(first, my screen name is just a combo of my first initial and my middle name. My mother wanted to have part of my name reflect the Japanese part of my ancestry)

I'm your typical nice guy. I highly value honesty and try to be as honest as humanly possible (I don't even tell white lies). I'm more of a homebody than an outdoors guy, a nerd at heart, but I do still like to get outside and take in the great outdoors from time to time. I also like to work out on a regular basis. I'm kind of shy at first, but it doesn't take long for me to warm up to people if I decide that I like them. I prefer one on one interactions or small groups over larger gatherings.

Right now I'm just trying to work my way through college. I am currently trying to get my degree in teaching while delivering for Pizza Hut. I'm currently going to Lindenwood and have another 2 years before I get my degree. Seeing as I am very busy I should mention that I can't be the kind of guy who can meet with you every day so you would have to be okay with only seeing each other 2-3 times a week at most (at least until Summer or I graduate). I would go on more, but I have found it's best to reveal things about yourself in smaller doses to keep some of the mystery alive.

I like women who are more outgoing (it helps to balance me out), but who also can just sit back, relax and enjoy some time alone together. She should also like to be affectionate and the desire to cuddle is a must. It would be nice if she had a healthy sex drive. That is definitely not all I'm looking for, but still I feel that sex is a large part of a healthy relationship (especially around my age) so we have to be compatible in that regard. She needs to be a generally good person and, like me, she should highly value honesty (I'd rather hear an ugly truth than a pretty lie). A "nerdy" girl would be nice, but I have found that I am extremely adaptable in my activities and I can enjoy almost any activity if I'm with the right person, so if I don't share all of your interest/hobbies now I'd probably be willing to learn so long as it isn't something that requires me to do anything too crazy. It's about spending quality time together, not the activity itself.

I am looking for someone who can be potentially long term, though I'm okay if it ends up being short term. That being said I have the simple goals in life of finding someone who I can raise a small family with. I do want one or two children eventually (not right now obviously, but probably shortly after I get situated in my career). Obviously though we wouldn't have to get into those details unless we were getting really serious.

The first date for me is a meeting to see if two people click, so I don't like the traditional dinner and a movie. Dinner is fine, but I would rather do some sort of activity either before or after in order to get more time to get to know the person. maybe a walk in the park, go bowling, play some mini-golf, just have dinner at one of our places, or lately I've had an urge to try and ice skate again (haven't gone in years).
