MY PHOTO: I am sorry for the grumpy look that I am sporting in my picture, not to mention that it is a very my space-esque bathroom mirror shot. I don't have a ton of pictures of myself (and would be highly suspicious of any man who does. Lol), and the ones that I did have, perished with the hard drive of my old computer. Additionally, I am actually in better shape than how I look in that pic.

THE GOOD STUFF: Hey There, my name is Nathaniel and I am looking for an awesome girl. I am an EMT / Firefighter who coaches high school football and wrestling. I have spent the last few years working toward completing my History and Political science degree at Oakland University. What I would eventually like to do is move forward in either the healthcare field or other civil service. As of right now I work as an EMT / firefighter with the Rochester Hills Fire Department. I guess for extra brownie points I could throw in that I play guitar and love music. I also workout like it is about to go out of style. It keeps me centered.

UPDATE: As of the beginging of January of '09 I am back in school as a full time student. I am finishing my degree in History with a Poly Sci minor. When I have wrapped up school in April, I will be looking to work in law enforcement at the federal level (FBI ATF US MARSHALS). I will also be looking into military service. I still work with the fire department. I have recently discovered a website called crossfit.com, and have fallen in love with it. Cross fit is about elite levels of fitness for military, law enforcement, and those who love doing what most others cannot. Check it out.

UPDATE: As of May 2009 I have finished my degree and am now pursuing my career aspirations.

The reason for the updates is not to brag but place emphasis on the fact that I am moving forward and pursuing my goals and passions. This is a quality that I look for in women as well.

I am looking for an attractive woman who is intelligent and well spoken. She does not need to be a PhD, but being educated and informed is very becoming. I love it when a woman is feminine and can hold her own in an intelligent conversation. As far as what I am looking for in a relationship, I am very open to whatever evolves. If we talk and meet and find that we are best left leaving it at a cup of coffee, that is fine. On the other hand, if we find that we want to spend a lot more time together, that is awesome too. Blondes who are funny and athletic score serious extra brownie points.

I would love to hear from you, even if you think that I'm a jerk. I can promise that even if I don't think we are a match, I will extend you the courtesy of a short reply.

Talk to you soon,
Nathaniel

The first time I actaully meet someone in person (assuming we met online) I think that the cliche cup o' coffee is safe. That way, if you find that I am the embodiment of nails on a chalk board, we are free to go our own ways. The first real date could be something we are both interested in, or it could be something that we know nothing about in order experience something new together. I would be interested in everything from Sports events, Art institutes, aquariums, symphonies, and latin dance lessons, to fire works, beer and a cooler full of good food. We can decide what sounds like fun when the time comes.
