So here's the thing, I'm already wondering exactly how dumb this thing reads. So I've got a job with some serious hours, and I'm working on a Master's degree. Where I want a counterpart is going out to do things. Or staying in to do things together. I'm not going there (yet), but it could be anything from playing Rock Band to movies to jogging around the park to playing like for real music together to biking.. really, the thing is, I couldn't care less about the stuff, it's more having someone to enjoy that stuff with.

If you are a knitting freak, for example, and you and I just get along fabulously, I will learn all about knitting and how a particular type of yarn is _the stuff_, and not just because I want to impress you, but I can develop an absolute love of something that quickly. Empathic, if you will. So rather than ramble for another half an hour, I'll move on to the next little box, which I've already answered some of.

Adapting, and conversation. Especially once that conversation is started. You will laugh, you will cry, you will think "wow, very clever, I wouldn't have gone there probably but you did and I appreciate that".

I'm also really good at being a great-super-nice guy. I mean, I'm reformed from the doormat-type nice guy, so I recognize and don't put up with crazy "do this for me too" stuff. I am just great to you, and not because I'm trying to impress you, but just because that's what the hell I feel like being. It only really reflects on me either way, right?

Ok, too hard to decide on music, so what I'll do is hit "next" seven times on my music player and put what comes up: AC/DC, "It's a Long Way to the Top" -- Barenaked Ladies, "One Week" (a karaoke song!) -- Cowboy Mouth, "New Orleans" -- Danzig, "She Rides" -- Joni Mitchell, "Carey" -- Korn, "A.D.I.D.A.S" -- MIKA, "Grace Kelly"

Alright, so my vision for a first date is never a set thing.. I don't have a canned date that I pop open like Pillsbury biscuits when I meet someone nice and new. I've done anything from meeting someone for coffee (awesome!), to driving two hours dressed as a ninja so I could learn how to knit outside of a Barnes and Noble, to sitting on top of my roof with two beers and enjoying watching Baltimore. If you have a favorite song, I might try to learn it on guitar and pull it out as if it were a random occurrence.

I am not that good on guitar. But it's still fun.

I guess the point I'm really trying to drive home is that it all depends on the individual. I adapt very, very quickly, and so any attention / gestures of kindness / affection you may get would be narrowed down to something that specifically suits _you_.
