How would you describe yourself?
I'm shy, and a little awkward, and a lot clumsy. I can't dance to save my life, but I will. People usually laugh around me, whether it's with or at is inconsequential. I'm terribly sarcastic, but sincere. I'm a hopeless idealist in most aspects of life. I've tried the secrecy thing only to find that honesty is always better. I like to think of myself as pretty smart, but that has gotten me into trouble. If I'm on your side, I'm there for life. I believe in people, sometimes to a fault. I listen more than I talk, well, I like to think of myself that way. It's funny I just said that looking at how much I'm writing on this profile, lol
I am looking for
I'm looking for somebody real. I'd rather you'd be so honest you make me cry then lie to my face to see me smile. Though I'd prefer you make me smile with honesty. One thing I've learned is that chemistry can't be faked and admiration can't be hurried and for me, they go hand in hand. I don't trust quickly and I tend to be cautious and picky. You can't be easily offended. For what it is worth, I am an INFJ, beware... (o;
Wit is a huge turn-on. What good is life if we can't laugh... Especially at ourselves? I'd prefer someone who shows interest in things bigger than their own self. I want someone passionate, and who has direction. I am looking for someone who makes the choice to live life above the surface with courage, with passion, despite the inevitable pain. There is solace and humor lurking there, to share together. I want someone who still sincerely asks how my day is years after we're together; I know I will still be asking you because I won't be able to help myself.
I choose to experience life in a way that squeezes as many drops of quality out of it as possible before time runs out. And in the process, maybe have the opportunity to enjoy it with a wonderful lifelong friend. My mom always said that it all begins with becoming my own best friend, and work every day to become a person I enjoy spending time with; she was so right. I enjoy discovering quality things in life whether it is great people, foods, vintage pieces, sports, techie geeky toys, diners, etc. I find ways to appreciate and have fun in everyday life, work or play. It's a choice.
That's why I would be so tickled to find someone to travel down the road of life with who is kind to himself with extra love to share.
Every day I take time to be quiet, read, pray. I admit, sometimes some meditation moments are born out of desperation, I try to make sure once a day it is actually coming out of a peaceful place. I do find myself enjoying sports (live preferred, ha) instead of the news/politics.. It's a sanity thing. I enjoy learning in all forms, whether its documentaries, reading, touring, road trips, classes, just listening to people. I like to take walks and also travel, but not necessarily always to the beach. I'm a "smell the roses' type of person in everyday life, so I do really enjoy and appreciate "life", exactly as it happens. Life is just so short.
NOTE: I'm 5'8" tall if that is important to you.
