I like to listen more than I like to talk. I'm comfortable with just being with someone instead of injecting random conversation for the sake of filling up silence.

I'm a pretty eclectic guy with a lot of different interests to maintain my sense of humour, perspective, and sanity :) I'm a full-time surgical resident and part-time pianist/bassist/wannabe golfer/cook (although not so much nowadays). You're more likely to find me in a coffeeshop or a bookstore than a club or bar. I turn fluorescent red after a mere thimble-full of anything alcoholic. This doesn't always stop me, but it usually comforts spectators to know that I'm not actively dying or having a stroke. I have very little patience for clothes shopping (unless it's a surgical strike or I'm with somebody really special), but I can spend all day in a supermarket (malls generally are okay). I'm a pretty low-maintenance, mellow guy and I can have fun doing pretty much anything (or nothing at all); it's more about who you're with than what you're doing, I think.

I might seem really shy (probably because I am) but I'm actually very friendly when you get to know me. It just takes me a while to open up to people, I guess. People probably see more layers of me the longer they know me, but I suppose that's true for everyone.

Honest, genuine, and caring people who value being themselves as opposed to being facades of who they really are. Definitely friendly people who like to smile. After that, people who like (good) music, sports, food and video games get extra bonus points :)

Oh, and girls who wear nice perfume. That's *always* good! ^_^
