In a nutshell: Palestinian-American professor seeking a serious long term relationship leading to marriage. I grew up in Jordan initially but have lived in the U.S. for a very long time. I still have connections back to the Mideast and am proud of my background. Looking for someone to share Knafeh with. Do you like yours crispy (khishneh) or soft (na3meh)? Let's see if we match! I don't have any kids. I am looking for a partner who is curious, intelligent, compassionate, open minded and enjoys exploring the world of ideas and other cultures...someone who strikes a good balance between home life and work life. A real plus if you have an interest in worldly affairs (not those kinds of affairs! I mean the political or intellectual kind!:). I enjoy watching and playing soccer though don't get to do that as much now. What's your favorite team? That's in a nutshell. what about you?
