when it comes to dating I'm pretty relaxed. I have the tendency to be very independent but still know how to care about others. It's hard to break the role of friend into boyfriend.
In this I'd say i maintain an active lifestyle. despite not actually enjoying running, i ride my bike nearly daily. This has been my passion since i was a kid. I ride bmx ,mountain, and have been wanting to invest in a road bike by the end of the season. i have a bar cruiser as well for lakefront and evening rides. I've recently rediscovered how much fun fishing is. I take things as they come and try to find an appealing aspect of any situation. I'm a design student which speaks for my passion for visually stimulating and intriguing details in life. I find the most beautiful things in life come in the most simple packages. from the style of dress to the ladies i fall for to the pens i buy for class. I think purpose defeats flair. but style is never ignored.
I'm a simple guy with almost country mindset with the love for the city and heavy air of public transportation.

fun and engaging. getting to know someone over dinner isn't as exciting as say minigolf and beers is? the shedd quarium, art museum, or any festival would also fit the bill for a creative experience that reveals more than a night alone with the two in a private dining table/booth. not that there is never a time for romance, first dates should be fun with the discovering process!
