Honest, smart, often modest when not filling in self-promo boxes. I'm looking to expand my social circle, and maybe even meet someone special.

I've spending some time recently learning more about my emotions, and needs. These are important because I have been in a few long term relationships, where both of us would have trouble communicating our emotions.

So I'm looking for someone who understands their emotions a bit, who knows it is OK to have not feel happy or great the whole time, and is willing to talk about their feelings not just when they are happy, but any other time too.

I believe this is important for having a good relationship - being able to share experiences & emotions together, while maintaining a healthy amount of time with others.

Coffee, a drink, or meal somewhere nice, but probably not too nice. Somewhere we can both relax, and be our real selves. What do you want? For me, meeting & getting to know the right person is more important than what we do on the first date.
