Occupation: Autocad draftsman.

... on HIMSELF

Strengths: "My personality. I feel I'm well rounded. I enjoy many things. I feel that I have a lot of strengths and weaknesses but I think they balance out. I'm easy to talk to. I like a lot of different people. I'm funny, outgoing, loyal. I like to help others. I like making people feel comfortable in different situations."

Weaknesses: "I can be really shy in certain situations and sometimes I can be too outspoken. Sometimes I can be the chameleon and totally adapt and sometimes I can be the outcast."

Others may not see: "I set myself off from the outside sometimes. Sometimes, I'll just stay in and be myself. I try to do soul searching and find out what's going on, why something didn't work in my life. And I think the best way for me to do that is to have my alone time." 

I've been known to ... "read a person's personality very well after a brief encounter. I know when something's not going right."

Interests: "Painting, golf, outdoor activities, movies. I try to mimic Van Gogh as much as possible. There's a couple that are decent but for the most part I have to just paint. It's like an escape and sometimes it turns out good and sometimes it turns out like crap. I paint on canvas with acrylic paints. I paint nature, it's not exactly abstract but it's not actually real. It's kind of like a Tim Burton movie. I like all types of sports, watching and playing them. I like playing poker sometimes."

Turn ons: "Palm trees, when people laugh and smile, cool sunsets, the desert."

Turn Offs: "People who always have to be the center of attention, people who aren't kind to others, violence, traffic."

Special Talents: "I paint and write. I used to write poems and song lyrics and now I just write short stories."

Awards: "I've received many awards for athletics when I was younger. I've had a few writing awards."

Charities: "I have fed the homeless on occasion with an organization called Food on Foot in Venice.

My 15 Minutes: "I still have about fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds to go."

Travels: "United States and Mexico."

Spirituality: "I don't claim a religion but I know there is some sort of higher being who created this amazing world."

Fashion Sense: "I believe I have enough to get by but I might need some work. I am a jeans and T-shirt guy. I'm open to a woman giving me a little of her fashion tips."

Staying Healthy: "I run and lift weights and swim."

What touches my soul: "When a woman (or a man) trusts me enough to open up and tell me different things that they normally wouldn't have told anybody else." 

... on WOMEN 

I first notice ... "her eyes and her face. I like eyes that are alive and they are wanting me to talk to them. You can tell that sometimes just from the eyes. I like open faces that show you that they really want to open up to you."

A woman can get my attention ... "by coming up to me and saying hi!"

Ideal Woman: "Nice, kind, great personality, confident, nice eyes. I look for a lot of different traits in a woman, but I just can't explain that feeling I get when I know I'm in love, it's very special. I love when girls are not out there just to make me jealous. When I can be comfortable at home while they're gone and knowing that everything is fine. That's something that I really need. If I don't have that, I feel insecure about the relationship. It's important that she doesn't really let herself go, she doesn't have to necessarily be really active, but I don't want some girl who just lies around."

I can't resist a woman who ... "walks really sexy. If she sways her hips a little about or looks really great in whatever she's wearing, whether it's jeans or a skirt or a dress."

I show I care ... "by getting her flowers and cooking her dinner."

Most important quality in a woman: "Eyes and personality. Being comfortable with the person and being able to trust them, that's really important."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "Her style, if it is unique and makes her not part of the masses."

Ideal Date: "Dinner, walk on the beach, lots of talking, lots of time alone somewhere."

What makes me call a woman back after first date: "The way she looks at me throughout the evening. If she's really listening to me, she doesn't have to be listening to me intently but I don't want a girl to be out with me and just be like drifting away and looking at other things. I want her to be into me and if she's not, then I'll know that."

I would never date a woman who ... "gets high all the time."

I wish women understood ... "that we just have to agree that we're different."

One thing a woman has never done for me: "Take me on a surprise trip."

... on RELATIONSHIPS 

On marriage: "If I met the right woman, marriage is definitely the next step."

Top Relationship Keys: "Honesty and communication."

My last relationship ... what went wrong: "Lack of communication and a sense of neediness on my part and then on her part."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "honesty and somebody who is real. I try to treat them as much like a lady as possible. I always open the doors. I cook for them. I'm into give and take. I will give as much of me as they will take and I will take as much of them as they will give."

What I Expect: "I expect what I feel I give, kindness, honesty, communication."

When I'm in love, I ... "am fully captivated by her and I wear blinders. Of course, I notice that there's sexy people everywhere, but I don't look at them and lust after them if I'm in a relationship."

What makes me feel close to a woman: "When we communicate on an awesome level."

Greatest Relationship Lesson: "The moment you cheat the relationship is over, you never look at your partner the same again."

What makes a woman marriage material: "When I can communicate with her on all levels and I am attracted to her in all facets."

... on SEX 

I feel my sexiest when ... "I wear a suit."

Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "A thong or those underwear that look like really short shorts."

Sure fire way to seduce me: "Wear something sexy and reveal little by little when we're alone."

... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS

Movie: "Slingblade, Happy Gilmore, Carlito's Way, The Sixth Sense."

TV Show: "24."

Book: "Anything written by James Patterson."

Music: "Radiohead, Coldplay."

Food: "Hot wings and Super Nachos."

... on LIFE

Making My Mark: "I'm not sure yet, but I will definitely make a mark. On my headstone, I'd like for people to know from reading that, that I was a good person."

Responsibility to Society: "The Golden Rule always applies."

Valuable Life Lesson: "Be kind to people and don't anticipate situations because something always happens. I think if you jump ahead in life, you're going to be disappointed. If you anticipate something happening, it's probably going to happen. I think your mind is so powerful that you can anticipate a negative situation and since you're anticipating it then, yeah a negative situation is going to happen."

I must ... "see Europe, dive with sharks, have kids."

Best Advice Received: "Life is not a race, you can go at your own pace."

Best Advice I've Given a Woman: "Be true to yourself and do not sell yourself short, because you have so much to offer." Advice to my cousin."

... final THOUGHTS 

Pets: "Beta fish named Zenagain."

Always in my Refrigerator: "Pico Pica Hot Sauce."

Secret Fantasy: "It has something to do with a deserted island and not that much clothing."

I would like to change places for 24 hours with ... "Brad Pitt. That would be nice. I would just love to feel what somebody that rich and famous feels for 24 hours. Just having every woman lusting after him, all the money in the world, being able to go anywhere and do anything they want for that one day." 

I would most like to hang out with ... "Al Pacino. He's so intense. He's such a small guy but he's like four people inside him. He's so robust and outgoing. He seems like a really tip top person."

Celeb I'd like to take on a date: "Katie Holmes. She's the complete package. She's brunette, tall, she seems like she has a really cool personality and that she's down to earth."

Why I'm such a great catch: "I feel I have a great personality and am fun to be around. I can become the woman's best friend as well as her lover. I've got a lot of manliness but I also have that piece of femininity."

Me in a word: "Interesting."
