I still believe in chivalry. If I ask you out, I'm going to open doors for you and pay for dinner. That's non-negotiable.

I'm a huge fan of the English language and not ashamed to admit that a girl who can wield a well-constructed sentence is a bit of a turn-on. If this sounds like you, show me what you've got.

If this is not made clear in other parts of my profile, I'm putting it here: I'm kind of a dork and I expect any and all potential partners to have a Dork Rating of 7.3 or higher. Nerds will also be considered, but please, no geeks.

I have a challenging, rewarding career that I'm thankful for as I can leave most of my stress at the door.

I'm considering going back to school to further pursue some interests and hobbies but I'm scared to be that old guy that remembers LiveJournal and can't tell the difference between Jersey Shore cast members.

Long piercing stares that penetrate the soul.

Black-rimmed glasses that earned me the nickname "Clark Kent."

Movies: Anything by Christopher Nolan, P.T. Anderson or George Lucas (pre-1999)

Shows: Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Community, Park and Recreation, Doctor Who and Sherlock (BBC).

Food: Fire.

Books: Technical journals.

Music: Brand New, Nine Inch Nails and Pearl Jam.
(Note: I was going to list all 6,129 bands in my iTunes Library here, but then I realized I'm not 14-years-old and this isn't MySpace.)

On the weekend, you'll find me in good company having a good time. Whether it's out hopping around town, or shooting the breeze with some close friends on game night.

..or at a Stars' game yelling at the opposing team's goalie after Jamie Benn undresses him.

My best friend growing up was my shih-tzu, Ace Ventura, Pet Dogtective.

You can convince me to reply.
