh, and a savory dish of mussels, clams and linguini (that I can make myself when I put my mind to it). My favorite activities include traveling and dining with friends, but I'm quite happy cozying up on the couch watching a DVD. Socially, I can get along with people from various ethnic and economic backgrounds; however, politically I gravitate to moderates.
