Describe yourself in 3 words: Compassionate, Confident, Classic
Ideal girl: My ideal girl would be confident and ambitious – more so than myself. She would be someone who wants to take on the world while holding my hand. That said, she would also be subtle and supportive. She would do little things just to show that she cares and wants the best for me. Mutual respect is key.
First date moves: When it comes to dating, I’m pretty much a traditionalist. That… And consider myself a connoisseur of good food. I love to take women out for a delicious meal prepared just for us. If I really like you, I’ll even cook.
Dream job: I have always dreamed of being a speechwriter. I’m inspired by the raw power of oratory and the diversity of language. I would love to be able to bring people their feet using only words.
Guilty pleasure: This summer, a friend convinced me to read Fifty Shades of Grey while I was in Seattle… I didn’t hate it.
Pet peeves: Loud chewing, clothes that don’t match, wife beaters.
Hobbies and interests: Right now I’m a TA for “Politics in the US,” the Commodore of the
AU Sailing team, and an intern at the US Senate. I love to sail, golf, row, and read books. My favorite authors are Charles Dickens and Edgar Allan Poe.
