I'll not bore you with the standardized "Can go from Black Tie to Blue Jeans" nonsense, because quite frankly, even a Chimpanzee looks good in Armani. I am looking for a long-term walking partner, with an appreciation for coffee and conversation. If you see yourself in my words then by all means write to me.

ABOUT ME: I'm more Steak and Potatoes, than Haute Cuisine (but I can cook both). More Harrison Ford than Leonardo DiCaprio. More Sensual than Stoic. More Passionate than Pensive. More Artist than Accountant. More Old Navy than Brooks Brothers. More "Old Fashioned" than "Flavor or the Week". More likely to make you laugh than make you cry. More Extrovert than Introvert. More Assertive than Passive. More Intense than Uncaring . More likely to make you happy than make you sad. More glass half full, than half empty. More about us than about me. More about the Journey than the Destination.

ABOUT HER: She is more “Girl Next Door”, than High Maintenance Diva. More Caring than Capricious. More interested in what's in my heart, than my wallet. More Fun and Flirtatious than Derogatory and Distant. More Board games than Head games. More Understanding than Unbending. More Carnal than Cold. More "Open" minded than "Closed" minded. More "Here and Now" than "Been there done that". More likely to melt my heart than flash freeze it. She knows what she wants and won't let anything stop her from having it. She feels that "spark", and knows what to do with those feelings.

I am looking for a woman to compliment me, not complete me. I will gladly leave that whole "completion" thing to half-crazed, couch jumping, scientology practicing, half pint, b-list movie stars. I just would like to spend my time with a woman who is as excited about being with me as I am about being with her. It's really just that simple, and I don't see why it needs to be any more complicated than that. Do you?

Have fun ;)!

The Brian_Thorn Dating FAQ

Q: Is it true Brian_Thorn is a voracious reader?
A: False. Brian_Thorn doesn't in fact actually read books anymore. He simply stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Q: Is it true that Brian_Thorn is the reason Waldo is hiding?
A: True. Apparently Waldo went into hiding as a direct result of a heated argument he had with Brian_Thorn over who made the better Captain of the USS Enterprise. Brian_Thorn chose Jean Luc Picard for obvious reasons. Waldo mistakenly chose James T. Kirk and has been in hiding ever since.

Q: Is it true Brian_Thorn and Tom Cruise were separated at birth?
A: True. Brian_Thorn and Tom Cruise were born on the same day but separated at birth by 30 miles and 45 mins. They share a personal connection via an ex-wife (Thorn's not Tom's). They were raised by separate mothers, in separate places 25 miles apart in the same state. While Tom Cruise went on to be the more financially successful of the pair, Brian_Thorn went on to be quite a bit taller, and quite a bit less effeminate and insane.

Q: Is it true that Brian_Thorn actually died in 2004.
A: True. Brian_Thorn died in horrific roll-over type car accident in the fall of 2004(in the very car he is pictured in up above). Death has simply either been to busy or too afraid to come collect him as of yet.

Normally I like to keep it simple. Agreeing to meet for a drink, coffee, a walk, and some pleasant conversation (all of the above being ideal), while leaving time available afterward for the possibility of sharing some other activity together if we both feel we are hitting it off.

To me, the "First Date" is not really a "Date" at all, it is more or less a "Chemistry Experiment" to see if that connection we made via emails, IM's, or the phone, is really what we thought it was in person.
