1) Do you see yourself as a confident? If in certain areas and not others, specify. Quickly, how do you think others would describe you.

I think I'm semi-confident. I'm confident when I'm alone, and sometimes when I'm with groups of people. I know I'm pretty smart, and there are a lot of things I'm able to do fairly well. I'm not so confident in most social situations though.

I think others would describe me as nice, laid back, a bit odd, pretty cheery, pretty enjoyable to be around, awkward when I'm first getting to know someone, fairly funny, passionately opinionated, etc.


2) Quickly describe your life. What do you do for a job, what do you do in your free time?

I live at home with my parents right now. I graduated from a two-year college program that I took because I had no idea what I was doing. The associate's degree I got is basically useless. Now I have a bunch of debt I have to pay off. I just got a part-time job at a grocery store, and I'm hoping to find more work so I can have enough income to live on my own and also chip away at my hunk of debt.
Mostly what I do in my spare time is chill in front of my computer, browsing the interwebs and instant messaging friends, and I also longboard quite a bit. Oh and I hang out with friends sometimes as well.


3) What are your ambitions? What are you doing to improve yourself?

I mostly want to be self-supporting, and happy of course. Not that I'm really unhappy right now. I just think I would be happier if I was on my own, working, and not spending much time with my parents. Oh, I want to be better with social situations as well. To improve myself I guess I'm working/looking for work, and going out to social functions with my friend(s) a little bit.


4) What would you like to do (in terms of hobbies, self-improvement, ambitions, etc)? Why are you not doing this?

Well, I would like to find a girlfriend...
I would like to move into my own apartment.
I'd like to go to a physiotherapist and get my wrist fixed up so I can longboard the way I used to be able to.
I'd like to see a therapist on a regular basis. I think it would be good for me. I believe I have a number of personal issues that I could use some help with (my shyness being one of those).
I'd like to build my own car at some point in my life.

Most of those things I'm not doing because I'm broke, and I guess laziness plays a part as well. I'd like to think that working at this job is helping me get closer to a lot of them though.
Also, I like to take my time at things.


5) How often do you meet women? In what setting? Do you feel like you connect with them, if not, why? What do you do to meet women?

I don't really meet women that often. The other weekend I went to a party and met a girl there, and connected with her a bit, but that was out of the ordinary for me, and I was high. Mostly I meet women at longboarding functions actually. If I can work up the courage to talk to a girl, and if she's pretty outgoing so it doesn't get too awkward, I feel like I connect pretty decently. If the girl is shy though, it's not so good because that's two shy people trying to find stuff to talk about and it's uncomfortable and just crappy.
I've also got accounts on okcupid and plentyoffish, but I've not met many people from there in person, which is for the best, I think.


6) Describe the the relationships of the people around you. Are they married, in serious relationships, single?

Most of my friends that actually live nearby are single. I have a ton of American friends who are Church of Christ Christians though, and it seems like they're all in serious relationships and/or engaged, or married.


7) You answered this but do you consider yourself happy? Do you think a relationship will make you happy?

I think I'm relatively happy. And yes, I feel like a relationship would make me happier. I don't see how a good relationship could NOT make a person happier. And sure, maybe if I got into a relationship it wouldn't be so good, but at least I would have a chance to work on my relationship skills (I haven't had much opportunity to do that in the past).


8) Why should a woman want to date you?

I'm not totally sure I get this question. The words "should" and "want" are not meant to be used together, if you ask me. I'm assuming this is a "What do you have to offer?" kind of question, so I will answer it as if it is.

I'm kind, thoughtful, kinda funny, I'm a good listener and I'm pretty good at helping people with their problems, I have a pretty relaxed attitude in general and I think people find that refreshing/calming, I have a decent head on my shoulders, and I dunno, if a girl likes me and has a lot in common with me, why shouldn't she date me?



And Clodfobble, I don't know if I feel I deserve a girlfriend. I suppose I don't really see any reason why I shouldn't be able to get into a relationship with someone, once a good match comes along?
And yeah, I guess there is a particular woman that I'm interested in, but it's ...complicated. I definitely wouldn't be willing to date just anyone. I know what I'm looking for, more or less.
