Despite my initial shyness and hesitancy to approach the new, my family and friends (I've never been the type to have a lot of friends, but rather a small group of really close ones that I consider to be family as well) will vouch that once I've warmed up to a new person, I am EXTREMELY loyal, easy to talk to, blatantly honest, fun to be around, and always willing to give a helping hand. I'm sure that my parents and little sister will disagree, but I like to think of myself as not controlling, simple, and laid back. When I think of my family, I am reminded of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," but instead of being Greek my family is Jewish :D We are loud, in each others business all the time, and I wouldn't change it for anything!!! I LOVE animals!!! Back home, the dogs run the house. My dog's name is Shiloh, she is a Beagle (of course). I wish I could have brought her up here to college with me, but my apartment doesn't allow pets and it would be unfair to her (she is used to having at least 2 other dogs with her at all times as well as being in a house big enough for her to sprint in).

I'm looking for a guy who is also honest, kind, loyal. Someone who loves/respects his family and considers his pets to be a part of that family, I know I do. Someone I can be MYSELF with, no relationship lasts if you have to hide who you really are from your partner. Tolerance/understanding for others beliefs (racism is a deal breaker) is a must! I love to read, it's how I unwind at the end of a hard day. I also LOVE to travel! I wish I had more opportunities to!
