I'm told i can be really intense at times - eye contact is important to me, and i'm seriously not into playing mind games. I'd like to find someone that respects me as much as I would them, and is willing to make time for me - and who doesn't leave me guessing about their intentiosn or feelings. But I swear, if you meet me I'm not really half as serious as I might sound - I laugh a lot, and I'm goofy and sometimes inappropriatly sarcastic. Basically I love to have a good time, and I like to make sure that those I care for are comfortable and happy as well.

Oh, and i'm an indie rocker at heart:

pavement, arcade fire, animal collective, tamar kali, wolf parade, ambulance ltd, mogwai, godspeed you black emperor, broken social scene, modest mouse (old stuff), 65 days of static, the killers, sonic youth, my bloody valentine, man in gray, tv on the radio, xiu xiu, death from above 1979, i can make a mess like nobody's business, blood brothers, children of bodom, violent femmes, japanther...

On a first date I'd like to get active, but in a way that's a bit more personal than seeing a movie or going to a club.

Going for a bike ride with breaks for food/people watching in the park/other random stops, just walking around the city, going to a political forum or lecture, are all awesome options for me. Cooking dinner for each other afterward would be like a cherry on top.

To me, it's important to have time both to talk and get to know each other as well as observe the other person in their element for a bit.
