I figure I should update this: If my closest friends were to describe me they'd probably start off by saying I'm funny. I do tend to crack a lot of jokes and can be a little (or very?) sarcastic and I enjoy making people laugh, even if it's at my expense. Truth be told, I'm also a big sentimental mush. People interest me and I love helping friends and I'm told I give great advice. I'm also told I'm an "old soul" pretty frequently. As for hobbies and interests, I'm very open minded. I enjoy going out but I would never protest to a movie night at home. Clubs are certainly not my thing. I'm extremely family-oriented and am very close to my parents and family. What makes me unique is my ability to read and understand other people. I can make friends with just about anybody.
My music taste... it's a very wide variety... classic rock, pop, old school hip hop, and pretty much anything acoustic. I can also appreciate some hard rock and metal and very rarely, some country.

First dates are typically awkward but clearly necessary. Something comfortable and casual.
