Difficult as it is to try and summarise myself in a small box I'll give it a go:

I'm a bit of a geek - science is awesome. I enjoy socialising and meeting new people. I love travelling and exploring cities. I like watching rugby, particularly Ireland matches. I like to think I'm friendly, easy-going and like to have a laugh.

I don't really have a "type", just someone I can get on well with.

Mixing chemicals together in an attempt at research; trying desperately to develop some super cool hobbies now I no longer need to waitress in my spare time.

procrastinating, pub quizzes, bargain hunting

Belfast accent maybe?

I've always been into books and although the Famous Five no longer feature as one of my favourites, here are a few others: The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Song of Ice and Fire series, To Kill a Mockingbird, Far From the Madding Crowd, Dracula.

TV programs: Sherlock, New Girl, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Horrible Histories, The O.C., True Blood, Hornblower, Gossip Girl, Downton Abbey, The Big Bang Theory, 1960's Batman, The Wacky Races, Father Ted, Brass Eye.

Music taste varies depending on my mood but I'm not a big fan of country or hardcore dance!

Friends, family, tea, hats, music, cheeses

decorating a hypothetical house - seriously, after years of renting, I would love to

having a pint, listening to some live music or watching an old movie

I am instantly suspicious of anyone using a dating site, including myself

you have your own hair and teeth. Or a yacht.
