About Me
I’m an authentic and affectionate person looking for the same. I’m not a drama queen and I don’t want to be your princess. I’m spunky and I’ve got stuff to say.
I’m a creative person and probably won’t be wearing/watching/reading/listening to what everyone else is. You are more likely to find me at a flea market or thrift store than the mall, digging in my garden not getting my nails done, getting some exercise outside not at the gym, at the library than at a club.
I’d like to get more involved in some outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and cross country skiing. Maybe you could teach me something?
I also like live theatre, movies, live music of almost any kind, and museums. Oh, and beer. A little friendly competition over a game of cards can be fun, too. And I’d love to cook with someone, not just for them.
I’m looking for a companion who is easy to talk to, open, and honest. I’m fine doing things by myself and don’t need to be with someone 24/7, but would like to have someone to share adventures with.
Being single is the newest adventure in my life and I’m enjoying it. I have children, and they keep me busy so my time for dating is limited. But I make the most of the free time I do have. Right now, I’m keeping my home life separate from my dating life so you won’t meet my kids anytime soon.
I want a man in my life for companionship, not to take care of me. I have tools and know how to use them (well, sort of anyway)and I know where Grease Monkey is so I won’t ask you to fix stuff around my house or tune up my car. Unless you want to, and then I’ll watch because men+tools=hot.
I’m not looking for a serious relationship, just casual fun, something to look forward to on the weekend. By ‘casual fun’ I don’t mean ‘casual sex’ so if that’s all you are looking for, move along. I think we kind of have to know that we like each other before we go there.
If you’re stable, not creepy, independent, open, honest, and looking to get to know a real woman, I want to hear from you.
First Date
A first date should be short, and shouldn’t involve drinking or you might not get me to shut up. Maybe a walk, coffee, something relaxed, no pressure. Please, don’t bring flowers, that would be uncomfortable. Also, it should happen soon after we make contact. None of the ongoing emailing/texting, I want to meet you in person. That’s the only real way to tell if there is any chemistry there, don’t you think?
Alright, opinion time: One of the main reasons I HATE Plenty of Fish is the half-assed, geocities-circa-1991 web design. the pictures are small, too small in my opinion, but I know that’s not your fault “Cheyenne”. It just sucks that we can’t see your warm eyes and sweet smile bigger than 300 pixels wide!
I also don’t like the one giant paragraph format on POF, but you really navigated it pretty damn well. I remember when I signed up for POF, I sat for like a week looking at a great big empty profile because I just could NOT figure out what to write. And I like to consider myself something of a writer — it was daunting!
All in all, I think it’s a pretty alright profile. I’d like to see you on a REAL dating site, but that’s just ’cause I’m a POF hater!
What do you guys think?
Sunday Showcase is a weekly series intended to de-wreckify online dating. I know I’m normal… There’s got to be other normal folks out there right? All profiles listed in the Sunday Showcase are submitted by Date Wrecks readers. They’re not necessarily FOR everyone, but we can all agree that their profiles are well-written, descriptive, informative and, sometimes, even a little funny. Clever is good — real good. If you’d like your profile to be featured on Sunday Showcase — of if you know you’re a regular, non-creepy person, and would like help in making it better — email me. Contact form is at the top of the page.
