Young guy, had a lot of bad experiences so looking for somone around my age, still in school or of college age who is mature, trustworthy, understanding, and affectionate. Prefreably intelligent, and likes to have fun. And by fun I mean anything from sitting around watching movies to going to a club and partying like crazy, then heading back to some place for a bit of intimacy. Anywhere along that range is fine. I'm a nice guy, but have a sharp wit so someone who has a sense of humor and isn't easily offended would be nice. I'm rather flexible and tolerant, and am willing to go at a slower pace if a girl is more comfortable that way, just not sloth-slow. I suppose that makes me weird- I can come across as a wiseguy clown but am very sweet and sensitive inside...like an apple dumpling, except I won't make you fat or kill you if you have diabetes. That wasn't a joke by the way,though once you start talking to me, I'll have you in stiches from laughing. It was meant more as a metaphor. At the same time, I'm a empathetic listener always willing to provide support and reurance....i'm a complex guy, basically, not some dumb douche looking just to get laid (though the latter bit isn't exactly objectionable....). I am also a strong non conformist. I enjoy writing and art in all its forms, from sculpture ot film to video games, and hope to either be a novelist or screenwriter someday, or perhaps teach creative writing. While I'm open to pretty much anything, what I truly want in the long run is love, a real, intimate companionship with another person who is open-minded, affectionate, and above all, honest. I don't like teasers or people who are unsure. This is mostly because I have been deeply hurt in the past by previous relationships, and don't want it to happen again. I have been alone a long time, and think that after a great deal of putting up with rotten people I want to finally find happiness with another person.
