This week, we have two singles who love to be active and revel in the great outdoors. See? You already have something in common. Don’t be shy, guys. If you like them, reach out at [email protected] and tell us about yourself. Maybe you and our single can go on a raging river-rafting, spear-throwing, mountain lion-fighting outdoor adventure together. Maybe you will get caught in a rainstorm and have to survive by body heat. That sounds pretty passionate to us.
If you want to be featured or know somebody who is single and ready for romance, hit us up.
Sam Lindsay
Age: 26
Occupation: Freelance graphic designer
Sign: Scorpio
How long have you lived here in Durango?One year. Eleven months.
What kind of qualities do you look for in someone?Confidence, beauty, patience, and an ability to go with the flow or roll with the punches, as they say. So you may call that resilience. Not get too stressed out over trivial things.
If your friends were to describe you, what would they say? I think they would say Sam is a genuine guy who is funny and has his shit together, for the most part, while he is still trying to figure it out, but he pays the bills. My roommates would say that, hopefully. Reliable. He’s a reliable friend and he’s fun, but serious when he needs to be.
Do you have Peter Pan syndrome?I want to grow up but on my own terms. … But I hope I can always say, “When I grow up…” even when I’m 50. So I like to stay young in my mind, but I still like to always feel like I’m making progress in the game of life. I understand the need to get things together, keep things organized, be smart about and think about the future, and set myself up for success in the future. And I don’t think I’m avoiding a committed relationship either. I’m over all that sleeping around and stuff, so… I’m pretty good without somebody, but hopefully good with somebody, too.
What do you enjoy doing? I really like going mountain biking in the summer, and I really like to go snowboarding in the winter. I learned how to ski this winter. Hoping to do that some more. But (a) good weekend is – go out and do something fun like that, get super tired and exhausted, and then come home, take a shower, go eat good food, drink a beer, and then watch a movie. Boom. Done. Best day. Solid day. But some multi-day excursions are good, too.
Tell us something about you that you want to improve on? I’d like to improve on – man this feels like a job interview now. Shit. We are all looking for the emotional answers here, I assume, because I want to get better at mountain biking, but that is probably not the answer we are looking for here. I want to improve on everything that I’m passionate about.
Why did you come out here? To try something new, to escape the city, to live in the mountains, to ride mountain bikes, go snowboarding. Live somewhere that was fun and different from where I’ve always been my whole life, which is western Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Anything else you want to add? I’m a good guy. I feel like I know who I am, so take it or leave it.
