So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Hey everyone. I have found someone who is really incredible so I am no longer on the single market but wouldn't mind making new friends. But now that I am with someone I don't sign on here too much. Before you go any further I do need to make something perfectly clear. I am not into mindgames and i'm not into women who love to break men's hearts. Also judgmental people need not apply. Here goes:

My name is Michael. I am 23 years old and in my last year at Gardner-Webb University finishing my bachelor's degree. I graduate in May with a degree in Music Education that will certify me to teach any kind of music (Band, Chorus etc) at any grade level.

I have had my heart broken many times by those who I thought loved me. I will be honest and say that I don't have the greatest self-esteem but I am very confident in who I am as a person. I am very sweet and caring and the people who benefit from that the most are those who aren't afraid to open themselves. I love life for the most part even through all the stuff bad stuff I've endured.

I have many goals and aspirations in life but my biggest one is to meet someone that I can fall in love with and marry and have beautiful children with them. I will say that when I get really excited about things I tend to rush and I don't mean for it to happen but it does. Also I'm tired of girls telling me that they love me and then a week later tell me they don't wanna be with me.

I'm a very deep thinker and a I love to talk about philosophy (even though I may not act intelligent sometimes I really am) and the reasons on why things happen. I believe things in life whether good or bad happens for a reason which will make me stronger one day.

I have the greatest family in the world (even though they're a little on the crazy side lol.) My family means everything to me and would not trade them for anything.

I AM NOT looking for a wild girl who parties and does drugs and drinks all day and night. Also preferably one who doesn't smoke. I'm looking for someone who wants the same things I am looking for. I will be friends with anyone but I am picky about certain things.

I can't really think of anything else so if you want to know more then I would be intrigued to know you.

If you would like to contact me on AIM, , or my space those names are available upon request. Don't be afraid to ask for them.

I'm a real flexible and easy going person. Anything the girl would enjoy would be fine. Some of the things I like to do is go to dinner, walk through the park, bowling, miniature golf, go cart racing, shooting pool or just sitting somewhere and getting to know each other over something to drink (I don't do the bar scene). I also love to just sit under the stars and think about life. I don't do the whole movie thing because (and I think 99.9% of the population would agree) you can't get to know each other if you can't talk to each other.
