Although I'm looking for long term, friendship is also important and should be initially pursued. I enjoy my work and friends and am settled professionally, but something is missing....

I stay in shape and eat a healthy diet, most of the time. I have varied interests such as sports, but not at the expense of spending time with someone special or exercising outside, live music in small intimate settings, hiking, world events, indie movies, politics (lean left), biking,and comedy......there is always room for comedy. I try to stay emotionally and physically fit so when I grow very old, I can die a healthy person.

I'm a very flexible person, so a first date's location is not very important to me. What is important is that we have a venue where we can easily communicate without distraction.
