I am just a guy. Raised all over the world in a military family, that settled in Maryland in the early 90's. I live with my cool little dog in a pretty good and stress free life. No tattoos, or piercings. No drugs or alcohol. You'd think I was raised on a farm in Kansas and fell out of the sky in a meteor shower.

I am a VERY passionate individual. I am honest, articulate, and I very much wear my heart of my sleeve. Hopefully emotion doesn't scare you. My Myers-Briggs personality is ESFP for those who like that kinda detail. I'm also an aquarius, a liberal, and am not religious at all.

Finally, I have to admit I am a pretty shy guy. It's very hard for me to be aggressive and make the first move or approach women.

Normally I think a dinner and movie is a good, safe first date. You can talk during dinner and just enjoy each others company during a movie. But I understand that's not for everyone. I enjoy other activities like a comedy club, long walks, but must add I think bars are not appropriate.

They are loud, rude, and it can be uncomfortable if there are other friends around to impress. Besides who likes to go home smelling like smoke and other people?
