I'm interested in the well-being of my friends.
I try to be helpful, listen, be attentive, trustworthy and sympathetic.
I tend to be straightforward with advice or counsel.

I'm open to new ideas or new ways of thinking about old problems.
I love to approach a conventional idea and explore it from a novel perspective.
I like to think and feel my way into intellectual adventures.
I learn from personal and interpersonal experiences as well as from classrooms and textbooks.
I crave new information. When I come across a new or interesting idea I light up.

Emotionally I am sometimes steady, sometimes responsive.
I aim to be emotionally balanced.
I try to deal with whatever comes up in ways that are perceptive and flexible.
I feel free to express my passions about certain subjects with appropriate people.

When I take on a task I do my best to get the job done.
In an organised way I define the goal, lay out a plan, figure how long the task will take, and get to work.
I'm committed to to the plan, but not a slave to it.
When plans change, I adapt, undeterred. In fact, sometimes I change the plan.
I'm proud of my work ethic, but also enjoy my play time.

In my view people, not money make the world go around.
I try to communicate well. This means trying to listen well.
In situations where I feel safe and trust the people I'm with I let my affection for and pleasure in being with others flow freely. When I get back this same kind of unrestrained warmth, I'm deeply satisfied, these are among my favourite moments.

I am looking for someone who is similar enough to be compatible and different enough to be interesting.

I value honesty, integrity, compassion, understanding, patience, loyalty, a high EQ and effective, open & honest communication.
