could cut and paste someone elses description in here since it seems we're all the same. I think I'll try some honesty. How about...I'm overweight, not a top model and sometimes I'm way too hard on myself. I like staying home more than going out. My friends think I'm a riot, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm hilarious, or just look that way. I want someone to share my time and life with, but I refuse to settle on something less than I feel I deserve. I'm a giver...and one of my faults is that I may give too much. I'm not photogenic, and often hear that I'm much prettier in person. Obviously, that's for you to decide.

Now..after having said all that, I like who I am. I'm fun to be around once the shyness wears off. It took a long time for me to realize that I am exactly who I'm supposed to be.

Honesty is extremely important to me. I'd rather be hurt by the truth than devastated by a lie.

Ultimately I want a lifelong love...but that has to start someplace..right? After all...what is love but friendship on fire?

*The following are from online dating experiences. Sad, but oh-so-true examples of what seems to be available*

*sigh* All you young boys with an Oedipus complex (google it), I'm flattered, but not interested. I like younger men, but not boys that are young enough to be my children.

One thing that completely drives me crazy is a man who refuses to communicate. It doesn't take any effort to pick up the phone every couple of days. Or shoot off an email or text message. You wanna see me, make an effort.

On the flip side, I have a job. I have a things I do. If I don't respond to your text in 30 seconds...maybe I'm busy. Stop asking if I've lost interest. Stop pushing. Grrr!

I like to have fun and act silly. But genuine immaturity is NOT a turn on. Please...don't tell me you're just a "baby boy". Makes me wanna smash my head thru a window.

Don't tell me you're "different from other men" and prove yourself a liar. Don't get me wrong...I love sex, but if that's all I wanted, I'd look into an "intimate encounter". Keep your schlong in your pants for a while or move along to something else.

Don't be a chickensh*t. If you don't wanna go out with me, I can handle that just fine, but standing someone up just shows you have no balls.

I firmly believe that my glass should always be considered half empty.....the sooner I finish it, the sooner I can get a fresh drink from the bar. *hic

I have a thing about teeth...and I won't date someone with jacked up teeth..or greasy hair, or still attached to momma by the umbilical cord.
I can't date a weak man cuz I'll walk all over him.
I don't need drop dead gorgeous.
I just need someone with some confidence, a spine, and a sense of humor.

I'd love to find a man who isn't afraid to let his feelings show. He needs to how important the little things are in a relationship, and he needs to know WHAT those little things are. Someone who likes walks in the rain or just stomping in mud puddles. An early afternoon cup of coffee in a shop with atmosphere where we could talk and laugh. If things go well, possibly a walk, looking in shop windows, holding hands, just enjoying the afternoon.


WOOT~!~! GO SEAHAWKS!!!
