10. What do you think makes someone a “good person”?
    • A good person is someone who takes the time and effort to make someone feel better.
11. Do you believe in love at first sight?
    • Having had crushes in the past I believe love at first sight is probably a myth. You can have feelings but it isn’t truly love until you get to know the person. In the event you express yourself to them there is a good chance it can be rejected but love has no boundaries and even if they chose not to be with you, you can choose to love them from a distance. I believe love has no laws and as a man I think there is a fine line between what can be said and done about it. I truly believe love has not been defined yet.
