I try to see life as a gift, and I'm always good to the people around me. When ever I can, I create experiences that make people smile. Whether through dancing, music, or just being a good friend , I live to make people feel good.

When it comes to dating, the bar has b2b set high enough that i'm not going to be the guy settling for bad relationships. I'm comfortable being single, but I'm certainly open to something long term if the right person came along, but i'm not really expecting that anymore. So for now, I'm ok with having fun and seeing where life leads.

Disclaimer: I really dont take online dating too seriously, but if we end up meeting up for drinks and nothing comes of it, then I consider it a worthwhile adventure.

Learning to see people's personal narratives for what they really are. Everyone has a story, and some people tell the same sad story their whole life. Most people find other people telling familar stories. Some are brave and find new stories, but the most amazing bunch of people (the ones i want in my life) are the ones that dont have a story. Their narrative doesnt define them. They get to be free to play as both the story teller, and character all at once.

I'm an excellent blues dancer, and love getting people hooked on social dancing. Ask me for a lesson, and i'll drag you out to a dance.
Ive been told I have "magic hands". I was raised by a massage therapist, and got certified after college, but never pursued it as a career. I still have a table, and occasionally give massages as a gift, but I try to keep it reserved for people i care about, or i'm really comfortable with.

I'm also a (learning)musician. I'd love to learn some music theory and meet musicians of all kinds. I play violin. I'm self taught, and never learned to read music, but i would love to play more jam sessions and develop as a musician.

An innocent face and a mischievous smile.

Sacred Economics
"Gifts inspire gratitude and generosity. It's infectious. When I witness generosity, I want to be generous too. We need each others' gifts as we need each others' generosity to invite us into the realm of the gift ourselves." - Charles Eisenstein ( An amazing author whose been a profound influence on how i see the world and relationships.

Since this section is pretty pointless.... I'm going to go ahead, and put things here that i find interesting, and enjoy talking about.

This guy knows how to play a violin.... and fuels my jealousy of overly talented asians.

Most people are better at giving then recieving, and having the sincerity and humility to ask can create connections that people would have never expected.

Ladies..... I'm handing you conversation starters on a silver platter right here, take note, because if you dont put any effort into converation, i'll ignore you. (I have a life outside of online dating.)

Dont think! Thinking will only get you into trouble.

I haven't decided yet. It depends on where im persuaded.

I've hitchhiked over 3000 miles, and i invite strangers to sleep on my couch.

Your willing to put yourself out there for the people and opportunities you want in your life. ( I've always found it really attractive when women go for what they want.)

 I tend to prefer chatting in person, rather than bouncing emails back and forth , so if you'd like to meet up for drinks, a meal or coffee, let me know. We can have great conversations on here, but if we meet and that attraction isn't there, then it saves us both alot of time, and lets us decide if some thing else might be there.
