What’s your biggest flaw? Managing my time and keeping track of things.

What’s the best thing about you? I like to think I’m funny. I have a knack for transforming awkward situations into something more enjoyable by cracking jokes and whatnot.

Life Motto: I love life.

What’s the first thing you notice about a girl? I’ve got a thing for redheads, so her hair. And then her physique, of course.

Favorite Food: PIZZA ROLLS

Three words to describe yourself: Optimistic, funny, and energetic

Turn Ons: I like a fit girl, a girl who has style (someone who can put herself together), a girl who can SANG and who is musically inclined. I also like girls who are outgoing and adventurous. Above all else, a girl who is honestly genuine and has wit is really attractive to me.

Turn Offs: Prissy, lazy girls. Girls who smoke cigs and clingy girls. I like some space.

Most random fact about you? I have a pet rat named Allie.

Favorite genre of music? Probably alternative, but the current song I have on repeat is Party Girls by Ludacris. I’m very open-ended in regards to music.

What’s your take on romance in a relationship? When I’m in a relationship, I like to think of myself as very romantic.

What motivates you? The possibilities of my future. I want to live a positive, happy life. I believe in the law of attraction.

Celebrity Crush? Emma Watson

Weird habits: I stretch in my sleep and I’m really bouncy. In high school, my nickname was Pogo Stick.

Favorite Movie: The Harry Potter Series

Spirit Animal: Monkey

Pet Peeve: When I’m hanging out with someone in person and they’re always on their phone.

Give me your best pick-up line, don’t act like you don’t have one! I would go up to girls and ask if I can take a picture with them so that I could show Santa what I want for Christmas.

Advice you have for college women: Be real, be genuine, be engaged when you’re talking to someone.

What can a girl do to get your attention? When a girl gives me “the look” and the smirk.

List off a couple things on your bucket list for me: I have to go on a hot air balloon and definitely a trip to the Eiffel Tower.

Why do you think you’re a catch? Don’t be shy now! Because I’ll pay attention to her needs, when I’m in a relationship or talking to a girl, I treat her right.
