North Mankato's Local Dating Service

I'm no one. Don't pay attention to me. I'll just be sitting here in the corner writing or reading, playing an occasional video game. Maybe think about anime and manga. Just be my nerdy self.
I am honestly a humble guy trying to get by. I'm not going to try and pretend to be perfect. I'm just going to be honest and hope that you find something attractive here that might invite you to say "hello".

There's not too much to me. I suppose my music interests are rather broad, though I mostly listen to metal, underground rap, and a bit of techno. I usually work, but I occasionally go out to a party here and there. Most of the people I hang out with seem to think I'm funnier than I do, buuuutttt....I don't know, I guess that may or may not be true. Some may call me a nerd, as I am knowledgeable about nerd things, such as video games, computers, and a few other things. Oh, and I am, by not means, politically correct. Just throwing that out there.

Um...I enjoy having a good time, sometimes in the usual sense as others, other times not exactly in the traditional sense. Sure, I like to go out occasionally, but that is dependent on my mood. Which may or may not sounds girly, but whatever. I don't really even care how it sounds. Sometimes I'm just in a lazy mood and want to stay in and watch a movie or some such nonsense. Whatever I'm doing, though, I try to have a good time doing it (though sometimes at work that's just a might bit too difficult.)

I am an easy going person and easy to get along with. Family and friends are an important part of my life. I am for the most part willing to try new things and I love meeting new people. I am new to this online dating thing but am willing to try it out. I love traveling and would like to one day travel to each of the 50 states.

I am 21 years old, going to to school in Mankato. I am a very committed WELS Lutheran. My faith is very important to me. I tend to be on the shy side until I get to know people....but once I get to know them (and if I like them!!) I am able to relax. Which might make this whole thing kind of dumb for me....I'm not really good at initiating conversations. Oh well. I work part time, usually a night shift....which isn't too bad, because they let me sleep. :)
I guess I'm on this site to try a new way in looking for that special someone, but that isn't soley the reason, as I'm also looking to maybe make friends/aquaintences.
I hate computers...well not really, but I'm pretty sure they hate me. Actually, all technology. whatever. I love books, and have worked in a library since I was 16. Best place in the world. Ever.
I'm also a bit of a music buff. I like listening to good music, and I play trumpet in my school band.
As I said, I'm a bit shy, and I really don't like crowds/crowded areas. To be honest, the worst thing ever for me would be going to a party with a ton of people and really loud music.
I enjoy going out with friends and getting a drink, but have never gotten "wasted" and don't plan on it ever happening. Or on doing drugs. Or smoking.
I like to go work out, go for walks (especially in a woods or something). Not really intensly, but I enjoy it.
I hate hate hate drama. Drives me nuts. And I was raised with and like the chivaltry. I hold doors open for other people, and like/almost expect others to do the same.

First off, my name is Travis.
I hope to one day get married, have kids, have a nice home, and whatever else happens on the way to those points are just fun stuff. In my free time, I usually am found playing video games :), WoW or Super Mario Bro's for Wii. During the winter I usually don't do too much, during the summer I like to golf, play tennis, basketball, swimming.
I also like to go out, play pool, have some drinks, play board games etc.

Im a freshman at MNSU. I plan to go to med school to become a surgen! My family is in St. Paul and i lived there all my life. I like minnesota but i dont think i would like to spend the rest of my life here. I love to travel and have been to Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Mexico, Hawaii, Colorado and i want to explore the rest of the world! I really love music and going to shows.

Hey! I love the outdoors, camping, hunting, four wheeling, snowmobiling, hiking. I have Epilesy but I take meds for it.

honestly... im not a fan of self summaries...if/when i get in the mood to write one... then i will. but for now... just ask questions = one thing i will make very abundantly clear.. you ask me for phone sex... nude pics... anything like that... for one... you are a sad, shallow individual... get a life.... and for two... i am not just a party favor and wont tolerated being treated as such.

Just a person living life, working, and raising my boys to be good people while trying to better person today than I was yesterday. I work full-time nights as a nurse so my spare time is usually spent with my boys sometimes showing them the awesome things that are around us...history ya know.
I also enjoy watching most sports...well except golf, can play it but just not so crazy about it on TV. Football is a must as well as basketball..baseball if I have someone to watch it with. So far my best sports watchin partner is my youngest lol, he will yell at the TV with me since he has no clue what is going on yet. All that matters to him is that at sports time outdoor voice is ok.

Hey,

My Personality Is Best Described By these words:open, rash, irritable, likes large parties, low self control,heart over mind, does not respect authority, dependent, not rule conscious,suspicious, not careful, outgoing, vain, compassionate, aggressive, likes to make fun, hates to lose.

What Attracts Me: You are especially drawn to strong or athletic men and "macho" types; and have an even more aggressive inner "warrior woman" who loves action, competition, and challenges - perhaps even a good fight now and then. The type of man who attracts you is brash and bold, daring and direct, and has a sense of adventure. You may be drawn to "macho" types or men in uniform - military or police, etc. - and to even "dangerous" men. You seek competition and challenges... so you like men who are "hard to get".

I like watching the news, drinking coffee, and having good conversation. My best qualities are honesty, compassion, good communication and conflict resolution skills, and I have a really good sense of humor. I would like to meet the girl next door type.

Hi! I am a hunter of peace who is chasing the mayfly known as love! (Always wanted to say that) But seriously. I like to relax with a good movie, or just hang out. I love being outside; walking, driving around aimlessly, bumbling... (I've been waiting for a chance to use that word) I also have an interest in exploring. I get a thrill out of being somewhere I've never been before, or seeing something new at a place I've already been. I can be quite, but it doesn't really mean that I'm shy or uninterested. Well, maybe a little shy. I'll cut this short before it turns into an essay! I say, that what you say...is what I say. (Cause it rhymes with essay... Moving on!)

am an easygoing friendly person who likes all kinds of people as long as they are nice. :) I love sports and will watch and play pretty much any of them. I generally play tennis and basketball with friends. I also enjoy playing video games, yeah I know most guys do but I can't hide my passion for them! Rollerblading and reading I enjoy also. I try to live life to it's fullest but not too extreme, I am more into taking it all in at a slow pace, I think it helps you take it in better. I am also a proud father of a 4 year old girl. She means a lot to me, and has really opened up my eyes to the world. Kids are such idealists. Well that's about it, if you would like to know more just ask. I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm 6'0" 175lbs with short light brown hair, trimmed goatee, and blue eyes.

I am very down to earth, intelligent, non-judgmental, caring, fun, athletic, and I have a GREAT sense of humor.

I like hanging out with people with a good sense of humor that have fun no matter what they are doing or who they are with. I am extremely easy going except I do have one major pet peeve. People who are text messaging addicts! Please stay away, thank you!

I'm a nerd. I like sci-fi, fantasy, videogames, anime, etc. I really enjoy reading, and I write some as well. I like to draw, but I'm not great at that.

I'm shy, but I like to talk. I try to be polite, and I'm quite patient, but I don't like inconsiderate people, and I get easily frustrated with them.

I like philosophy, science, art, and learning about foreign cultures

Hey! I'm Shannon. I'm 18 years old and a freshman in college in Minnesota. I am really outgoing and I love hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I LOVE watching/playing almost every sport there is. Football, baseball, basketball, SOCCER, hockey, volleyball, everything. I probably know more about football then most boys. ;) I love music. I play the guitar, a little piano, drums, trumpet, and french horn. I also write lyrics and sing. I also love photography! I have a really nice camera! :) I am a great listener and I am old fashioned. I'm also romantic. Also, I'm a firm believer in Jesus Christ. If you wanna know more just ask! :)

I'm not in the mood to write an essay about myself, so here is a list. Things I like... -Black Metal -Philosophy -The Pogues (if you don't know what I'm talking about you're lame) -movies (Lost in Translation, Rushmore, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.) -Theology -Kierkegaard -mandolin

i love to go out and eat, shopping, movies, hang out, go to concerts, plays, sporting events

Come across this quote from Marilyn Monroe... "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ... It's the last sentence I believe u need to remember by far.
Hi! Thanx much for clicking on my profile. As u can tell I'm in a wheelchair results from a car accident(hence the screen name. There are many different sides to me and just wanted to be straight up with this information and see what deep dark secrets everyone else has...teasing
I like going to concerts, playing cards & boardgames, lifting weights, aerobics, football, getting out and enjoying (more the summer activities..it's my favorite season since I'm a bit of a freeze baby), love to eat especially things that r sweet or with tons of cheese melted..any gourmet chefs out there?..hee hee I have 2 cats..they keep things quite interesting. My personality is a bit off the wall, I like to joke around..definitely can laugh at myself..humor is a very sexy and appreciated quality to have especially sarcastic..to a point. FEEL FREE TO ASK questions (please be legit asking I think I need to now add..getting a bunch of wack questions)!!!I just might answer!

I'm Rachel, I'm a hippie. Yep, I'm one of "those" people. Scary huh? Anyway, I'm a really random person, there is almost no filter between my brain and my mouth. I also like change....such as rearranging my apt in one night.

Hello :) I'm Erin. I find it really difficult to write self-summaries, haha....I guess that says something about me? I'm currently in my first year of grad school for my Masters in Social Work. It's pretty demanding, but it's going well so far. At this point in my life, grad school and working towards becoming a social worker are big priorities for me. I've set goals for myself and I am determined to accomplish them. Ideally, I'd love to have a job that allows me to help people and connect them to the resources they need in order to be successful.

I also work at a group home with ladies with disabilities. I love my job & the ladies I work with. Between work & homework, I don't have tons of free time, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends/roommates/family, going to concerts/checking out live music, watching movies, sleeping, shopping, doing artsy crafty things, attending sporting events, going out, cooking, reading...I'm up for pretty much whatever.

I'm a pretty shy person until you get to know me, but I consider my sarcasm to be one of my gifts to the world, haha :) I have a great personality once I open up to you. I'm pretty random, but am always up for a good conversation. I have pretty strong beliefs, but I love debating and learning more about other's viewpoints. I'm also a really caring person who would do anything for my family & friends.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for on this site, just basically looking around to see who's out there and make new friends. Mankato gets pretty small, so it's nice to see some new faces :)

I also love quotes/lyrics, roadtrips, politics (the lefty kind), daisies, the MN Twins, rockstar parking, sleeping in, autumn, long island iced teas...

A little about me. I work in the travel industry. My hobbies include going to concerts, reading, and mostly recently cooking. I like rock and metal music. I like comedy, action and horror movies. I would like to meet men who are interested in dating or having a relationship.

NOTE:

I will be gone for basic training and AIT for the Army Reserve until Mid August. If you message me I will not be able to respond until then so don't feel bad :)

I am a shy guy looking for someone to have fun with. I hate bars bacause I can never work up the currage to go and talk to someone. I am tired of being alone and want a companion to go out and experiance life with.

I lead a pretty intense lifestyle and am always up for something new to try. I love spending time outdoors fishing,camping,hiking. I like to cook. I am a farm boy and agriculture is a huge part of my life. Music runs in my blood I sing,play the sax,and compose.I have way to many things that i enjoy so there i rarely get bored!I like storm chasing!! I like photography and normally have my camera with on my adventures! I enjoy getting to spots that have never been visited before!!I like to sleep under the stars in the summer time even during thunderstorms!I like going to rodeos and concerts.

Right now I'm basically living life by the day. I'm currently enrolled in college and casually completing it as my life develops. I focus on school, but I also focus on keeping content. I tend to be pretty spontaneous - going anywhere as I please. I can also be content with sitting at home... I grew up as a nerd, but now I'm pretty laid-back and like any type of person who can hold a decent conversation and isn't missing their frontal lobe. I'll often spend days pondering about some of the finer theories of life.. philosophy is a soft spot for me. I enjoy drinking. I enjoy partying. Movies are great entertainment. Music is a huge part of my life. Currently my poisons are Metal and Techno. Children of Bodom and Benny Benassi, respectively. I like to keep close to friends. My humor is off the wall, and you would probably notice instantly (aka I'm a huge dork.. or so I'm told). I basically just want to have a great time, where ever I may be.

Hey whats up, i like to hang with friends, watch movies. go out to eat..but also stay in once in a while is always nice. Reliable and easy to get along with. Always looking for fun. I am a senior in college . If you want to know more don't be afraid to ask :)

I like Music, art (abstract: watercolor, acrylic, oil pastel, etc.), graphic design, photography (nature), writing (poetry) and short stories. Psychology and social issues. Human sexuality. Politics. Nutrition. I am into women's rights, environmental rights, human rights equal rights, etc. I am a very liberal person and very open-minded.

I am currently for the most part a vegetarian, slowly but surely cutting fish out of my diet. Hopefully someday I will be vegan.

I consider myself a feminist, but I do love men and women equally. I am really into activism and just for rights of others. I consider myself an environmentalist and someone who appreciates nature. I love the outdoors and love taking nature photography or anything that strikes me as interesting. I enjoy going on walks, working out (cardio and weight lifting). I like dancing.

I love Music from the 60s, 70s, some 80's, 90s and today.

I enjoy Coffee shops, plays, helping others, people, babies, animals, sexuality, politics, real crime stories, movies, nature, books, walks, acoustic guitars, spirituality, exercising, etc.

I love cooking. I find it to be enjoyable. I like to try new recipes or experiment in the kitchen.

I am sorry - I am done with games.

Well, I'm brand new to online dating, but hoping everything goes well. I moved to Mankato about three and a half years ago. I'm a very goal-oriented person, and pretty much use them to get me through the the everyday norms. I am a very avid sports fan. I love both the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. I am also big into golfing. I play every chance I get during the months that the weather will allow. I'm also in love with the ocean. Every vacation I go on, involves warm weather, and the ocean.

My name is Dave, I'm a student at MSU and an all around nice guy. I could be considered a nerd, but not in DnD/WoW kinda way, more in a I can fix computers and love to fill my mind with useless knowledge way. I LOVE music, and play a few instruments, mainly guitar.

I am a shy girl at first but once I open up I like to go out and have a lot of fun. I love ridin' on the back of my man's motorcycle and going wherever the road takes us. I love listening to bands and live music. I am very down to earth with a great sense of humor. I love meeting new people and am very easy to get along with. I like to share my own and my partner's interests.
I am looking for someone who is honest, has a great sense of humor, and must be able to communicate what is on his mind. If you like to go out that is fine or if you like to stay home that is just fine also!

Regarding Age:
Age

There's an interesting quick self test anybody can do to see one measure of their RELATIVE age. With your index finger and thumb, lift up some skin from the back of your other hand. This skin you're holding should go up about half an inch above the back of that hand. Hold that skin tightly between your thumb and finger for 30 seconds. Then suddenly let go. The faster that skin returns to "flat" on the back of the hand, the less "rusted/oxidized" a person is. My soft skin snaps right back to flat.

I took the "What's your real age?" online survey. The result came out at age 45. If a person figured the survey creator may fudge by 10 years to make the test taker feel better, then that would peg "my real age" at 55.

I live in a town where there are no traffic jams, and yet there are large city choices for shopping, eating (116 local restaurants), entertainment, and education (4 colleges/universities). A person can get to most any place in town in 6 to 12 minutes, any time of the day.

A lot of women say they want a guy with a sense of humor. Iâ??ve collected over 600 pages of gentle jokes. example:

A couple had been married 30 years and also celebrated their 60th birthdays. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each. The wife's wish was to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand, and boom! She had tickets in her hand! Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."
The fairy picked up her wand and boom! He was 90!!

Note: I have a web cam to help bridge distances.

I think im fun and laid back. Im a senior in college and work part time, I love watching baseball and softball and going shopping. Im freshly 21 so I love going out down town and having fun with friends but am fine staying in and watching a movie or something. The best times i have are hanging out with friends and just having fun. Everyone says im hilarious but i say what i mean and mean what i say (I dont sugar coat things :)

I just graduate from college in December with my BS in Business Management. I am a very driven person and someone firm on my beliefs in life. I am a nice person looking to meet nice people as well. In my free time I love to play cards, read books, bowl and watch Reality TV. I know that some people may not like reality TV but some days you just need those non thinking shows. When I am not working I enjoy going out with friends or just kick it at home watching a movie and eating pizza. If you don't like to have fun then you can just move on.

I have a full time job in retail that I can say I absolutely do not love at all. I wait on people every single day and listen to pretty much every complaint they have. It gets to be a little routine but it pays the bills somewhat but not a lot). Retail has its good days and its bad days. I feel that you need to have a really strong backbone to deal with customers. If you don't have the guts to stand up for what you believe in then it is more than likely not a good idea to message me.

I like to spend time outside when it is nice out and I have recently gotten into learning how to take a good picture. I am not good at taking pictures yet but hope to one day get better. I also scrapbook when I get the chance. I am currently working on a project for my sister and hope to get it done before she graduates but we shall see.

My dream vacation would be to go to Hawaii and lay on the beaches with a good book. My other favorite place to go is Myrtle Beach. I have been there once and am waiting to go back there again someday with that special someone. I am not a good swimmer but can hold myself a float when I need to.

I listen to pretty much any kind of music so whatever your favorite is I will more than likely like it. I really enjoy going to concerts also. My favorite one that I have been to is Maroon 5. My friend and I had 6th row seats. I will be going to the Fleetwood Mac Concert soon and am pretty sure that that will be one worth spending money on. I think that the one concert that I cannot wait to see is Bon Jovi. If you are a Bon Jovi fan like me let me know because that is a huge plus in my book.

I love to read in my spare time. My book taste is the same as my music tastes anything that I can get my hands on is ok with me. If you haven't read a book since high school I would suggest picking one up and expanding your brain.

ok so this tite wants me to keep expanding my profile and I have no i dea how.

Hello my name is Alesha. I love spending time with my family and friends. I have a blast hanging with my roommates.

I love to fish and camp. When I went to florida this past spring I Kiyaked and I loved it. I like going to live concerts.

Hi, I'm Zachariah. I'm a Christian, first and foremost. But I'm also a poet, a musician, and a gamer.

Oh, and did I mention I'm awesome?

I like Theology and Religion.

Role Playing

Video Games

The net.

Music
(I also found that I really enjoy singing...).

I am 1/4 Norwegian, 1/4 German and 1/2 Mystery!

I enjoy shopping, jigsaw puzzles and kittens. I love seeing live music and theatre. I don't really follow sports and I don't like the taste of beer, I prefer fruity mixed drinks. Please also note that I am not gay (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

My interests include 14th century politics, bass solos, mustard and mayonnaise in the same jar, nature and the year 1989.

OkCupid tells me I need to add more to this but what more could there possibly be? If it's too long nobody is going to bother reading it.

I feel friendless for the first time in my life. I have lots of friends but I moved away from them to pursue goals and I rarely get to see them. I'm really into theology, sports, science fiction, politics, cooking and music.

i cant spell enjoy the errors .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................but seriously...my name is sara, and i am going to college, i live with one of my good friends, and i live life how it happens...

Laid back and hard working man looking for something away from the college scene. Tired of the same ol' little girl drama. Ready to start a new phase in my life with a woman I can share my life with. Love to go out but still home is where my heart is. I am a movie fanatic, guitar player and writer. Very creative and hilarious. I work full-time and really need to meet new people away from work and not at the bars. Still I enjoy a good party from time to time.

Very strong in my standards and know what I want out of a relationship. Hopeless romantic, loyal and caring. I wear my heart on my sleeve and am a great conversationalist. My interests are many and my understanding of life is great. Looking for the missing piece to life's puzzle.

I am not really sure about all of this online dating stuff, but my real world dating has not provided me with quality results, so it is time I try something new. I decided on this site because it doesn't feel like a site full of fake people and it doesn't charge some ridiculous price just to contact a person.

I am not interested in one night stands, a booty call, nor a friend with benefits; rather I am only interested in being in a committed relationship with one person who also values being in a monogamous relationship.

I have many interests, if you want to know more about me, just ask.

From My Facebook Profile:
I am a very political person. I can debate with the best of them and am willing to listen to anybody's opinions or ideas. I hope to see some real changes in the political systems that makes the people more involved.

I also am deeply into music. I really think that if I did not have music, I would go insane. I have a huge list of MP3s and listen to a large variety. My favorite radio stations are RadioFG (Paris), P3 Street and P3 Star (Sweden), DR Ghetto (Denmark), and 770 Radio K (Minneapolis).

I enjoy a good movie. I am a big fan of Netflix because it has shown me many movies that I would have never considered watching before. I enjoy anything from comedies to foreign films.

I enjoy meeting new people and can talk about almost anything. Get to know me, you might like me!

I like Politics, theater, movies, music, conspiracy theories, revolution, computers, networks, Linux, windows, web development, web hosting, programming, technology, mobile phones, SMS, history, cultures, societies, science, biology, the universe.

I'm easy going, a nice guy with a big heart. I'm artistic, poetic, and have my talents but am strong enough as a person to admit my flaws. I pride myself in being genuine and honest in a world that has a lot of people who aren't. I'm 26 and trapped in the body of someone who looks like 18, haha. I am a bit of a hopeless romantic and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I am an art lover as well as an artist. Oh and I guess a bit of a poet, but hey...aren't we all? Haha I love to laugh and if I can make you laugh too...it's my pleasure. Haha. I am who I am, I am strong, beautiful and resilient. I am marching to the beat of my own drum...sometimes it is hard to keep up with. I am often random, I love to laugh, and try not to always take life too seriously

I live: Life is up to you ENTIRELY. If you want something to happen , make it so. Call your own shots and abide by your own rules. If you choose to play the game, play the game on your terms. Remember in the greater scheme of life, if you walk your walk and talk your talk then you are always on home turf. I love: People come and go in life. The only one person that you have to love is yourself. In the end, as your last breath escapes, and the rush of memories culminates, the only one that will be there is you. If you love yourself, all else will fall into place. Your strength and substance will provide the character that others desire to be around. Love them as well. Love those who wrong you, they provide you with strength to fight for right. Love those who do right by you, they provide you with a basis to fight for right. Love those who have not come into their own, they are fighting the same battles that everyone else must face each day. Only love will give you the strength to carry on. I learn: A lesson a day will keep the ignorance away. Always hear what others have to say. Find the lesson, adjust it for your life, and apply it to others. Tomorrow will always come. Why not be wiser?

Just a guy looking for a nice lady to spend time with. I like the outdoors
love to fish and garden also love to cook or just hanging out at home watching tv and cuddling by the fire or going for a walk in the evening.

To start, I am a college student living in the Mankato, MN area. I'm from a loving, middle-class family that works hard and has instilled me with more than I could ever ask for. I spent all my childhood going to parochial school. I have a strong religious background, but I'm politically moderate and fairly open-minded, though I retain some traditional ideals. I believe in all things there should be compassion and empathy, and that everyone should follow the Golden Rule.

As for my interests, I have many! My primary passion in life is art. I love to draw and paint, and have studied it for a few years. I also love to appreciate and learn about art; one day I hope to travel to Italy to take in all its amazing goodness. The coolest painting I have ever seen in person is The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault. My favorite painter is William Bouguereau, and Bernini is my favorite sculptor.

A hobby I indulge in is playing video games. My range is somewhat limited. I mostly indulge in Nintendo games. I have a lot of consoles, but my favorite is still my first: SNES. My favorite series include Metroid, Zelda, Smash Bros., Silent Hill, Harvest Moon, Pokemon, Trauma Center, and the Ace Attorney series. I have a pink Nintendo DS that is always in my bag. I'm fairly awful at shooters, but I'll play if it's a group thing.

I love fashion...not high-end fashion (though I can admire it, I cannot afford it. Ha) but creating a unique style. I love to mix different accessories and looks to make my own. I don't stick to any one type either. Depending on my mood, I can be playful and childish, or sophisticated and elegant, or anything in between! There's too many facets of me to not show it on the outside. I like to look everywhere from Japanese street fashion to Victorian ideals for inspiration.

I'm very much a literary person. I learned to read at age three and I've been devouring books ever since. I love learning in general and I'm a fairly tough cookie to beat at Trivial Pursuit, if you get the chance to face me. I believe it's important to know something about the world around us, if only to understand it better. I like to write short stories and poetry. A good poem captures a book worth of emotion in its verses.

Personality-wise, I can be slightly shy when first meeting someone. Occasionally, I will have a streak of boldness. When I become friends with someone, however, I am very loyal. My friends have been the glue that holds me together in the past few years, and I wouldn't leave 'em for all the money in the world. I'm fairly sweet and loving, to the point of fault sometimes. If I adore someone, I let them know it. I love hugs and kisses and I am very physically affectionate. I am, however, picky about romantic interests. Physical attraction isn't the only factor in a relationship, but it's still an important one to me. I'll be friends with anyone, but it takes standards to take me on a date.

Hi I am a guy who is working on his two year degree at South Central College in Business and plan on continuing my education at Minnesota State to receive a four year degree. I am a person who loves sports. My teams are The Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings. I do participate in both fantasy sports in both baseball and football. Another one of my hobbies is movies. I don't care if it is watching them at home or in the theaters. If you want to know more just ask. :)

okay well here it goes,
I am a big kid at heart. I love to hangout with my friends and go out and enjoy the night or stay in and play Heroes.

I find everything to be very peaceful really late at night or early in the morning; how ever you want to look at it. I love to listen to how your day went(no matter how boring it was) or how bad work was.

I enjoy movies of all kinds, I play a lot of different games that I just canâ??t get enough of. (They are not all just video games).

I have an overactive imagination that is my younger side....and that is really my only flaw, or so I believe. I enjoy writing even if I am not the best with English grammar rules. I find a kind of peace when I write, that I didn't know existed.

I also have started to read a lot more and find that I am truly starting to enjoy it.

I like to laugh and learn about things that I think are interesting. I tend to not take things too seriously, but in this stage of my life there really is no reason to and I'm just focusing on having fun and finding out what I like. I also smoke cannabis sometimes but if it's a big deal to someone I'm interested in I don't have to do it. I'm not a druggie or anything like that. I'm a laid-back small-town kind of guy. I'm very nice and have no idea what these "games" are that some of these girls talk about not wanting to play.

I am a sister, daughter, and one proud auntie. My siblings mean the world to me and I would do anything for them. School is a big priority in my life right now, even though I wish I could be done. I need music to remain sane. I love to travel and wish I had enough money to go everywhere that I want to go. I work at a coffee shop, and therefore am addicted to coffee.

I recently moved to the country, which I love but am in search of companionship with a reader and thinker who has a sense of humor and loves nature. My job requires a lot of contact with people but not many close friends nearby. I love my work and am very dedicated but need fun time with friends. When my niece stayed with me last summer, it was great and frustrating at the same time (she was 13 at the time!) - The daily contact we had taught me a lot about life and living and I am would like to have more permanent folks in my life

Let's see... a little bit about myself. I love hanging out with my friends and family. I have an older brother who has 2 kids under 3. I love spending time with them! But it's nice to be able to hand them back to mom and dad at the end of the day!
I currently am working full time as a secretary/acct admin, and also have a part time job, that I can't seem to let go. When I'm not working, I'm usually meeting up with friends either out for a cocktail & game of darts, or just hanging out! I love being outdoors if the weather is nice. I've been trying to get a group to go up to Boundary Waters (I haven't gone since I was a kid). I love it up there! Other than camping, I like boating, canoeing, hiking, fishing, bonfires, playing softball, traveling, thrill rides (I love roller coasters!), along with any kind of game! Be it card games, board games, or bar games... I love them all! I'm competitive, but don't get bent out of shape if I lose. Though I'll always ask for a re-match! :)
On the not so nice days, I do enjoy laying around and watching the shows I've recorded, or a movie. I also try to find time to go to the gym. I found that it works best to read while I'm working out. It seems odd, but it makes the time go very quickly. Plus, I fall asleep when I try reading at night :)

I enjoy going to sporting events or playing sports. I like going out, going to movies, and traveling when I have time. I also like going to Twins, Vikings, Wild, and Gopher Hockey games. I can cook pretty good, I really enjoy using my grill all year around. Hanging out with friends is something you may also finding me doing from time to time.

I am kinda private with a taint of suspicious...you do the talking and i will do the analyzing of what ure conveying...Intellectuals are great but many need to realize that there are limits...

I never know what to say on these things....some people are explicit and long winded but sharing great things...so what should I say...Well, I am an all around nice person...I have to put others first without being a pansy...I listen to those greats who have come before us and try to follow their selfless paths...but I am not much of a hippy...I mean I'm like 25 percent muffy - I think...Ditzy - no - but just friggin out there...I guess I shouldn't say that about Kerry

I'm 6'2 220, with a good build, brown hair, couple tats. I love to be outside at night, be with friends and just enjoying life and living it to the fullest. Love riding with motorcycle and doing things with my cars. I love music, always listening to it or going to concerts or singing karaoke. I'm just a good guy with great values, i will work hard for things i want and i will stand by anyone who has treated me good. I can be very friendly, but if i don't like you, it will show because i'm not two faced or fake to anyone. I will be so honest it can be brutal at times but i personlly don't like information sugar coated and that is how i want it so that's how i give it. Lying, dishonesty, and being unloyal are big problems in my eyes. Also if you are lazy, don't like to work, sure doesn't work for me. When i'm at home for the summer, i work 3 jobs about 80 hours a week. Don't expect someone to match, but i don't want someone who can settle either. I love to have fun and i know how to treat people.

I'm a graduate student and teacher around the Mankato area. I'm self sufficient, mature, and over worked. I'm not much of a dreamer, but I'm very ambitious.

And unlike most people on OKcupid, I actually don't mind being single.

I have a tendency to be a deep thinker. I read a lot and I write performance poetry.

I also consider myself a massive nerd. I love RPGs, old school Marios, and FPS.

I love to go out dancing. Ultimately, I want a guy who isn't done with his bar days, because I'm still very much in the go out and dance at a party phase of my life.

i am very goal orientated and self motivated.i am someone that goes after what he wants no matter how hard it may seem. i take pride in being a good family person who was raised great and knows about respecting others..i have a very charming personality and stand up for what i believe in. I am very independent, as far as relationships i am not someone that pushes the issue. i prefer to take things slow and get to know each other. I am not someone scared of commitment, but i wont settle. I would rather be single and happy then with someone that is not meant for me.. I have no problem meeting people since i love to talk and i am not shy at all.others.. i am not someone that needs constant love and attention, i am affectionate but not a super pda type...

Iâ??m a very down to earth, open minded, optimistic, mature, somewhat smart, humble, honest, faithful 24 year old guy who has had experience with long term relationships just not with the right girl. And really all Iâ??m looking for is a girl who has a good head on her shoulders, faithful, honest, intelligent, strong minded, open minded, funny, someone who knows what they want in life and isnâ??t afraid to say what they feel, someone who has a big heart and knows that they can be with one person forever. Is that so much to ask??

I grew up in a small town in Minnesota, graduated hs in 03 then went to wyotech in beautiful Laramie Wyoming where I learned how to fix, paint, and customize cars, and motorcycles. And have been working with cars and bikes for the last 5 years.
I have an awesome dog named babe, Iâ??m a great listener, I donâ??t judge people until I get to know them, family and friends are very important to me, I see the past as the past and live for the future, I have slightly different views on religion than most people, I donâ??t have much faith in our government, I love going to concerts, I like to relax at home and just do relaxing things in general but also enjoy to party once and a while, I love nature and animals, thunderstorms especially. I defiantly like the convince of living in a bigger city but love a small town atmosphere and wide open country and mountains. I love to travel even though the farthest outside Minnesota Iâ??ve been is Colorado. I want to see the ocean, and so many other countries. I ran my own business for about a year then decided to go back to work for someone else due to a change in location but my ultimate goal is to get my own shit started again and find a good girl to settle down with in a big house and a little hell raiser runnin around.

You know these things are hard to write but live put down something, possibly said too much about somethingâ??s and not enough about others but lets keep some mystery in this yeah?,

I am passionate about all things art. I revel in the beautiful in life, am fascinated by the hideous and am particularly tickled when these two join. I like characters, irony, dark humor, absurdity, whimsy, nature, contradiction, intelligence, beauty and respect. I seek these things out in friends, music, books, movies and the reaches of my own imagination.

I am thoughtful, playful, kind, sarcastic and contradictory. I enjoy walking in the woods, going to the movies, talking in coffee shops, making lists, writing poetry, writing short stories, reading, making art and being silly.

Lets see- a typical freshmen history major is prolly some stay-at-home girl who never goes out but that is definatly not me.

My friends describe me as someone who is very loving and compassionate. I love the feeling you get when you help other people and i love being able to make someones day better by just talking to them.

I love spending time outdoors. I expesically love to go fishing. You could say that i am a country girl who grew up in the city. I also love to eat. I know this prolly sounds very bad but i have a big apetite for life. I have reliezed that we dont have that much time on this earth and i am looking for someone to spend it with.

My life has not been the easiest but with the love and support of my family i have made it through. I am looking for a guy who is compassionate and loving like me. Someone who loves to talk about anything, and doesnt care what we do just as long as were togeather.

well that's a little about me.

People think I'm a pretty regular guy, except for my megalomaniacal drive to conquer the world through Mad Science. In other words, I have a sense of humor. I like to read, cook, my roommates have pets who I play with more than them and I'm a huge geek. No seriously, you won't meet a bigger geek than me, unless you're looking.

I don't play video games, or watch television often because I'd rather interact with people. I enjoy walking for walking's sake. Inline-skating and biking are also a lot of fun.

I don't have a lot of knowledge regarding art but I know what I enjoy, and I can describe what I like. Knowing what constructive criticism is really helps too. I know what artistry means to me, and I'm not vain enough to expect anyone to agree 100% with it.
