Hi my name is Brad and I am awesome (sarcasm).
I am here at POF to find my partner in crime, metaphorical crime of course ;-)

Being a self summary I guess I am supposed to come up with some amazing intellectual description of myself while still remaining funny and charming at the same time. That’s not me though. I tell it like it is no sugar coating or chocolate paint, well maybe chocolate paint (not sarcasm).

I guess a year ago I could have told you all about myself, everything I aspired to do, things I planned on accomplishing and the whole nine yards. I can honestly say I kept up with those plans, I have done A LOT in the last year, but recently I had one of those eye opening experiences that really opened up my mind to the world around me. Lately I have been relaxing those goals and soaking it all up. I have been re-prioritizing my goals and it is amazing how something previously so insignificant when cast under a different light can become so life changing. I won’t say what this experience was because I think without some explanation it would be misunderstood. So if you’re interested in it you will just have to talk to me.

If there was one thing I had to tell you about myself it is that despite all the sarcasm, poking fun, chain yanking, and good old sh*tgiving that goes on between us my friends truly are the most important thing to me. I would do anything for them at the drop of a dime and while the sentiment is probably echoed by almost all users here, I can’t with words emphasize their importance to me enough. I enjoy a small close knit group of friends, and that’s how I like it, I would rather have 5 people who truly know me than 100 people who know of me.

What am I looking for here? To be honest I don’t know right now, as of lately I have been doing a lot of looking for this partner in crime and have come up empty handed. I have met a few cool people but none who are crime worthy. So while I am not giving up on the search I think I am going to take a break for now and just go with the flow, so I guess you could say for now I am just looking for friends, if more becomes of it, then so be it, but for now I am not actively looking for anything serious.

First time meeting someone is not a date. I would prefer just meeting up for ten or fifteen minutes to grab some coffee, chat a bit and go on our way. That way if there is no chemistry you really cant complain about losing 15 minutes of your life; if there is chemistry we can always go for a walk around Naperville or sit down and grab some lunch.

I am also a firm believer that while people have the best intentions on here of writing about who they are in their profile, a lot gets left out or lost in translation, and if I am going to plan a date I would have rather get to know you a bit better first so I can make sure its something we will both enjoy.

If you want to know more ... well, act interested and maybe you will get to find out firsthand :D
