He's living his life and us madly in love

 

1) What do you do for work? - Grad school

2) Where are you from? - The Midwest region of the USA

3) What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know? I think there's always a bright side.

4) When was your last relationship and how long did it last? I haven't really had a stable relationship. I saw one lady for about a month, and that was it.

5) What are you looking for in a relationship? I'm looking for a genuine bond. I want someone who will appreciate my good qualities as much as I would hers. Trust, communication, honesty, and of course love, are definitely key.

6) What do you think is the most important value in a relationship? Honest communication.

7 ) Do you want to marry or have you ever been married? I have not been married. I am open to it, though.

8 What do you look for in a husband/wife? I'm not quite at that stage, but in addition to everything in #5, she'd be a great match. We would be compatible in terms of our sense of humor and lifestyle. She would be health-conscious (non-smoker, no drugs, non-alcoholic, etc.), have a great attitude about life, and be secure with herself. She would also be an intellectual, loving learning for its own sake. I'd want someone else who was open-minded, into many different activities like me, and willing to try new ones. She'd be classy and sophisticated, carrying herself well. She wouldn't be afraid to speak her mind, but would be assertive rather than aggressive. She'd have a big heart.

9) Do you want/do you have any children? I'm open to it, not strongly for or against it. I have no children of my own.

10) What do you do for fun? - Dancing, bowling, karaoke, video games, board games, learn languages

11) What are you most proud about? I'm proud of the person I've become.

12) Is religion important to you? Not per se. But my beliefs are important to me.

13) Do you follow politics? Not particularly. Are you a Democrat or a Republican? I guess I lean more Democrat, but I'm not staunch and am very open-minded. For me, it's about views rather than following a particular party.

14) Do you believe in love at first sight? I've thought so, but genuine love is something I think that takes time to form. So, I guess not.

15) What is your most treasured possession and why? I guess right now I'd say my computer. It's the way I stay in touch with most friends.

16) What is your favorite month of the year and why? December. It's the holiday season, and the month in which I was born.

17) Which is your favorite book/movie? Movie? I like fantastical books, like the Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter. Matilda is still one of my favorite movies.

18 Which is the last book you read? In full, I think it was "A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi," a book on the history of certain foreign words and phrases used by English speakers.

19) Which is the one job in the world that you would love to do? I could really see myself doing something with foreign languages, maybe tutoring, teaching, or translating.

20) Which is your favorite music and your favorite singer/band? Classical is a consistent favorite, but I don't know of a #1 favorite artist necessarily. Constant favorites though are MJ, Stevie Wonder, and Toni Braxton. I love music of all sorts of genres though.

21) Do you like animals/keep pets? I love animals. I (well my family and I because I was a child) used to have a cat, and have had several fish. I'd eventually like to maybe have a cat, as they I think are my favorite animal.

22) How do you spend your spare time? Listening to music, watching favorite sitcom reruns, surfing the web, etc.

26) If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life? What are the deepest regrets of a person? I don't believe in having regrets. If I hadn't make the mistakes of my past, my present could be different and perhaps less pleasant.

27) You have got six months to live, what will you do first? Make a name for myself doing something great.

28 Is sexual compatibility important to you? Yes.

29) Who was your hero, as a child? The Power Rangers.

31) Which was the first crush you ever had? This girl in my kindergarten class.

32) What makes you laugh/cry? Cry? Old sitcoms make me laugh. Oh yeah, and my mom and dad when they get agitated. Not much makes me cry, but select music and a rare tv scene has done it.

33) If you have friends coming over, what would you cook? It depends on what they'd want.

39) What adjective would a close friend use to describe you? Friendly.
