Being from the mid-west (Ohio), I love anything to do with the outdoors- perhaps it is because my mother always kicked us out of the house and made us go outside to play on sunny days. I love Central Park in the summer - addicted to cycling - I love developing my own sense of style although I must admit my ideas are usually boot legged off someone I've seen in the subway :) I'm also into the redesign of the space around me- my apartment and the brownstone its a part of....I like my clothes/home/ world to have its own unique style. I like roaming around NYC with no particular destination (iphone GPS makes this particularly fun). I think that many settle because they feel they must follow a template of social progression that includes marriage before a certain age.....I feel bad for them because often times that involves giving up the dream of meeting 'that special someone' ....I won't give up the dream therefore I wake up everyday excited about the future. I am inspired by 80 year old men that wear the latest Oakley sunglasses while his wife sports the sexy ankle bracelet.....both of them strolling hand in hand....knowing they look 'fiiiiiiiiiiiine' ;) Waiting to meet a girl that makes me want to rush home, hurry into the house and see her face light up when our eyes meet again - day, after day.....that's the dream

I'd keep it simple- focus on whatever makes her most comfortable - with the right person it doesn't matter where you go....
