I am genuine, reserved, and dependable.
My Self-Summary
Quiet & shy guy, don't break out of my shell until I get
comfortable with whoever I'm with ... after that, I'll be cracking
jokes and being pleasant. I prefer quiet company & conversation
with people I enjoy spending time with, reading, or thinking of
something to do.
My interests ... follow the NFL, NASCAR, and NHL, and have
teams/individuals I root for, but I don't foretell the end of the
world if I miss a broadcast or don't know the outcome of last
night's game. Own a classic car (weekend car, once restoration is
complete -- long story), so things "classic" will perk-up my ears.
Hitchcock is probably the best director of all time. More
comfortable with the jitterbug and polka than the "white man
overbite" on the dance floor (thank you, "When Harry Met
Sally").
My friends know who they are, I’m loyal and considerate to a
probable fault. What I think I would offer a woman is a dose of
reality, loyalty, a (albeit warped) sense of humor, and I guess the
knowledge I'll be there when you need me, even if you don't think
you do.
A woman who I think would be perfect for me is someone with the
self-confidence to try new things (or in the absence of, at least
enough to tell-me-off when I need it), smart (both book- and
street- preferred, but it's OK if you're only one), and energetic.
A willingness to grab the glove and throw each other grounders is a
big plus.
What I’m doing with my life
getting settled into this area, moved here from out-of-state for a
job
I’m really good at
- figuring stuff-out
- lawn care
- organizing
- thinking about cleaning
- wasting time online
The first things people usually notice about me
quiet, shy, somewhat sarcastic sense of humor, good posture (you
laugh, but I'm being serious)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
(A) books: Dickens was the man; really a pity that some of his
works are sniffed-at by the "literary professionals" because he
didn't *always* aim one of his novels at correcting a societal
wrong
(B) anything that keeps me entertained, with a low factor of "Oh,
c'mon -- that can't happen" (bends in reality)
(C) rock, country (banjos are cool!), polka (accordions are cool!),
some classical
(D) I'll eat nearly anything
I spend a lot of time thinking about
where I am in life
On a typical Friday night I am
relaxing after a long week, maybe watching a movie
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
... sorry -- it takes me some time to get to trust you, this space
here has NOT earned it
You should message me if
... your choice, really -- no arm-twisting
