Me: I am a US Marine. My job is very important to me, it takes up a lot of my time. I enjoy pretty much every sport you can think of. My true passion is music. I dj as a hobby, own all my own stuff. Like to cut mixes, dance, and throw parties. That is one thing I am really good at. I also really enjoy cooking, asian and caribbean cuisine are my favorites, and I am pretty good on the grill. Very easy going, "no worries" attitude. I am a world traveler, been to more countries than I can count on two hands. I road trip constantly, and frequent New York and Washington DC. I was born and raised in Connecticut. I am a city boy, and need a big city to keep me going. I like to think I am cultured. All my friends call me the funny guy. Open and honest, just looking for some new people to have a good time with.

You: I don't really have a specific type of girl I like, I am open to everyone. I can say that I need someone who is adventurous, social, and who likes to go out. Sundays are for staying in, but the rest of the week is fair game. Too much to experience to stay stagnant. I like girls that wear big earrings and big sunglasses. That are casual, but like to get dressed up once in awhile. That enjoy the arts, and don't need it, but don't mind the extra attention. I have a love/hate relationship with New Jersey, but tend to find myself quite attracted to the Jersey Girl type. Got to have an eclectic taste in music, not mind watching sports occasionally or hanging out with the guys. I think toe jewelry and accents are a plus. If you can sing, I'll be in love. Blond, Brunette, Redhead, doesn't matter if you smile a lot. Laugh at my jokes, hold my hand in public, and make up a nickname for me, and you are in...

A first date should be a new experience for both parties, so you can feel equally as awkward. Not a movie, something that requires the time, interaction, and teamwork to get to know someone. Dinner is cool, but something exotic, getting a slice of pizza is for later when you are comfortable. Any physical activity can be fun, or enjoying some kind of art, music, etc. I do enjoy a drink, so that will come into play at some point in the night, plus, helps to loosen up and make things more personal.
