I am friendly, loyal, and practical.

My Self-Summary

What to say... What to say...

Well here are the basics:
I am a fairly low key, down to earth, practical guy. I like long walks (they don't have to be on a beach), bar hopping with friends and fantasizing about future trips. I've lived in Chicago for just over a year and really like it here. I'm a city person at heart, I grew up in NYC (Astoria, Queens to be exact) which probably has a lot to do with it.

What I'm looking for:
I can be a bit shy when it comes to making the first move, so somebody who can be aggressive when it comes to going after what they want would be appreciated. Otherwise I am looking for a good personality, somebody who is curious and would travel the world if they had the means.

What I’m doing with my life

Work wise, I am a Flight Attendant based here in Chicago. This means that I am away from home overnight frequently so jealous types need not apply. Otherwise I just like to enjoy myself, go out time to time and meet new people.

I’m really good at

I'm great at making a good first impression. I'm a good listener and I'm told I give great advice. I make a good, strong drink and I am practicing cooking and baking.

The first things people usually notice about me

The first thing that people notice about me, at least that they comment on, is either my height or my smile. A few days ago a stranger on the street turned around and told me that I had "a really happy laugh."

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: I am not as avid a reader as I should be but I do enjoy books by Christopher Rice. My favorite book however is Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, which is an excellent segue into...

Movies: I can watch the BBC miniseries version of Pride & Prejudice forever, definitely a desert island pick. Otherwise I'm not really a huge movie buff.

Music: Typical trashy pop music (Britney, Madonna, etc.) I know it isn't the best quality, but it makes me happy and makes me want to dance.

Food: I love the flavors of Indian and Thai cooking. I am slowly becoming a convert to Chicago style pizza but I still crave a nice hand tossed slice every now and then.

The six things I could never do without

In no particular order:
- the Internet
- sweets
- water
- my friends
- booze
- trashy pop music

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Places to go on vacation if I had the money.

On a typical Friday night I am

Could be working, could be haning out with my friends or could just be having a lazy night in.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

That unrequited love sucks, and I know from experience.

You should message me if

Your a down to earth guy either looking to date or expand your circle of friends.
