I moved back to the Chicago area in July of 08. The year and a half preceeding that I lived just outside Pittsburgh. The saying is true that you do not realize how much you love something until it is not there for you.

I have found that I am a shy person when it comes to starting a conversation with someone that I am interested in. When I am comfortable I open up a lot more. My friends do not understand the fact that I am shy because they only see me at work, or while I am around people I feel comfortable with. They only see me as this outgoing person.

I am going to school for either physics or something in the medical field, not really sure though, I might combine the two. I have two jobs presently and am looking into opening a place up with some friends in the next year.

I can hold my own when it comes to a conversation, but prefer listening when it comes to meeting new people.

I enjoy going bowling or sitting down with my friends having coffee and seeing wherever the conversation will go.

I belief in holding the door open for women when they are entering and exiting buildings.

I say thank you while at restaurants, mostly from working in the industry for over six years. I care about my appearence and prefer to look presentable in any situation.

I am looking for a woman that is able to have conversations over varying topics, if you cannot have good conversations what is the point. Someone that looks at life as the adventure that life is, and enjoys it. I enjoy going out to bars and occasionally dancing, but I am not looking to spend my life at the bar. There are so many more interesting things that this world offers.

You have to take into account what the other person might enjoy. I personaly think you can never go wrong with going out and having coffee. It gives you the ability to have a conversation in a semi-informal atmosphere. One where you can sit and talk to learn between the two of you and If there is any common interests and attraction you can have it go more informal. If it goes good you can go somewhere else, and if it is bad you can end it in a timely manner. Nothing is worse than going on a bad date and not having an out. I am sure most know what I am talking about. Some of the best things in life are not planned out they just happen.
