I believe that dating should be fun, and that people shouldnt expect a knight or princess in shinining armor. I think that people should go out and actively try to find the person they want to date, instead of waiting for them to fall into their laps.The more easygoing/talkative you are the better... If i can't hold a conversation with you..then why should I talk to you. I am goal oriented, but I believe that a thousand degrees can't bring enjoyment to your life if you dont find a way to enjoy yourself, despite the circumstances you may find yourself in.

Completed a graduate degree in history in may of 07, and instead of going to law school,i will finish an mba in may of 09. Adjunct faculty at a community college in illnois, started august of 08

I love being outside, I love a chicago summer, the smell of the air and the feeling of a nice summer night. I also love music and do not leave the house without my ipod, I really do believe in the cliche that music is the soundtrack to our lives.

I am a active person and find it hard to sit still doing nothing. I think that dating should be fun, and dont really understand why people play games, and manipulate when in the end they will be the only one feeling hurt and empty. I am very conscious of how I treat other people, while at the same time making sure that others treat me with respect. I also hate these description things because one persons interests can not be summed up in a paragraph, if you want to know about me, email me and Il let you know.

I guess this pretty much sums up how I try to look at things

The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns."

I chose to look at the positive in most things..its just the way I am

Definitely depends on the person, but I think that the date should allow a chance to talk, I think people can tell fairly quickly if there is a spark or not.
