Into yr. #2 in Downtown Chicago. Hoping to enjoy what Chicago has to offer as a couple and form a great relationship. Peaceful, laid back, athletic, and intelligent guy looking for a sweet and fun partner. At 1st, I probably appear reserved, but once you get to know me I can be mischievous, playfully, and out of the ordinary. A few contradictions exist. I am active, in shape; I love to race a small sailboat and can be relentless, tactical, and very driven. Maybe you’re interested in learning to sail or just relaxing day sailing? On the other hand I can be affectionate, sensitive, romantic, and caring. I love animals and have 1 adorable cat. I enjoy the outdoors, beaches, playing in the waves, snorkeling, and snowboarding out west. I would love to a take a winter ski trip with someone special! I have a serious and analytical side, but curiosities in softer sciences and beliefs, and humorous even in stressful situations. My career is in the computer systems/financial area, MBA educated, enjoy reading, following the markets, politics, and world events with an open mind. I do a few geeky things like play online chess, read science magazines, and study the stars with an oversized telescope. Dates with me might include a variety of activities, hiking, walk/jog, ice skating, comedy clubs, theater, art, symphony, movies, and dining out to name just a few. (Trying to learn tennis too) I enjoy travel and like to combine site-seeing, relaxation, good food, and physical activities on a trip. Thanks for visiting. I know you are out there somewhere. My heart has been stabbed a few times with this online stuff. Honesty, openness, the truth, and taking some initiative impress me.
