I am down to earth, honest, loyal, open minded and have a good sense of humor. I am not perfect and don't expect anyone else to be. I live alone and support myself.

I care for the people in my life and am a good listener. I am extremely loyal to those in my life and consider that one of my best values. I value my friends and will drop plans to go help anyone in need. I believe in courtesy - Holding doors open and helping people. I am a romantic but I am also very practical. I'm looking to meet a friend. Someone real. Not afraid to be yourself. No instant expectations but at the same time, no limits. If the chemistry is there, then it's meant to be. Things will cultivate over time. If not, you can never have too many friends in your life.

My view on personal relationships and friendships? Be honest. Why do so many see a need to impress others? Just have fun and enjoy life. It works better that way.

I've always been an avid music fan. My tastes vary widely. The only things I don't like are rap and some of the really twangy country. Artists among favorites right now are Mostly Autumn, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, Ayreon, Coldplay, John Mayer, Satellite, Riverside.. The list goes on and on. This also changes somewhat often.

Why the name? I collect and restore old classic arcade games and pinball machines as hobby. I enjoy the hobby very much. I have a collection of 20 games total and don't see expanding it much more, though you never know what the future brings.

I love animals. I have two cats of my own. I consider them part of my family as much as any other family member could be.

What am I ultimately looking for? Someone to share my life with. The good, the bad, the happy times and the sad. Support each other. Complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. In short, I am looking for a soulmate. Will I find her here? Perhaps, or perhaps not. If not, maybe I'll make a few friends along the way. What am I looking for right now? Conversation. Discovery of someone new. Perhaps meet if it seems right.

I am not looking for someone who judges people by their possessions, income, vehicle or personal appearance only. Yes, physical attraction is important, but mental attraction is much more. I am not looking for someone to run my life for me. I am not looking for one night stands. I'm not looking for someone to 'save me' or change me to fit some sort of mold. We are all individuals. I respect that and you should too.

So if you're still reading this and you think we'd get along, drop me a note. I'm always open to meeting new people. :)

Coffee, (or tea), perhaps lunch or dinner somewhere comfortable. The place doesn't matter, the person you're with does. Nothing too serious. It is, after all, a first date. Some environment that is quiet and comfortable enough for good conversation.
