I am tactfully honest (brutal when I need to be), direct and kind of random. I enjoy going to concerts, museums, Bears/Blackhawks/Bulls/Dragons games, movies and there are very few things better than exploring the hidden gems of Chicago, the parks. I am reserved when I meet new people, but easily open up with interesting and humorous interaction. More than anything, if I am with a person there has to be great conversation with a good dose of goofy, humorous non-sense. I love to laugh and still do so like I am child, loud and obnoxious.

I enjoy hanging out and am comfortable being at home or being out in the streets. I can be at home on the couch one night or out camping the next. It's all about who you share the moment with. I enjoy the challenges and pleasures life brings my way and am just looking for someone to share it all with. I work a lot and am in grad school, but looking to hang out and at the very least expand my circle of friends.

Currently, I am just trying to enjoy life. Professionally, I am more and more fulfilled everyday, I have a great job and just completed graduate school. I'm at a great place within that aspect of life. I think we are all on OKC because there is something missing in our personal lives, guess I need a little help there. I don't need a guy to fulfill me but am definitely looking for someone to share it all with.

Assessing personalities and getting people to open up. Everyone lets their guard down around me. To that I would add that I am also a very good listener, always the sturdy shoulder to lean on.

People usually notice my smile first, then the fact that I can be serious in one instant and a total goofball the next, and then there is the boisterous laugh.

6. My opinion

Everything...there are always thoughts about the future, decisions made, work, school, sex and what I want out of life.

Typically I am at home relaxing after a long week, but I find myself out and about every now and then.

I may seem cold and distant but I care more than I let on.

You liked what you have read and want to know more. You're looking for a down to Earth guy to chat or hang out.
