I'm now a class III boater, can achieve a full backbend, change my own oil, cook a steak, replace a hardrive and compose photos. It's like "dating for personal improvment." I wanna surf next... Mitch? What are you up to? Seriously though, I do tend to be attracted to people whose activity/hobby/occupation of choice is something I'm into.

My problem is that sometimes I don’t consider the other aspects of the person that may not make them the best partner. So once I’ve learned what I’m interested in the realtity of the rest of the guy’s personality kicks in and I’m out the door.
