Each time I see a crowd of people, just like a fool I stop and stare;It's really not the proper thing to do, but maybe you'll be there.I go out walking after midnight, along the lonely thoroughfare;It's not the time or place to look for you, but maybe you'll be there. . I'm a guy next door with a twist-for the most part.I was born in Europe and moved to US 20 years ago.I'm down to earth with a bit of a goofy side.I'm spontaneous, creative, independent, adventurous(I went on a trip around the world with a small back pack and a camera-by myself),romantic, intelligent, playfull and100% drugs free.I love outdoors.I'm better then average swimmer and I also scuba dive.I enjoy skiing, bike riding and boating.I love to drive.At least once a month I try to get as far as possible from Chicagoland to see something new.I love to laugh, but most of all I like to make people laugh(and I'm not a comedian).I prefer dogs over cats, soccer over baseball,"Tribune" over "Sun-Times",wood burning fireplace over a gas one, good conversation over a great sex(do I???).Are you still reading? Hobbys:#1 Travel-4 star hotel is always nice, but Motel6, tent or night on the hammock in Amazon jungle will do as well.#2Music-I listen to everything except heavy metal, hard rap, some country and type of jazz that sounds like tuning instruments.If listening to the music is not a hobby then I also play. #3Fishing-few times a year I have to go to northen Wisconsin where I can really relax. Don't ask me why I'm still single.For a past few years I'm trying to explain this to my mother.Maybe I would rather be by myself for the rest of my life then with a wrong person.You:intelligent, attractive, down to earth, educated, honest.Smiles and loughing are always a plus.There is one thing I don't like in women.If you wake up in the morning and put on all your make-up like there is no tomorrow or you are afraid that someone may steal it so better keep it on your face-have a nice day.I have nothing against make-up-just the extreme.
