My name is Cris. I like making friends on here.let me just warn you that my intro in a little long, but I will be very impressed by whoever takes the time to read it all!..lol.I have lived in the east bay for most of my life but I want to do more traveling one day and check out other areas of the country and parts of the world. I'm single right now, I guess you can say that it's by choice. i have my reasons just like everyone else who is single does. I'm a real good friend to people who want to be friends with me. Most people, when they first meet me, would say I am a bit quiet. i'm usually just listening to what they have to say. once they get to know me more they see that I am just goofy and silly for the most part.i like to laugh alot but I also do have a serious side when called for. but i try not to take things too seriously. I have many acquaintances but only a few close friends. I try to get along with everyone, or at least be civil with people for the most part. I'm an easy going type of guy. because of that, i don't like unnecessary drama at all. Sometimes it's unavoidable and you have to deal with it as it comes. That's just part of life. I'm just not too fond of people who seem to be prone to it. it's a turn off. I like to talk to people who are down to earth and are cool. it doesn't matter to me if you are popular, shy, or a nerd. I have been all three myself at one point..lol. I try to give people as much respect as it is given to me. another turn off for me is people who seem to think that they are above everyone else. i'm one of the most humble people out there and it is not in my character to feel like i'm superior to anyone. I'll treat you like an equal and I want that same respect given back to me. Money, cars , and jewelry do not impress me. that is not to say that having all of those things is bad, because it's not at all...but I just don't base the value of someone's self worth by what they have..i base it on who they are and what they are about. I used to be a very bitter person, i'd walk around grumpy with a chip on my shoulder. I guess I didn't like myself much back then. Now, I try to smile often and keep my head up even though sometimes it's hard to do so. I always try to look at the positive instead of the negative( it's not easy to do that either). Instead of being bitter, i'm slowly turning myself into a sweeter person( I know it sounds kinda sappy)i just figure that whatever happens in life, you just have to keep smiling and live life. don't let it just pass you by. i once read somewhere that you shouldn't try to find yourself but rather create yourself =) I think that the partying days of my live are being put to rest. i'm ok with that. I'm one of those people who likes to be in a relationship. It has to be with the right person tho.Physical attraction is important to me, but not as important as having mental chemistry with someone. that connection is very important to me, in order for it to work. i have been single for a while now. some people say that it's because i'm picky, i say i'm just selective=). just looking for a nice girl who is down to earth...so i'm definitely looking! anyway, I look forward to making some friends!. - cris
