I grew up here in California and have values that reflect both Persian and American cultures. I'm basically looking for a similar background. Although I've noticed many girls who have written me and would like me to come to a different country and get engaged and / or married in a couple of weeks, I'm looking for something that would last long term, not a few hours. If you're very religious, it'll probably not work with me. If you're looking for someone honest, funny, outgoing, adventurous and family oriented, then I'd love to know you better! Having qualities such as being respectful of others, humble, sweet, honest and having a great personality will get my attention from a mile away (ok, maybe from a 1000 miles or more away). I think that in order to be compatible, friendship has to exist, which I believe sets the foundation for a lasting and successful relationship.
