I am creative, intelligent, and open-minded.
My Self-Summary
I'm recently divorced, and I have a 7 year old son, who is the
absolute light of my life. I haven't dated in 10 years, so this is
still pretty new to me. I'm looking for someone who makes me laugh
and will treat me right! I'm very creative, open-minded, kind,
caring, energetic, and outgoing.
If you are at all familiar with the Meyers-Briggs personality
assessment, I'm an ENFP.
I'm not looking for game players, meaningless sex, or a baby daddy.
But I am looking to test the dating waters for a while until I find
someone worth settling down with.
What I’m doing with my life
Putting it back together! I'm out of a terrible situation, and I'm
happy to be free to meet new people and try new things! I've had
drama for years, and I'm done with that part of my life.
I was laid off from my job in Human Resources last year, and I've
been looking for something full-time ever since. I do work
part-time as a referee. I'm still financially fairly secure, even
without a full-time job, so I'm not looking for someone to "take
care of me." Until I find something, I spend a lot of time with my
son, do a lot of
zumba, and work on my house. Yay for power
tools!!!!!
Editors
I’m really good at
Cooking. At least, I haven't had any complaints or nasty food
poisoning incidents! I actually enjoy cooking too. I don't look at
it as a chore at all, and I love to try new recipes. Unfortunately,
since becoming single, I don't really have anyone to cook for!
Volunteers?
As for other things, I was a music major in college, so I
definitely have some aptitude in that area, although I don't really
do anything with it professionally.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm tall and Irish. I'm right around 6', with reddish hair, blue
eyes, and freckles. I'm really a european mutt, but Irish seems to
be the only thing that shows. I get a lot of "Wow. You are really
tall", and, "Are you Irish?" *sigh*
In the last six months, I've become addicted to the gym, so I've
lost close to 50 pounds, and I'm still losing. Most people who know
me notice my crazy weight loss. (In a good way.) I'm proud of it,
and I feel better than I ever have.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Books tend to choose me, instead of me choosing them. I do
like to read though. Right now, I'm in the middle of reading
Wicked since I saw
the stage show last year.
Movies: Some of my favorites include,
The Princess Bride,
The American
President,
The Replacements,
The Usual
Suspects, and anything
Disney (but particularly
Mulan.)
Food: I love to try new things! I actually try to go out and try
new ethnic foods as often as I can. Thai is definitely my favorite
though.
The six things I could never do without
COFFEE! (I'm
addicted),
my
friends,
music,
my car, and air
conditioning!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything. I'm constantly analyzing situations, people, and stuff
in general. Right now, I think a lot about my future and what it
will bring. I'm still trying to feel out this whole internet dating
thing.
On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging with my friends or my son, or maybe going out for dinner,
coffee, a party, etc. Sometimes, I just like to hang out for a
quiet evening at my house. Depends on the Friday night I guess!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm addicted to
Survivor. I know, it's ridiculous and
scripted and very high drama, but it's a guilty pleasure and I just
can't help myself! It's like a car accident - you just can't help
but look.
You should message me if
You are genuinely nice guy (and not married)! No really. I'm not
interested in being anyone's "friend with benefits". I'm really
just looking for an interesting guy. I want someone that I can have
a reasonably intelligent conversation with, and can make me laugh.
Being recently divorced, I haven't had the opportunity to meet new
people in a long time. I'm pretty laid-back in general, and I'd
like someone who is also. Extra points if you're into music or
motorcycles though.... ;)
