I think what I am really looking for here is a friends first and then maybe a relationship. Someone who wants to go at a snails pace with me. About my life, I am currently in school and working part time. I have not had much time for hobbies the past year because of school and work but I hope to be able to get back to the gym, hiking, exploring the bay area and playing with my sweet blind little poodle.

I would say I was a balanced person, I am considerate, caring and giving. I have my fault too, I can be bossy, difficult to please and critical. I do try to work on my faults and feel open communication can help. People I will not date: not marriage minded, still living his teens years, if you do not have a career (hint a career vs. a job is very different), if you put your work over your loved ones, or if you have the need to dominate or control your partner.
What I like: smart, humorous, accepting, family oriented, dedicated, and affectionate. Physically I am not so picky, good dental hygenie is important, well groomed, active, and believes in taking care of his body.
