Wow...this talking about yourself isn't easy...I suppose for starters, I'm a serious-minded guy, who has lived enough to know not to take myself too seriously...does that make sense? I think life is about a successful balance of the the things that come together to create a well integrated "LIFE". I work hard but also make time to relax, spend time with friends, work out, without being a fanatic about it but try to keep myself in pretty good shape.
Family and friends are very important to me but I've managed to scale it back to the important people and activities in life, which has taken me to a "good place" in life...one that I'd like to potentially share with someone.

The very first date...hummmmmm, let's see...possibly meeting for coffee which may lead to dinner...sounds like a good start. Time to meet and begin the process of getting to know someone sounds like a best first encounter...I'm playful and serious, like I may have mentioned, but am not into games or playing around with someone's feelings, big waste of time...mine or someone else's. Living in one of the biggest cities in the world, there's always something to do, a museum, parks, handing out or whatever. Getting to know the person, or at least start that process and then see where it goes works for me.
