Hi! I'm new to this experience and look forward to being a good match here for someone. I grew up here in the Chicagoland area and have most of my family here as well. A good friend recommended match to me ....so let's see how this goes. It seems to be a better choice than meeting complete strangers at a bar or club without knowing a little about their background. Im basically looking for someone who is ready for a committed relationship and stability in their life. I hope you are focused with what you want in life and enjoy living a healthy life style with family and friends as an important part of that picture. I'm pretty easy going, but believe in working smart and planning for the future. For me, anything can be fun if its with the right person..whether its getting out of the house to try a new restaurant or attend an event or staying home watching a movie or game and cooking out on the grill. I enjoy most sports and have recently found my self busy with and somewhat liking home projects. Maybe you are a chicago teams sports fan and/or maybe you enjoy a little travel and visiting new places as well especially during the coldest times of the winter. I have an appreciation for most music styles and learned to play guitar gowing up so I was always exposed to music. Whats most important in a relationship to me is to be team. I'm a focused person who enjoys setting goals and achieving them. I look forward to learning new things from others and dont need somebody thats exactly the same as me necessarily. I had some reservations about trying online dating, but have heard some positive feedback from friends. I look forward to some good times, new experiences, and learning new interests so if you read my profile and think we might click, send a wink or email and if we have chemistry we can go from there! Thanks for reading my profile:)
