*Kincaid, WV: Jimmie Hunter

I am a psychology, community sociology major; also spanish minor who loves to sing, dance and just have fun in general.  I enjoy movies, clubs and spicy food :)  Raised in a major portion by my grandmother, I grew up in a household full of very independent women.  This being the case I know of no other way to treat a lady, but with respect and admiration.  Due to my passion for music, my ideal date would be to have the favorite song of my date serenaded to her as a surprise, while having dinner at the restaurant of her choice.  This would later be followed up by dancing beneath the moonlight.  As long as there is music and lots of moonlight, the location of the dance is irrelevant; besides, it would only feel like just the two of us are there anyway.  Corny? Yes, I know, but the true romantics are the ones who make dreams reality.
