Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Sitka, 22 year old

Date people from Alaska, United States. About me: I'm 22 years old and in the Coast Guard. I work as a photographer's assistant on the side, as well as blog for a website on life as a woman in the military. You could say I'm a career woman, but I do aspire to find that elusive thing called 'love' someday.
I love the outdoors, and animals. If I could, I'd have a bunch of cats and dogs to love, but unfortunately my life is a bit too busy to have any of my own. I grew up in Michgan close to the water, and I'd never be able to settle down anywhere away from a large body of water. I have some odd hobbies: I fly kites and hike, but don't knock the kite flying until you've tried it! Riding horses is my favorite thing to do in the world, but unfortunately I don't get to go that often. I love to dance and have fun with my friends, as well as kick back and watch the game with the guys. Most of my friends are male, so you'd have to be able to deal with that and not get jealous!
What I want in a guy... Someone who has to understand my career come first. I'm in the military, its how it goes. He has to be fun, with a goofy side, but knows when to be serious. A guy that can make me laugh, smile and feel good about myself. I get insecure at times, so he has to be able to reassure me. Any guy that wants to be Mr. Right has to be willing to be a friend first before expecting anything serious. He has to be well spoken, intelligent, goal oriented, with a great sense of humor. There has to be a physical attraction as well, but I'm not too terribly picky on looks so long as you have a personality. He has to be a perfect gentleman - a guy that doesn't respect me or treat me well will get kicked to the curb. If I'm interested, you'll know. If I'm not, don't be pushy and try to get with me. I'm not looking for forever right now, but I'd sure like to find it some day! It may seem like I'm asking for a lot here, but honestly, I'm looking for someone who is going to treat me the way I deserve. Settling just isn't my style!
