Write me and let's talk--I want to meet you!

I am a geek by nature and by trade (computers and web)
I am not an introvert but I am quiet and I like to people watch
I get flustered by a pretty face and I am a daydreamer (are you the one for me?)
I love to spend time with friends and family (one of my top three favorite activities)
I love conversations (I talk, you talk) about serious stuff, silly stuff, whatever!
I love the creature comforts (a warm house, a warm bed, a good meal)
I love talking over food, going to a movie, or just hanging out (and not saying a word)
I think of myself as low key, a watcher, and a thinker
I grew up mostly by myself and I am used to my independence (has good and bad points)
I believe in being able to have respect and kindness for others and still have disagreements
I "nerd out" on movies, games, and technology
Love dogs but like them outside the home; cats and I don't get along

There are three things that are important enough to me that I am absolutely inflexible on--and it does not involve political parties or religious denominations

* Unless there's something specific in mind, I like to meet people as friends the first time and either have a short meal and a walk or perhaps some other leisurely activity and just go from there--see how things work out.
