I am currently a PhD student in Computer Science, my career goal is to become a professor. I love to teach, as I have a natural tendency to make things simple for others to understand. The top three attributes I would consider myself as would be: honest, simple, and intelligent. I am an old fashioned nice guy, the one who is cool with pretty much everything.

I am an overachieving person who focused most of his life in academics so far, but now I would like to hang out and try new things with people. Hopefully it will develop into a serious relationship. It would be my first relationship but I intend to get it to work the first time. You may think that's crazy but I know it can be done with the right person, the right approach and lot's of hard work from both sides. Check out my list below to see what I mean. Are you up to the challenge?

For hobbies I am usually into competitive stuff. I like focus on one hobby at a time and be the best I can possibly be with it. Maybe I'll even be world champion at something someday. Right now I am into playing basketball, just started a few months ago.

When I am at home I mainly surf the web and watch news/shows/sports online. For music I don't have a preference really, I just listen to whatever that's on.

-----------------------------
If we follow the list below, we should have a great chance of succeeding till death. Note that none of this is final, if you disagree or got any more ideas then feel free to tell me. Also it doesn't mean we have to do all this by the first date, think of it as a goal that we are going to achieve.

My (incomplete) list of expectations for both of us in a serious relationship:
0. Be loyal - Don't cheat, duh. Relationship comes first, be committed. No temptations. Don't be weak.
1. Be honest - If we can't even trust each other, it will NEVER work. If the truth is terrible then let it be terrible, it only gets worse if you lie about it.
2. Be responsible - A serious relationship is a lot of hard work, be mature enough to do your part and get it done.
3. Be real - Be able to express everything about yourself, both good and bad. Do not hide. Do not pretend. No games.
4. Be open-minded - Respect our differences. Be willing to compromise. Accept our flaws. Nobody's perfect, a perfect relationship embraces this fact.
---
5. Satisfy our minds - Be able to give and receive excitement in life. Have good chemistry. Do fun stuff together at least once a while. Be able to entertain me(give), and be able to enjoy it when I entertain you(receive).
6. Satisfy our hearts - Be able to give and receive affection. Be loving and caring(give), and show appreciation when I give the same for you(receive).
7. Satisfy our bodies - Be able to give and receive good sex/cuddle. Sorry maybe it offends some of you but yes this is important as well. The sex happens later in the relationship of course.
8. No one can be perfect with all of 5, 6, and 7. Embrace our strong points. For our weak points: know them, accept them, compromise, and try our best to improve them in manageable steps.

Well if you manage to get all the way down here and you are still awake(and interested) then don't be shy and chat with me :)

Since everyone are so into fish here, how about visiting the aquarium? And then we can decide on having something like dinner, drinks, ice cream, or whatever so we can sit down and chat a bit. Yes I am paying of course :)
Or if you got any better ideas, let me know.
