I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The first thing I want to say is that while I grew up and lived most of my life in NYC I have been gone for much of the past two years and having come back many of my friends are now in other places. My priority right now is to reconnect with those I haven't seen in a while, and make new lifelong friends here in my hometown.
My body is in New York City and most of the time my heart is too, but in my soul there are no boundaries.
I yearn for true love, the romantic kind. I am never ashamed to be naive about that kind of thing. I refuse to settle for less, and while I'm not incomplete being single, it has been a while since something really good came along.
Sometimes I contradict myself and that's fine with me. I'm easygoing but I have very high standards. I'm patient, but I hate waiting. (That's a good way to tell if I think you're worth it.)
I usually give all of myself to those that I trust. Sometimes it hurts me in the end, but I feel like I owe it to those I call my friends to be completely myself.
