Age: 20 Sex: Male Location: UK, west midlands for the next year or so I’m a student at Warwick university, my interests are dancing and martial arts (I teach both), meeting new people…reading and looking at the stars and music. As far as looks go I’m not bad I guess, I maybe look a little younger than my age, I’m medium height and build, obviously in shape from all the exercise, light skin and brown hair with hazel eyes. I’m willing to give anyone a fair chance, but I would love to meet a girl who was into the martial arts or dancing and especially into keeping fit as I find that a very attractive quality in a person. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by qts \* > \*\*That’s some split, **Bethcro** \*\* Yep, and it’s played merry hell with the accent. 😉 I’m American, raised in Tulsa, but I’ve lived in London UK for the past 17 years. I’ve spent much of the past year in Tulsa, due to family illness. I’m going back to London on 23 Sept. I’ll either be staying in the UK (if I find work again), moving to Oklahoma to look after my dad, or moving to Amsterdam. Decisions, decisions. ---

Hi, **Sunspace!** I haven’t seen _Bollywood, Hollywood_ yet, but it IS in my Netflix queue. So far I’ve seen more of the “blockbusters” from the 80s and 90s, along with some older films starring Amitabh Bachchan (what a voice! _swoon_). Hey **Billdo,** I would love to come to **Manny’s** retirement party and meet some of my fellow single Dopers (like, um, you 😉 ), especially since I missed the Woodlawn Cemetary tour. But my dad is having some outpatient surgery done that day, and I’ll need to be around to pick him up and make sure things are okay once he’s home. Some one of these days, though, I’ll make it to a Doper gathering, I swear! ---

OK, **sunfish** , I’ll accept that excuse _this time_, but next time . . . Hope your dad is OK. Oh, and beware what happened to the last single, female geologist who started going to Doper gatherings . . . circumstances caused her to leave her home and be exiled to Florida. Of course, those circumstances were **Geobabe** ’s meeting and marrying **UncleBill** , so it wasn’t all awful. ---

Okay, okay, **Billdo** , I promise you won’t have to serve me with a subpoena or something to make me come to a Doper gathering. 😉 Just seems that lately I need to figure out how to get the planets properly aligned, etc. before I can make social plans that stick. > [@](#): > > Oh, and beware what happened to the last single, female geologist who started going to Doper gatherings . . . Ahh, a whiff of danger in the air … just the thing I need to spice up my life a little! 😃 [sub]BTW, my dad will be fine, thanks for asking. It’s a routine procedure; it’s just that he’s expected to be groggy and pretty uncomfortable after.[/sub] ---
