Friends and family would say that I am kind, considerate, caring and honest. Most would also say that I have a good sense of humour and enjoy making others laugh. I am very close to my family (parents and big sisters and their families) and I value the importance of close and long-lasting friendships.

Born in Toronto and grew up in Richmond Hill, I now live in Aurora (it's not as far as you think :-). I work in downtown Toronto. I am a bit of gym junkie and love to play hockey for fun and to stay in shape. I love going to the movies, but I also enjoy the comforts of home with a good DVD on my home theatre in a room lit only by candles, while sharing popcorn and M&Ms and a bottle of wine. I also enjoy live theatre (We Will Rock You) and live music too. Going out for dinner and drinks is always nice, but I love to cook and entertain at home too. Yes, I can cook :-)

Keep it casual and light. No pressure. A few drinks - hot or cold - in a lounge setting, maybe a bite, and lots of fun conversation. Talk about whatever feels right.

I think a good first date would be one that leads to a second and third date....
