Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Eaton, 22 year old

Date people from Eaton, United States. I know who i am and am very proud to be who i have become. All my failures and triumphs have gotten me here and i regret none of them!
I take pride in trying to be full of honesty, loyalty, and integrity. I am exceptionally respectful, patient, and cool headed. I honestly cannot remember the last time i was angry. I think things through and analyze them before overreacting. I know when things are or are not appropriate and how to act accordingly. At the same time, im very sarcastic, and sometimes my humor can be dark or crude. Im not afraid to discuss anything, i have nothing to hide.
Music and basketball dominate my leisure time. I like watching baseball as well and go to several Rockies games a year. My Dog Tricity is literally my best friend, and the only lady to have yet to break my heart in one way or another. She means alot to me and i dont know what id do without her!
In a potential partner, im looking for someone not afraid to be honest and do what is right, someone who is not afraid to be a smartass or find humor and sarcasm in anything. I want to meet someone strong, independent, and who takes the time to notice and enjoy even the simplest of things.
As of right now, im a full time student and part time worker. Money is not the most important to me, but my education is a bit more of a priority. Im attending to get a degree in Criminal Justice/Anthropology.
Id like to meet someone who is in the same place in life as i am, i dont want to feel like im ahead or lagging behind someone. Likewise, i dont want to be someone's knight in shining armour, ill support you, but i wont live your life for you, nor would i ask this of you. I do take the time to make those small gestures to show care and affection for others. All the small things amount to more than an one big sigh of affection.
I drink on rare occasions, smoke cigs occasionally. I play video games several hours a week, and exercise on the basketball court twice as much to make up for it.
I love kids, my nieces and nephews are very dear to me. I cannot wait to meet the right person who has the same passion in starting a family and having kids as i am. WHEN its the right time. My parents raised me right, and i know i have what it takes to raise my own kids right as well.
I have many close friend, but if anything, my family is the most important and influential group of people in my life. I spend lots of time with them.

-takes the time to make those small gestures to show you care and affection for others, whether it be a surprise dinner, a wake up "goodmorning" txt. heck drawing a smiley face on a napkin. all these things amount to a wealth of good vibes.
Dislikes:
