Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I know how to fold fitted sheets, and I'll cook chicken soup for you when you're sick. I love board games and am not a sore loser (usually...um, that may be a lie). Sometimes I'm a homebody and revel in my solitude, and suddenly I'm a social bee, eager to make new friends and have new adventures. It's all about balance, right?

You should be smart, kind, ambitious and open-minded -- meatheads need not apply! I'm looking for someone who's also handsome, self-aware, emotionally available, and that magical mix of funny/serious, high-/low-brow and laid-back/neurotic. Ultimately it comes down to chemistry, and I'll know you when I see you and you'll know me too.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

relaxing at home with a glass of wine and a Netflix, or spending time with friends, out and about. Typical is overrated.

Secrets are best traded in person, don't you think?

You should message me if Propose an edit

you're a dreamy hybrid of Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg, Stephin Merritt and Morrissey. But no pressure! Feel free to write if you just wanna say hello (I'm sure I'll be flattered).

Also, if you wear a beard, glasses and button-down shirts under sweaters I will probably have a crush on you.

Oh, and I absolutely love computer programmer types. Calling Apple tech support makes me woozy, and the Genius Bar makes me swoon.
