The most honest answer I can give is that I have no idea how to sum myself up in a paragraph, let alone what I'm looking for in someone else, and I'm not really sure where to start, but here goes:
I am probably best understood as a series of contradictions. I am in general pretty extroverted and outgoing, but I need a lot of alone time. I am a very compassionate person, but boy am I feisty and I can be stubborn as hell sometimes. I love to have a stable, cozy home life but I also have a touch of wanderlust and hope to see most of the world before I die. I love exercising, but I hate making myself do it. I consider myself a feminist in a lot of ways, but I spend forever on my hair, I can't kill bugs, and I think affection is the bread of life. My politics and my world view are very 21st century, but a big part of me will always remain old-fashioned at heart.
And a few things that are not contradictory about me at all: I am incredibly passionate about what I am doing with my life, my friends and my family are a lifeblood for me, I am loving and loyal to the bone, I take great comfort in my glass-half-full view, I think life is short and should be savored in the little moments that make it worthwhile and in the company of people you love, and I am incapable of being untrue to myself, which might drive you crazy sometimes but is the surest thing about me.
And as for you? Well, here's for exposing my inner cheesiness, but I appreciate nothing more than a sincerely nice, caring guy, who is sensitive enough to get me to let my guard down but not so sensitive that he can't keep up with my sarcastic sense of humor :P I think mutual respect is the most important thing in a relationship. I like someone who challenges me to be a better person. I also like someone who gets me to laugh at myself, who doesn't tickle me too often because I'm super sensitive and I really can't stand it, and who always votes Democrat (I'm kidding...ish?).
