I've had a few communications so far, but most have either closed mid-communication or just stopped replying. Not sure what to do, so I figured posting and asking for some help is always a good idea.

Basic Information

Occupation: Student (Programming)
Age: 19
Height: 6' 0"(182 cm)
Wants Kids: Yes
Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity: White, non-Hispanic
Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual
Drinks: About once a week
Smokes: Never

The one thing I am most passionate about:

I am passionate about gaming, as well as literature and film. I listen to music, but not religiously; I listen to what I find is good, regardless of genre. My family is one of the most important things in my life, and my career is a close second - however, my partner would shoot to the top of that list.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
There are a few good qualities, but honestly I just want someone who can be just that: Honest. Someone who can tell me straight up what they like and dislike about me, and be honest with what they want in the relationship. That, and someone who isn't afraid to laugh - at life, and themselves.

The most influential person in my life has been:
My boss, Paul. He has a lot to say about a lot of things, and I've listened to him for the past 3 years. Learned a lot about myself, and about how social environments work. He's the kind of person I strive to be in my life.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
- The way my parent's raised me, helped me define my views on the world and society.
- Where I grew up (small town), helped me define my solitary nature.
- My friends (and sometimes lack thereof), helped me through the bad times and appreciate the good.

Three of my best life-skills are:
- Using humour to make friends laugh
- Maintaining an organized life
- Achieving personal goals

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
That I'm a good listener, and I actually care about people's problems. That, and I laugh quite often and like to crack jokes. And that I know when to be serious, and when to be more social and open.

The things I can't live without are:
Video Games (not really, but big part of life)
Film
Family
Close Friends
Someone that Cares about Me

The first thing people notice about me:
Most people first notice my quiet nature, but as you get to know me I open up.

Some additional information I want you to know:

I love competition. I don't mind getting worked up as long as I don't offend anyone in the process. I love being intimate, physically (and emotionally). I like listening to people talk about themselves, about what they like and don't. And finally, I love when people are honest with others and themselves, and when they stick up for what they believe. I guess I just want you to know that most people think of me as an honest and trusting person, and someone that you can open up to about anything knowing that I am here and can help.


I typically spend my leisure time:
I enjoy watching movies and TV some times, I like hanging with friends and family, playing board games and video games, and generally being social. But I also enjoy the time I have to myself to do whatever I want to do

The last book I read and enjoyed:
Last book I finished was Catching Fire (Second in Hunger Games series). I don't know why but I love the portrayal of the main character's relationship (female) with the male main character and her conflicting feelings between different people. It just seems very realistic and thoughtful.

My friends describe me as:

Quiet
Perceptive
Good Listener
Intelligent

Not bad for a 19 year old...

I would take out the part about enjoying sex....This is pretty much a given in any long term relationship you will find...It looks tacky to need to write about it.

I will say, you aren't going to find a lot of people your age on EH...Most people your age are out enjoying the world and have plenty of opportunities to meet prospective partners. From school to parties, etc.

If you are having trouble, it would be better to join groups or organizations that interest you that will have you getting to know others with similar interests. Volunteering at places for causes that you care about is another way. Sign up for a local course in photography or cooking.

Join hiking or biking clubs...or travel this summer with a bunch of friends through Europe or the U.S...

I just can't imagine if the internet was around and popular when I was that age that I would choose to meet someone online. I was way too busy out living and enjoying life!

My point is...it seems like lots of your interests now are things that keep you in a room by yourself on the computer....you need to get out and meet more people

(And fyi...I'm sure you know that many are excited about this summer's movie The Hunger Games!)

Thanks for the help I took down the bit about physical intimacy, but yeah eHarmony is just one thing I'm trying. Come next week I'm going to be joining a few other clubs (film/book namely), and see what else I can find around the city of TO to get myself out there. One thing I'd never do is go to bars or parties, mostly because I hate what people want out of those environments - which is one of the reasons I chose eHarmony over other online dating sites.

Again, thanks, and I'll take what you said to heart. And yes, I'm excited for Hunger Games movie too
