Most important characteristics in a date or mate: I need a mate who is kind, respectful of my beliefs, and whom I find physically attractive.

Write a short sketch about yourself: I was raised by very kind, loving parents. I rebelled in my teenage and college
years but am glad that I reconciled as a sort of Prodigal Son. I have always loved history, literature and learning in general. I enjoy socializing with people, and I get along with individuals from all different backgrounds, yet I am also introverted and need quiet times. I tend to be politically conservative, yet I am a bit of a maverick who doesn't always follow any particular crowd. I am not a trendy sort of person, and sometimes imagine that maybe I was born in the wrong century.
