I'm Michael. I'm nearly 26 years old. I was in the Army for 3 years and served one of those years in Ba'Qubah, Iraq. I write, play guitar, and sing my own music in my spare time when I'm not on the internet, hanging with my awesome friends, or working at some crappy part-time job. I'm definitely a romantic, which seems to be a bad thing nowadays. Women seem to fall for slick sleazy braggarts, which are my exact opposite, so that's had me down and out for a bit and made me just a tinge cynical and bitter towards the whole search for love thing. Oh well... Anyways, I'd say that I'm quite mature in a lot of ways because of the past. I'm hoping to be a better man for some lucky, deserving girl. I'm not God's gift to women, but I'm confident that I'm God's gift to some lucky girl. I guess mebbe I just got lost in transit. I consider myself a gentleman. I love to make a girl feel as if she's the queen of the world if she's with me. I'm the type to pull out chairs, open car doors, run bubblebaths, do dishes, attempt to make dinner, and give mages, all because I want to. The right girl will bring it out in me. I'd love to meet a girl that can appreciate me for me and doesn't mind sticking it out with me in the bad times, a girl that wouldn't mind being seen with me in an ugly, rusty station wagon, because she's happy just being with me, and not concerned with status symbols and all that crap. If I can find a girl like that, then it'll make the good times that much better.
