BRIAN          

"I believe everybody is destined to find someone, you just have to keep your eyes open," claims this 27-year-old mortgage consultant. "I'd love to find that girl who just takes my breath away and I can't imagine being with anybody else." This 6'2" Pisces, who resides in New Jersey, describes himself as outgoing, loyal and a character. "I have a great sense of humor," says this sexy blue-eyed bachelor. "What you see is what you get with me." Family is very important to Brian and he admits that he'd like to start one of his own one day. "I'd like to be married at 30. My mom keeps asking, `when are the grandkids coming?'" reveals this tantalizing tempter. "I'll know I'm ready when I wake up every morning and realize I love this girl even more than I did the day before."

... on HIMSELF

Best Qualities: "I'm outgoing. I'm definitely a loyal friend. I'm there for my friends when they need me. I'm a character. I'm funny, I have a great sense of humor. I'm sure there's a difference between being funny and having a great sense of humor. I have both. I can also be very sarcastic."

Strengths: "My ability to make people laugh at any time. I can cheer people up by making them laugh or even when they're already in a good mood, I can make them laugh more."

Weakness: "Sweets, desserts, chocolate, especially." 

What I see in myself that others may not see: "What you see is what you get with me. I'm honest with everybody. Within five minutes, you know exactly what I'm like. I can be a little shy when you first get to know me. It takes me a little while to open up. I wish I could just ...  Bam, go right into a room and be able to talk to anybody but it takes me a little while. I need to be introduced by somebody to somebody else. I can't just be the guy who can talk to everybody right away. My brother is the same way. We're both really outgoing once you get to know us. If it's possible we're shy and outgoing at the same time. I would never go up and approach a woman. I always wait for someone to come up to me and nine times out of ten, the girl that I want to talk to, I'll never end up talking to. They approach me sometimes but the ones I really want to talk to don't. If it's somebody that I know I'm really going to regret then I might psych myself up to go over there and talk to her. I don't know what it is, I guess maybe fear of rejection."

I've been known to... "eat a whole container of ice cream."

Interests: "I love radio controlled airplanes and helicopters. Since I was a kid I've always been into airplanes. I started working on my pilot's license when I was 13 and plan to some day finish with my training. I love going to the gym and doing anything sports related. I played baseball in college but I got hurt so I can't really play it anymore." 

Turn ons: "I like simple things. A great dinner, a nice vacation, a good movie. I like a girl who is obviously fit and who is confident and sure of herself. That's a big thing." 

Turn offs: "Arrogance, body odor, talking about ex-boyfriends. I don't want to know anything about a girl's past. I don't want to know numbers, it can't help the situation whether it's low or high. I stay clear of anything as far as ex-boyfriends are concerned."   

And the winner is ... "My freshman year of college I was the NJ Collegiate Relief Pitcher of the Year."   

Charities: "When I was in college, I went to a soup kitchen and helped prepare the meals for the homeless. It was an awakening experience. It really made me appreciate what I have."

Staying healthy: "I try to get up early and work out before doing anything. It makes me feel like I accomplished something before my day even starts."

What touches my soul: "I get really bothered when I see homeless people or somebody with a disability. That's when it really starts to hit you how lucky you are even with all the faults we think we have. You see something like that and realize there are so many things that can be so much worse; I can't get that out of my head for the rest of the day after I see something like that." 

... on WOMEN

A woman can get my attention ... "by being real. I don't like people who act a certain way around certain people and act another way around others. I like somebody who's just completely free and open no matter what setting they're in. Just a fun person. You can tell by their body language if somebody is having a good time, it's going to be much more attractive than somebody who's kind of slouched over and sitting at the bar. I'm definitely more attracted to the girl who is laughing and looks like she's having a good time with her friends."

Ideal woman: "I really like a girl who is outgoing, fun and willing to try new things at a drop of a hat. Someone who constantly makes me laugh and catches me off guard with the things she says and does and who continually sparks my interest. She doesn't have to throw a 90-mile-an-hour fast ball but I'd like a girl who can go hiking, fishing, etc. I don't like a girl who just wants to get manicures and go to the mall every day. Honestly, it's probably unrealistic for me to expect to find a girl who doesn't like to go shopping but ideally I like an outdoorsy, athletic type girl."

I can't resist a woman who ... "makes me laugh. Someone who constantly catches me off guard with the things she says and does and who continually sparks my interest."

How I show a woman I care about her: "Make plans. Don't just show up at her house and try to figure out what you are going to do. Find out what she likes and try to incorporate that into the date. Dinner and a movie is fine, but it's not very original."

A woman made me melt when she ... "made me a Halloween basket with all my favorite candy bars."

Most important quality in a woman: "Sense of humor." 

Ideal date: "I like an all day thing. Do something outdoors during the day, like hiking, then shower, go to dinner, then maybe a movie or a comedy club after that." 

What makes a woman unforgettable: "If she can make me laugh, I'm going to remember her. That's the most important thing to me, somebody who makes me laugh."

I wish women understood ... "that we're doing our best."

... on RELATIONSHIPS

Views on Relationships: "I've never been a long term relationship guy. I have had a couple but it's been 2-3 years since the last one. I'm very selective in the women whom I date. I haven't been in sync yet with somebody where I can see myself being together with for the rest of my life. I'd like to be married some day. My goal is to be married by the time I'm 30. My parents are fairly young and my dad always used to play all kinds of sports with me even when I was in college. I want to be able to do that when my son is 21, 22. I don't want to wait forever. So I'd say by 30, I'd like to be married so within a few years after that we could have kids. That's my game plan. I'd love to find, even today, that girl who just takes my breath away and I can't imagine being with anybody else. I would definitely be ready right now. I have to say this experience has shown me that there's a lot of people out there in the exact same situation I'm in. Just out there looking for that special someone. I can't believe how many people there are in their 20s, 30s who still have not found it. So I'm not as worried about it as I was. I set the time limit, I'd like to be married at 30. I was starting to feel the pressure, my mom keeps asking me when are the grandkids coming? But now I see, it's coming. You just have to wait and see what happens. I think everybody is destined to find someone, you just have to keep your eyes open. I'm going to know I'm ready to get married when I start to wake up every day and realize I love this girl even more than I did the day before.    

Top Relationship Keys: "The biggest key is honesty. I have to say I've always been honest in any of my semi-serious relationships because that's why they only lasted a few months because when I know it's not working out, rather than carrying it out, I just say that's the end of it. Another key is having things in common. But then, you're asking someone who hasn't had too many relationships to give the keys to a good relationship."

A woman who is in a relationship with me can expect ... "me to do some corny things. I give mushy compliments at random times. I'll do romantic type things at times when it's not really expected, just kind of catch people off guard in that way. I use romance and humor together. I'll say something romantic in a funny way because it's easier for me to say it rather than the candlelight dinner or something like that. I might do it in a different way." 

What I expect: "I go by the phrase `Do onto others as you would expect them to do onto you,' so I expect them to treat me exactly the way they'd like to be treated. Just be honest with me, let me know if there's something wrong. Don't hide it."

When I'm in love, I ... "hope I'll know it."

Greatest Relationship Lesson: "Long distance relationships don't work. I've tried numerous times and it seems that in any of the relationships I've had that have lasted any amount of time, distance has always been somewhat of an issue. When I went away to college, my girlfriend was 12 hours away, then the next year she moved six hours away. The year after that my girlfriend was two hours away. Everyone I meet seems to be far away and it doesn't work out. So I'd say definitely move or don't get involved." 

... on SEX

I feel my sexiest ... "in a suit."

What puts me in the mood: "If a woman took charge and planned a date instead of expecting me to do it."

Sexiest thing a woman has ever done for me: "I'd love to share but my parents might read this." 

Besides the bedroom, favorite place to have sex: "The beach."

What makes sex good: "Being comfortable with the person."

... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS

Movie: "Dumb and Dumber."

TV Show: "Seinfeld."

Music: "I like all kinds of music, but I really like reggae because it makes me feel like I'm on vacation." 

Food: "Seafood and buffets of all kinds." New: Ice cream. 

... on LIFE

Responsibility to Society: "I feel like I should give something back because I am a lot more fortunate, and I don't mean wealthy or well off, but still much more fortunate than a lot of people. I give my old clothes to Good Will and things like that but I don't do nearly as much as I should."

Valuable Life Lesson: "Never take anything for granted."

What I try to get out of life every day: "Experience. The older I get the more I realize how little I know."

I must ... "skydive, get married, have children."

Best advice I've received: "Go with your first answer. My mom told me that. I always go with it. Whenever I'm unsure of something, I always go with my first instinct." 

... final THOUGHTS

Nicknames: "TI Bri.."

Wheels: "Dodge Durango."

Items always in my refrigerator: "Eggs and Edy's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream."

Hottest possession: "My family."

Secret fantasy: "It's so corny but I just want to be happy. I don't know what that entails or what I have to do, but I just want to end up happy. I'm somewhat happy now ... but I could be happier."

Me, a deserted island and ... "the girl of my dreams."

A character who best describes me: "People say that I'm a cross between Chandler and Joey from Friends. I have kind of the wacky humor of Joey but also the sarcastic personality of Chandler. I get that all the time. It's definitely true. I'd like to believe that it's more like Chandler than some of the stupid things Joey does." 

I would like to change places for 24 hours with ... "the starting pitcher for Game 7 of the World Series."

I would most like to hang out with ... my buddies from home."

What makes me a great catch: "I think they made a mistake. I'm not a great catch."

Me in a word: "Funny."
