I'm not really sure what to expect from this whole online dating thing specially because I have never met anyone off of the internet. I guess it's worth a chance to see who is out there. The job I do and my work/school schedule really isn't conducive to meeting people.... so here I am.

Let's see, my name is Nathan, born and raised in southern California. I'm easy going, Kinda shy at first but I warn up quickly, I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I know where I'm going in life and I am pretty determined to get there while keeping options open to fall back on. I'm currently going to school, working towards my bachelors degree as well as working full time. In my free time I like to stay as active as possible doing pretty much anything like concerts, theme parks, hanging out with my family, and the list goes on. I like to workout whenever I can and trying to stay in shape is important to me. I have been told I'm not your typical guy, what ever that means. I will admit I'm not really that big into the whole bar or club scene, but the occasional drink and hangout on karaoke night is fun. I also try to avoid drama at all cost(life is to short to waste on it). I served about 5 years in the Marine Corps as an infantry rifleman and an instructor before I got injured (no, not like Lieutenant Dan from Forest Gump, nor am I permanently disabled). I still do have both leg and all 3 arms. As they say, "There 3 kinds of people in this world. Those who can count, and those who can't." My interests say a little a bit about me but there is too much to put on here. So if you want to know more just ask.

Now about you. I would like to meet a down to earth girl that shares similar interests, someone without the Jerry Springer drama would be nice too. Honesty and trust are huge to me and I would expect the same in return from others. I'm pretty active and would like to find someone that doesn't mind going out and doing things, but also doesn't mind staying in and watch a movie on the couch.


And now if you made it this far, my "possible deal-breaker disclaimer":

If every picture you have shows your cleavage, your half naked booty, your sense of style in lack of clothing or if you have pictures of random body parts and none of your face...possible deal-breaker!(leave something to the imagination. This is public internet site after all and you don't know who can be doing what with your pictures)

If you aren't over you ex's...deal-breaker!(I wont compete with your ex's for you. I don't play those games and it's more drama than I care for)

If you only have pictures of you and you girlfriends who are of the same ethnicity and hair color without labeling who is who...not a deal breaker (LOL), but it can be a little difficult trying to figure out which one you are!

If you do drugs...deal-breaker! (and yes, that includes abuse of OTC drugs, pills, E, Hippieflips, NOX, Pikachu, Wafers, Pingus and Mota or what ever you want to call them. Regardless what people say "420" is a drug in my book)

If you only possess pictures of you at the bar/club or only with drinks in your hand...possible deal-breaker!(there has to be other photo opportunities in your life other than those (unless that's where you spend all your free time))

If you are old enough to be my mother or grandmother...deal-breaker!(sorry there is no possible for that one(I'm sure you can understand))

If you are overweight...possible deal-breaker!(it's just my preference)

If you smoke...deal-breaker!(lost my mother to lung cancer, sorry there is no possible for that one either)

If you are a liar, cheater or stealer...deal-breaker!(I am faithful and honest and I feel if there is a need to cheat then you should just break up prior to that point)

I know that may sound harsh but those are some of the things I have learned from. Albert Einstein once said the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." You live, learn and become wiser.

Ultimately I am looking to meet someone that I can build a good relationship with. I'm not looking for a one night stand, but I'm not looking to get married tomorrow either. The key for me here is quality not quantity, but I am also realistic and know that I am probably asking for too much. If life were a fairytale that would be fine but it's not, plus how do you know if you are compatible with someone if you don't spend some time with them. I want to meet some new people and if there is a spark between us, then we will take it from there. If nothing relationship wise comes of it, then there is always room for a few more good friends.

Also, I'm not the type of person who gives out my number in the first message. I would prefer messaging a little bit or even trading my space or face books to get to know you before making the phone number exchange. So if you interested and think we would be a good match send me a message.

I feel the first date is more of an face to face introduction in to get to know each other, so it should be something simple like lunch, dinner, a cup of coffee or a Jamba Juice....that way if things aren't jiving or it gets too awkward, it's easier to walk way from a drink than it is a round of miniature golf(I can't believe I just used the word "jiving"). If the introduction goes well, then maybe we can plan a date or an activity.
