Hey. My name's Ralf, and I just turned twenty-three. I'm currently a student at De Anza college and major in Marketing Management. I work in sales and love the nature of my career, because I enjoy meeting and learning about new people all the time. I'm of Filipino/Chinese descent, my height is 5'5", weight is 135 pounds. I have a slim build. I'm semi-athletic, love to play basketball, football, tennis, and soccer with my friends ("brothers"). I enjoy working on my fitness (strength and cardio) and do try to eat healthy. I have an affinity to Aikido, although I'm just a novice. Sometimes, I'm involved in friendly sparring. I'm a very positive person, resolved never to stress out about anything, and I believe that I will accomplish my goals. I'm not upset by aversive situations as easily. I may appear low-key and predictable, but I'll often be totally random, sometimes spontaneously deciding to do something just to have fun. However, I do think before and ask myself if my direction is responsible. I just believe that life should be enjoyed (this is a core value of mine). I also love long drives with friends and take the initiative to facilitate a fun, conversational atmosphere. When I'm alone, I love to turn the music up. In group discussions, I tend to be very involved, and I want others to join in also. I also enjoy having long one-on-one conversations and keep information in confidence, which is related to my value of mutual respect and consideration. I love playing board games, particularly Scrabble, Cranium, Taboo, among a few. I'm almost always excited when my friends suggest playing a board game. Lately, though, I've been playing more card games. My guy friends tend to play card games more; my girl friends tend to play board games more. Compeion gives me a high. Although not as much as before, I really enjoy staying up all night (sometimes until the early morning) talking on the phone having "real talk." I believe in relaxed, honest communication of thoughts and feelings, especially in a relationship. I don't always succeed when I'm made to read the other person's mind. I'm laid back when it comes to my emotions. I do very well with people emotionally composed people. I tend to have a slightly greater maturity level than many others my age. However, I can still get along with whiners and dramatic types. I believe this is probably due to my very positive outlook on life, so it's hard for me to lose my cool when something "upsetting" comes my way. I believe in failing forward. I would like to be friends with you while also getting to know if we would be a good match for each other. I just think that if we can treat each other well as friends, we would have a much better idea of how to treat each other as couple. What I mean is, the way I would try to get to know you is the same way I would if I were trying to make a friend. But my hope is for something greater. Trust, communication, and respect are important to me. I'm a values-oriented person. I hope that I'm coming off that way. I'm looking for a truly "nice" girl, who has no unnecessary hatred for humanity and resists negativity, who's resolved to have a good time in everything she does.
