I am very much new to the online dating scene. I haven't had the opportunity to date much to begin with and wanted to make a serious effort to do so now. I am really looking for a long-term relationship, hopefully with that special someone that will be the love of my life! I prefer my partner to be raised in the US for most of her life.

I was born and raised in the US. Both of my parents are from Mumbai. My family is a balanced mix of traditional Indian culture and Western culture. We are Hindu and vegetarian. My immediate family consists of my mother (part-time teacher and librarian) and my younger sister (doctor). I have a large extended family in the US. I studied Aerospace Engineering in undergraduate and graduate studies and concluded my studies with my Master's Degree at Purdue University. I have lived in Alabama most of my life and my job is here too, but do not have any issues with relocation. My previous assignment allowed me to stay in Seattle for a year,... more which I really enjoyed! Despite being from Alabama, my political views are very much liberal.

I am an aerospace engineer that takes his work seriously, helping build space ships that will take us to Mars one day. Space has always been an interest of mine, and I'm so happy that my professional life is coming along well - just need to work on the love life! My interest in space started with Star Wars, which I am a huge fan of. Watched all of the movies (several times), read the books/comics, and played the video games. I am quite into the nerd / geek culture (science fiction, fantasy, superhero etc.). I have attended a few conventions and met famous actors like Patrick Stewart! I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. Indoor activities include games, watching TV, watching movies, and learning about the latest technology. My outdoor activities include running, volleyball, badminton, some hiking, and travel. I really enjoy exploring a new city if I have a chance to visit and spending that time with a special someone would make it even better.

What I am looking for in my partner:
Grew up in the US
Finished studies or is in her residency
Self-sufficient
Intelligent - Need someone to challenge me!
Family-Oriented - My responsibility to my family is very important and hope to find someone that shares this.
Shares some of my interests - Bonus if you are a Star Wars fan ;)
