I listen well. I forgive everything. I give good advice. I'm empathetic. I'm an open book. I daydream. I pace. I run into things. I think people are essentially good. I think people are essentially selfish. I see no contradiction in the above two statements. I fall in love once every two years. I'm a writer who spends most of his time writing. I'm a planner. I'm protective of my time. I'm generous with my time. I'd rather not throw time away. I'd rather have an argument than avoid it. I take criticism well. I am confident, but not proud. I'm good in the clutch, but not in the spur-of-the-moment. I'm an optimist. I giggle. I enjoy your company. I think you're fascinating, unique and misunderstood.

I'm looking for someone who can challenge me intellectually, who wants to understand and be understood, who is attractive and finds me attractive and who will drag me out onto the dance floor, because really, I enjoy being silly and just want to make you laugh.

I'm a playwright. So I write, a lot.

empathy, self-reflection, conflict resolution, and god let us hope I can write plays

that I'm genuine, self-effacing and disarming
or perhaps my very particular laugh
