Michael

First, I'm a believer in Jesus. I'm increasingly inclined to believe that Jesus will come very soon; likely in my generation. Over the years, I've realized that when everything crumbles and falls, relationship with God is the only thing that remains. This I'm learning to prioritize, daily. I'm looking for a partner with a similar viewpoint.

I consider myself a somewhat old-fashioned, someone with a sense of humor, an introvert, who prefers a smaller company of friends over a large group. I like simplicity, e.g. I appreciate women's natural beauty over a makeup. I admire young people who cautiously avoid a universal social media addiction and the like. I'm not looking at money as the ends, but the means. I'm endowed with a somewhat curious mind. I'm a good listener, enjoying to ask questions, discussing things, learning new information, though my memory is desperately underperforming my curiosity.

In my free time you might find me doing anything ranging from reading a book, watching a documentary, visiting a friend, drawing, improvising on a piano, etc. to going to the gym, playing sports, mountain biking, backpacking, etc. I like exploring. My favorite activity is going out in nature to "reset" and one of my favorite memories is looking at the starry sky on the top of the mountain in the middle of nowhere.

In regards to relationship, I place a high premium on the verbal ability to communicate each other's needs/wants (no telepathy), transparency, faithfulness, being openminded and humble enough to admit mistakes and willing to change/grow, possessing inner fortitude to persevere, committed to have evening worship together (when possible), and the rare ability to daily keep the fire of the romantic, playful, and cheerful side of the relationship burning, be it a year after or 10 years.

I'm not perfect and neither I'm looking for a near-to-perfect companion, but if we are both committed to faith-oriented self-improvement and growth, I firmly believe that a "cord of three strands is not easily broken".
