1. I like black comedies/humour. I like going to gigs, spending time with my friends. I'm also very independent and like my time alone.
2. I think i can come across as very dry but i don't mean to be, 99% of the things i say are in jest or not meant to be taken seriously. My friends are interesting and can take the piss out of themselves as much as me.
3. I have a varied taste in music. I enjoy cooking but not cleaning up afterward. I like walking around with my iPod on and staring at people on the bus. I never know what to say to people when i first meet them so it's usually something completely inappropriate and stupid.
4. I have no gaydar and don't think i come across as a raving homo or have anything gay about me really (visually).

Depends on the person, i was always taught to KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. So that. Apparently this isn't long enough. I really don't know until i know the person, this is a silly question.
I'll be boring and say go to the cinema. At least if you don't really like the person you don't have to look at them too much, and if it's going really sh*t you could go the toilet and never return.
