Calmquiet, 41

I'm a 25 year old gentleman who is looking for someone to hang out with. I have a hard time meeting people that I have a lot in common with because I tend to stay very busy with school, work, and music.

I'm an independent kind of guy and, to be completely honest, have been called insensitive because I expect others to be just as self sufficient. I get easily annoyed by people that are needy and/or clingy.

The people that I usually get along best with are creative and intellectual. I love to party but don't mind staying home and writing a song or painting on a Saturday night. Some people MUST PARTY on the weekend just because it's the weekend. I'm looking for someone who is just as comfortable with living in the moment and doing whatever might be unconventional yet fun.

I'm kind of at this point in my life that I'm trying to recreate myself by getting out of my ordinary behaviors and trying new things. It'd be great to have someone to explore these things with.

It's also rather important that you like dogs. I have two small dogs that are very good friends to me. I tend to listen to their opinion of people too (sounds kind of freakish, but they do tell me when a person can't be trusted!).

Wow - I feel like I'm writing all of the reasons why you shouldn't date me. Really, I'm not as gruff as this description sounds. Drop me a line.
