I am shy and reserved. Meeting new people is stressful for me. In my head a lot is going on, but I often keep my mouth shut when I don't have something significant to add to a conversation. That doesn't mean I am not interested in you, just reticent. If we share a few similar interests, I can hold my own, otherwise if you rely on the other person to carry the conversation all of the time, expect a lot of long awkward silences.
I am laid back, tolerant, and open-minded. I am intelligent, witty and articulate when I feel the need to be. I have a sense of humor which ranges from stupid to sarcastic and all the way back to stupid. I find amusement in awkward situations. I won't play games with your heart, but I do enjoy playing games. I am respectful and loyal to the lady I love.
I'm told that I look like I am a very serious person. I can be pensive, thoughtful and reserved at times, but mostly I am a big kid refusing to completely grow up. I'm opinionated and often not afraid to show it, but I do my best not to throw it in your face. Politically, I am a liberal, somewhere left-of-center. I am generally not interested in sports except ice hockey. I don't even really watch games on TV.
I am not a religious person (I'm an apathetic agnostic on my best day), but don't mind if you are, as long as you don't have any plans to proselytize me. I have a job that is dull to talk about that pays very well, but I am not a wealthy person, so if you are looking for the easy life and someone to provide for your every desire, please look elsewhere.
