Everyone on here knows the routine. Meet someone, go to dinner, talk about all the superficial stuff that you think the other person wants to hear all the while trying to appear deep. I guess what I'm looking for is the person that I can be really comfortable with WITHOUT having to go through all the fake to get there. I like to hang out with my friends drinking a few beers sitting around the fire pit - I want someone that could share in that with me. I also have a very professional high stress job - I want someone that understands that there are two sides to life. Nothing is all fun all the time, but misery does NOT love company. I am independent and stable and enjoy my time and my space... but I also want to be able to go to a football game, watch movies and spend time with someone without them being offended if that isn't every night.
