I consider myself extremely passionate; about my job (which I LOVE and probably spend too much time at), my friends, my hobbies and my personal life. I'm also very athletic, a regular at the gym, avid biker and play a variety of sports on a regular basis. Try not to take myself too seriously (try valiantly, though efforts fall short at times). I love to read, laugh, have intelligent conversation and generally looking to enjoy life rather than finding excuses not to and I'm essentially seeking the same in my partner. And I can be a gullible romantic once you get to know me.

I'm looking for someone more confident in their personality and character than their looks. While maintaining good health is important, intelligence and wit are my biggest turn-ons. I'm prone to making a fool out of myself either with bad humor or just being randomly stupid, so finding someone who can understand and not judge too harshly would be ideal. A Tarantino fan is a plus.

My ideal first date would start with dinner at Oliva, a personal favorite restaurant in the East Village. Its not the most quiet place but its cozy and has amazing food. Afterward, a delayed stroll where I'll pretend to look for a nice reasonably quiet place (though I will already have one in mind) to have a drink or two and chat without bursting a vocal chord.

But thats just a humble man's opinion.
