I don't usually join social networking sites but I thought I'd try something new other than traditional methods. I'm a guy who considers himself emotionally intelligent and knows what he wants out of life. I come from a big family so I'm very family oriented. I love to experience new places whenever I get the chance and plan on traveling the world as time comes. At the same time, I love to be lazy whenever time provides. I also love cooking, playing basketball, swimming...or at least not drowning...eating, learning, watching movies, running, walking, and pushing myself to try new things. I'm looking for a different kind of girl that I can be amazing friends with first. Should that friendship blossom into something more then that would be even better. I want a girl who is simple to please, truthful, and appreciates a nice guy. She should have great family values and communication skills. Confidence, intelligence, sense of humor, patience, understanding, and generosity are also nice values to have. And a girl with a great, sweet smile will catch my attention more than anything else. I like meeting new people and like to hear how they've come to their present position in life, so if you're looking for an excellent listener then I'm your guy. If all I get out of this experience is a great friend then I would consider it successful.

After working as a banking officer for 5 years, I learned that I liked to be my own boss. I'm an entrepreneur now who is always exploring new ideas and expanding my horizons.

Update: I realize this sort of makes me look like I'm unemployed so I thought I'd give a little more detail on what I do. In a very large nutshell, I work in the aviation industry buying and selling aviation-grade fuels. There's a lot more to it but I don't want to take too much information away from possible future conversations.

Well I like to think I'm good at cooking and occasionally baking. I'm also really good at anything fitness related whether it be personal training or nutrition. But I think my biggest strength would have to be listening and giving people advice. I'm one of the few people who actually takes joy in listening to others speak. I am never one to raise my voice or talk over anybody. And I'm always quick to get an understanding and empathize with a person. It's a skill I'm proud of.

I don't know, I guess how young I look for someone my age. I guess I have good genes.

Movies- I like anything really, even an occasional "chick flick"...but not too "chick flicky." I know not a word.
Shows- I really don't watch too much tv but I like to watch crime shows like Criminal Minds or Law and Order. And yes, I still like to watch Spongebob...the old ones though not the new ones.
Music- I guess it depends on my mood. I could listen to Metallica one minute, Coldplay the next, and maybe some classical piece later on. I've very diverse.
Food- Everything except Indian food really. I consider myself an adventurous eater and will not judge anything until I've tasted it at least 3 times.

Family
God
Gym
Friends
Music
Cheese!

Whether I should get rid of the huge spider that's been living in the corner of my bedroom for about 5 years now. He feels like family but can be unsightly. I named him Pedro.

Usually, this is my chill out time due to a hectic week. If I do something, it's usually something low-key like going to dinner or watching a movie. And I absolutely do not like to "party" or go to nightclubs...this just isn't me and I would appreciate it if anybody contacting me would make note of this. Personally, I'm a have-a-good-conversation-under-the-stars kind of person.

I had an opportunity to be a child model but backed out because I had a big fear of being famous, haha! How curious a child's mind can be.

If you think i'm cute or something. Ha, on a deeper level, if you're looking for a genuine guy who has his life together and is completely drama free.
