I'm someone who wakes up every day with a positive outlook.I love my work. I recently switched careers, I was a NYC firefighter, now I'm a social worker. I'm someone who likes to give more than I take, I'm big into charity,playing my guitar, I play acoustic gigs and try to bring people together. I'm a big Stones fan, don't worry if they're not your favorite, so long as they're in your top three. I've traveled all over the world, it has made me appreciate how lucky I am. I love cooking for a bunch of my friends over at my place, got some good recipes from my travels. I'm a big Yankee fan, that's where my sports fanaticism begins and ends. I make a great Bloody Mary, love gardening ( I think I was a farmer in my prior life) and love a good book. I'm a bad surfer,skier, really bad with directions, think I speak better Spanish than I do, and have no concept of the stock market... I value my friends and family very much. I'm a big animal lover,all kinds of music (WFUV,90.7) check it out, excercise (hot yoga, running),it is the little things that matter to me. If your honest, humble, sincere, like to laugh, not take everything so seriously, spontaneous, enjoy wine (I make home made), laugh again, the beach, social gatherings,travel; then maybe we have a reason to have that great first date. Looking for ANAM CARA- look it up if you never heard of it. I like to think of myself as a balanced person, I'm looking for the same. I'm looking for a best friend and someone to say goodnight to. All the best to all those fishing.

I have no real agenda for a first date. It would be great to just be flexible with the individual. No pressure, just make it easy, fun and see where it goes.
