Looking for friends but eventually would like to take it further if it turns into something better/more serious after becoming good friends. Who I am; I'm a techie/outdoor guy with no baggage of any kind. I like Japanese, Mediterranean, South American cuisines and occasional Outback steak. I do listen to many different kind of music from Jazz to Opera, but in the car it's either something Techno or NPR. TV watching is mostly limited History, Discovery, Comedy. Hobbies; computers, electronics, reading, traveling, photography, martial arts, swimming and windsurfing (when I can). Current (and well, for the next 5 decades) pet: A baby African Grey Parrot. I know the importance of sending occasional flowers to her (human female significant other) office, spending time together, listening, not taking her for granted and the significance of how small things may add up to make her feel loved and cared for. I will continue to open the doors for you whether we've been together for 5 days or 5 years. What I believe when it comes to relationships and where one needs to go in life (although in both cases sometimes it may take a long time and a very patient person/couple) is; "whether you believe you can, or believe you can not, you are right".
