I'm a care free, relaxed and laid back 28 year old guy who loves to have fun and maintain an optimistic view on life. I enjoy being open minded, honest, loyal and having a good sense of humour. I enjoy sports, movies, cooking, music as well as chilling out at the pub with friends and having a game of pool or darts. I love meeting new people and I truly believe friendship is a major key to enjoying life. I also love creative writing and poetry and hope to write something successful one day.

I have mostly liberal views and support progressive movements such as marriage rights and equality. At the same time, personality wise, I'm abit of an old fashioned romantic deep down and hold some conservative ideals when it comes to relationships and believe romance and monogomy is still alive and well in this crazy world (at least I'd like to think so!) Yes I applaud chivalry greatly and still believe in the saying, "ladies first," when it comes to things like entering a room or giving up my seat on the bus. I'm somewhat sentimental and definitely on the sensitive side and will readily admit that some forms of change I don't handle terribly well right away, but I get there in the end. I treasure memories dearly, and I'm young at heart. I've also been known to be abit of a dreamer. The smallest things can make me smile, and I often view crying as a sign of strength and releasing of emotions which many are afraid to do.

In terms of experiences, I went through a phase of my life when I tried the pub and bar scene, and although this didn't turn out terribly well at all, I soon discovered it wasn't for me and moved on to other things. Instead of looking back on things feeling disappointed, I'd rather hold my head high in optimism and be thankful for the experiences, good or bad.

Relationship wise I'm ideally looking for something long term, I honestly believe in fate and the idea of there being someone out there for everyone. I can't stand users, and I don't understand people who think it's cool to use each other for one thing only, to me that's upsetting, I've seen too many good people get hurt. Being a writer, I like to express my feelings and emotions in words no matter what mood I'm in, whether it be happy, sad or optimistic. I think truly great things are worth waiting for (such as true love) and the world is my oyster. As a line in my favourite movie (Dead Poets Society) says, "Seize the Day!"

I hate judgemental people, or those who place too much importance on small things to cover their own insecurities, be that in regards to friendships or relationships. Friendships and relationships are both gifts that we all crave, so I would much rather listen, learn and offer a shoulder to cry if need be rather than dwell on a person's past. We all have our own stories to tell, and I figure that as long as we're all moving forward, we'll be far better off as people and be able to help each other move on.

Well after all that...if you still fancy a chat, just drop me a line anytime!

I am creative, carefree, and courageous.

Above all however, I'm just a normal guy who wants to find happiness and that someone special.

At the moment, I'm living a happy life with a good mix of work, study and having fun with family and friends. I'm taking things steadily and one step at a time. Currently I work as a transcription typist for a small but busy law firm and previously studied accounting and business through college. As much as I know I need a career first and foremost, my passion will always be creative writing and at the moment I'm putting together a collection of songs, poems and some erotica pieces too. Yes, I think there's always room for adventure and sensuality is a fascinating area to explore. I'm currently taking a break from my studies to concentrate on my writing as I realised accounting just wasn't for me but I intend on possibly returning to the textbooks again when I've found a decent course to tackle.

I'm not bad when it comes to most things art and craft related, and anything that deals with being creative, although I would say there's room for improvement in some areas! I'd like to think I'm good at sports since I'm quite a big fan, having played soccer for a number of years at school. I've also just recently taken up playing snooker at a club, I'm a better pool and darts player but hopefully once I practice it enough I'll be able to win some competitions.

I guess one of the first things you'd notice about me is my sense of humour and my fondness for having a laugh! Other than that, probably my optimism, looking on the bright side of things and being open. I've also been told I'm quite a visual person based on my expressions and body language I convey.

I have a varied taste in each, rather than name all of them in one go, I'll outline each one below so it's easier to follow:

Books -

Adventure, spy thrillers, and anything with a romantic element always goes down well.

TV -

Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, Prisoner, Summer Heights High, Angry Boys, Blackadder, The Inbetweeners, Fawlty Towers, The Bill, Men Behaving Badly, As Time Goes By, My Family, On the Buses, many other Britcoms. Sports shows go down well too.

Movies -

James Bond, Karate Kid, Indiana Jones, Rush Hour, Pirates of the Caribbean, Austin Powers, The Notebook, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Titanic, Shrek, Hitch, The Holiday, Parent Trap, 50 First Dates, Dead Poets Society...abit of a variation there but I'm a huge sucker for romantic comedies, I love a happy ever after, feel good ending! (and not afraid to admit it)

Music -

I thought I would make a revised list. There are heaps, but off the top of my head here are thirty favourites in alphabetical order are: Abba, Avril Lavgine, Beatles, Beach Boys, Belinda Carlisle, Beyonce, Cher, Cold Chisel, Cyndi Lauper, Divinyls, Green Day, Guns N Roses, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Johnny Cash, Killers, Kylie, Michael Jackson, Pretenders, Proclaimers, Queen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Rihanna, Rolling Stones, Shontelle, Simple Plan, Tina Turner, U2, Waterboys, Whitney Houston. A bit of everything.

Food -

Pretty much anything, stir fry, sweet and sour pork/chicken, burgers, BBQs, salad, pizza, seafood, cooked breakfasts, any variety of continental foods and yummy desserts such as panna cotta (as long as it's served in decent sized portions)

Life, love, creativity, family, friends, music.

Creativity, my hopes and dreams, life after study, love and romance and just generally about the world we live in and taking part in life.

Either having a few quiet drinks at the pub over a game of pool, at the movies or home enjoying a DVD night on the couch. If I'm out, I'm having something delicious somewhere relaxing.

I still believe in happy endings.

If the mood takes you.
