It says I'm looking for 'Hang Out'. That's true but I'm also open to more if I meet the right person. For the time being though lets keep it simple.

I think I'm pretty awesome, but not in the stuck up "I'm better than you" kind of way. I think I'm awesome more in the "I'm very confident in myself and happy with who I am" kind of way. I know my faults but those are just as important as my merits in making me the person writing this self-summary.

Right now I'm living in Tokyo, teaching English. I work at 5 elementary schools near Ikebukuro. Since I've started working at the elementary schools my daily life has improved a lot because it's impossible not to be in a great mood when you're around 100s of cute little kids that are genuinely excited to see you and have your class.

I think a lot and while I don't consider myself any better at it than the next person, I do like having abstract conversations about anything that can come up. I love learning random things and then someday being able to pass those random things on to new people. For example did you know humanity is on pace to lose half of the languages in the world in 50 years? Did I mention I'm a linguistics geek?

Lately I've been thinking about my future. I want to travel more before I start getting old and have responsibilities I can't put on hold like a family. I'm thinking I'd like to go to graduate school for linguistics, and eventually travel the world recording dying languages and the stories contained within them.

If you have documented on this website that you like to do any of the following, we're probably not going to get along very well: Having fun, having a good time, hanging out with friends. Honestly people who doesn't like to have fun or be with friends? I've never met a person in my life that didn't like having fun. I'm pretty sure that every human being likes to have fun simply because of the definition of the word fun.

I like hedgehogs, watching historic documentaries, and college football. I think that says a lot about me.

For a first date, it depends on if we've agreed it's a date or not. Usually I lean towards 'lets hang out' when I ask a girl out, so it's not a formal date. I also really hesitate to say what I'd do on here because there's a good chance that I'll actually do these things and it ruins the surprise if I post up what I'm going to do before I do it.

To put it in general terms, I'd try to take her/meet her somewhere she's never been before in the city but would have a genuine interest in going to see. We'd walk around, talk lots, pick a place to eat and have lunch/dinner, and then depending on how things are going maybe we could go out for drinks afterwards or just say bye and leave it at that.

If it's a formal DATE (gosh I haven't gone on a formal date in a long time :( ) I guess I would try to pick a nice place and wow her with my charm and sense of humor. In general I guess it would be the same as above, only more confined to one place with the possibility of more afterwards... maybe? ¯\(º_o)/¯
