About me: First off, I am a single dad so I spend most of my free time raising my daughter (she is 8). I enjoy the outdoors and go snorkeling frequently. Advanced Scuba certified last year and love to dive. I live on Okinawa until June, which is a fantastic place to live, then moving to Whidbey Island. I lived in England for three years prior to my move to Okinawa. I am a great cook and love to have friends over for dinner parties. I bake pies and cakes for a local cafe in my spare time. I am currently learning Japanese. I can read hirigana and katakana, and some kanji. I value honesty above most things and have a tendency to be too honest. I am currently working on changing that "few extra pounds" to "average". What I look for: Someone who doesn't mind a single dad. Loves music of all kinds. Willing to try new things! Someone who can hold a good conversation someone who doesn't mind a gentleman who will open doors, buy you flowers randomly and surprise you with thoughtful gifts and stuff like that. ( I usually get told I am to nice ) I have been pretty much around the world, so someone who enjoys traveling as much as I do would be awesome. Currently on the to explore list is Thailand, Singapore, China, Australia, and more of mainland Japan. Playing video games and/or the ability to kick my in them would be nice!
