I've lived my life in theater, having grown up backstage of local theaters, acting became second nature and is what I chose to get a degree in. I now teach acting professionally.
I've been single for quite some time and, though apprehensive, have decided to put myself back out there.
I'm a great deal more bookish than I look. I love to read everything from fiction to autobiographies to physics.
Anything cerebral will hold my interest and I tend to avoid small talk gravitating towards conversations about Real things. People have always opened up to me very quickly about extremely personal things although as to why that is, I cannot say, only speculate.
I'm easy to talk to, and like to listen without judgment. People fascinate me, especially those who are a bit eccentric. I seem to attract type B personalities which I find preferable, I'm a little weird myself and unashamed.
I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to dating in some ways. I take physicality slowly, I'm in no rush. There's something to be said for anticipation, and waiting for the right moment. Opening doors, flowers, small tokens that make me think of someone given as gifts, these things matter.
I love cats and am uncomfortable around dogs. In fact I've been called a "cat person" many times but not referring to my preference in animal companionship but rather that I have angular, feline features and mannerisms. I'm sure that sounds weird but if you met me you would say "Oh... ya I see it."
I love electronic music and used to be involved in performing it in various venues in Buffalo years ago. I still have great affection for it.
I like things that are different, that surprise me, that are unexpected.
Good looks are never enough. There are countless physically attractive women that I am not at all attracted to. There needs to be More; an intellectual, emotional, as well as physical connection.
I'm actually a very sweet person with a kind heart, but experience has taught me to temper that a bit until I know I can trust a person.
I am hard wired for monogamy. I've never cheated. I don't understand it. If you already have someone you like enough to be in a relationship with, why ruin that just for random sex? I don't get it.
I believe the keys to a worthwhile relationship are; Honesty in all things, Consistency, Trust, and simple kindness. The little things Matter!
I'm looking for someone with whom I can laugh and share common interests. Someone who isn't looking for a typical meatheaded guy. Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously (God knows I don't). Someone genuinely kind and most importantly, Sincere.
It is hard to define what I find physically attractive, it is never the same. It's always something that stands out to me and is impossible to quantify.
My friend's children treat me like a rock star, so I guess I'm great with kids. I mean they Freak Out when I show up. I like them, too.
Summery of good things about me you can count on: Very sincere. Honest to a fault. Consistently selfless. Unique. I keep my word as a matter of integrity. Gentle with those I care about. Very accepting. Sensitive.
Bad things I'll admit to: Flaky about practical things. Disorganized. Sometimes have difficulty relating to common things. Moody. Fiercely opinionated. A bit too sensitive. Sometimes mean spirited towards people and things that I dislike... openly so. Strange sense of humor and people sometimes have a very hard time telling if I am joking or not. Slightly prude.
I have a lot of weird ideas. Conversations with me are never what you'd expect. I'm very imaginative and I like that in other people. Please, Surprise me!
Thanks
