I manage to get along with most people, but I prefer developing fewer, deeper friendships. While getting to know new people - most of them, anyway - is fun, I tend to feel lost in large groups of strangers. Humor and honesty are essential for me. I love music and learning how things work. And there's some adrenaline junkie in me.

I spent 10 years working as a computer consultant across the country. Family and dissatisfaction with that career pulled me back to Pittsburgh. While I am involved in my community, I'm still looking for my match. For now, I'd like to find some good dates and see what happens without any expectations or pressure.

No one who bores me will last, so your friends probably call you "quirky." You are smart and funny. You're open-minded, honest and enjoy exploring new ground. You definitely have a phenomenal smile that can both tie my stomach in knots and completely melt me.

I have no interest in impressing a first date with something exotic. Anything that lets us start understanding each other is a possibility, from walking dogs in the park to good conversation over a quiet dinner.
