Well for starters I guess a formal introduction is in order:

My name is Mike, I am 27 years old, and I reside here in Albuquerque New Mexico. I have lived here for about 6 years now. I work and go to school full time, I am currently transferring University's, I'm planning to continue my education at Highlands University here in town in their BSW/MSW program. I work as a residential instructor with individuals who have developmental disabilities.

When I'm not in the classroom, or at work there are many activities that occupy my spare time. Lately it has been mostly music, my best friend and I have just ordered the mass production of our debut CD. Should be here by Christmas, we're very excited about it!"Echoing Dream" is the name of our group; it is a classical guitar and native flute solo and duo album. But when not painting silence, I enjoy the same things your average American does, movies, malls, restaurants, going to the park, the gym, playing pool, bowling, reading, cooking. I am very low maintenance when it comes to activity as I am easily amused.

I don't really have a certain "type" as far as attraction goes. but certain internal qualities, and other traits that stand out for me are definitely important.

A woman that knows who she is, and is comfortable in her own skin. She would have a Religious background of some sorts, and wishes to continue to grow in her faith and spirituality. She would be classy, down to earth, goofy, understands chivalry, respect, and hopeless spontaneous romance. Has a love for the arts of all kinds, a love for culture, has tastes of sophistication, as well as holding onto the simple things. She would love music, though musically inclined would be totally awesome, I've never got to actually "jam" with someone I've dated, I think that it'd be the most amazing experience to have with someone. But, it's certainly not mandatory that you play something. long as you love music of all kinds, and be wishing to hear a crappily written tune here and there and critique it, we'll be good.

I'm a one woman man, and would also like to start a family of my own. I know it may be a lot to ask, and you might be saying, "well, gee, what the hell do I get out of this?" and I answer. You will get a Even keeled optimist that tries in any and all situations to find the positive, and who will learn from mistakes made. You will get a devoted, creative lover on all fronts, someone that will provide for you, love you unconditionally, serve you wholeheartedly, be a devoted husband, a loving father, and a true partner until the end. I can surprise you with a candle lit serenade, turn into a CMA when you're sick, and be your teddy bear when we watch a scary movie. Any and all other concerns or questions please feel free to contact me.

Well the first date is all about fun. So many people who are nervous about first dates and treat them like a job interview are already dead in the water. Lets do something fun that we both would enjoy, skip serious questions and religious and political debates and just talk about where we are, where we want to see ourselves, and enjoy the evening. Just sit back, relax and enjoy someone else s company is what that date is going to be about. If the chemistry is there we're going to know it, and pretty much drives itself.
