"Hi, I was just thinking about you and went to one of those matching sites. Oh my gosh! Have I got a guy for you. He's recently moved back to the US from China. (He speaks Mandarin Chinese and some other dialect, or something.) Get this: he was a school principal and a Montessori teacher! He loves kids (but says he can't eat a whole one). He just came back from a short surfing vacation in Mexico, so I don't think he's seeing anybody. He moved to Lincoln to take care of his parents, so he's loyal and supportive of family. What a guy!
"He's tall, has a great personality, and he's super cute.
Let's talk about the important stuff. He has goals. He's studying in university again, pursuing an art degree. He wants to work in industrial design and graphic art. (Whatever, who knows what these artsy types are taking about.)
"Look, I think you should definitely meet this guy! He's really great. And funny, too! Once he wrote an introduction to girls that were looking at his profile and he pretended that he was someone else trying to set the girl up with his friend! Who was him! It was hilarious!
"Anyway, if you want to contact him, let me know."

When I get excited about something I get very focused. Money and career are very important to me, but I'm going to enjoy what I'm doing. I'm back in school to further my education. That's my priority right now. I just came back from living over a dozen years in Asia in order to look after my parents who were facing some tough health issues. Relocating wasn't easy. I had great friends and adventures over there and want to hold onto that way of life back here in the US. I've made tremendous sacrifices to help my family and had to face many uncomfortable personal, professional, social (you name it) challenges to meet my goals and the goals of my family. I'm working hard to meet those goals. I want to keep growing and developing in all aspects of my life, and I want a partner who can grow and develop with me.

Some of my favorite activities are bike riding, surfing, art, and outdoor exercise. I'm an intelligent, glass half full, kind and daring sort, you should be, too. Funny and silly with buddies. On dates I like to have fun whether it's outdoors, dancing at a club, or just hanging out. When I'm getting to know a person I like to date one-on-one and then meet friends later on as things progress. I enjoy meeting and mingling.
I've had a few long-term relationships and I've learned a lot from each of them. I continue to grow and change and learn from my friends. I love to travel with the right person. I'd like to date someone close, but my city's small population doesn't leave many options, so I've expanded my search.

I'm re-tooling and re-schooling, working on an art degree for a second career. I was a school principal in China, but chose to return when my parents suffered health problems. A career in art and design is the culmination of my dreams and goals.

I'm good at it b/c I really like to do it. Focus in key.
# Keeping physically fit - I like exercise. I like to bike for transportation. Been doing it whenever I can since... the late 20th Century.
# Using humor to make friends laugh - (PUT FUNNY JOKE HERE!!!)
# Remaining calm yet resilient during a crisis - Loads of practice but things are resolved and/or I don't go to that area of town late at night any more. Yikes!

People usually notice my smile. It's hard to turn off. When we chat people are engaged by my sense of humor and wit. (DON'T FORGET TO PUT JOKES HERE!!!)

My family and my goals. Art.

With my buddies having a laugh or with art projects having a deadline.

One buddy told me a few days after the fact that he'd thought about something I said and cracked up because he finally got it. Having said that, another good friend told me, "You're not as funny as you think you are, but you're probably funnier than I think you are."

It would be cool if you thought like this:
"I want a MAN who calls me beautiful instead of sexy, who calls me just to tell me he was thinking about me, who will pull me closer to him while he's sleeping... The man who smiles when our eyes meet, and grabs my hand to hold when we're in the car driving. A man who wants to show me off to the world and invites me to hangout with his friends, who thinks I'm pretty with a hair wrapped up and no make-up. The one who reminds me that he cares for me, and steps over temptation, like trash in his path. A man who admires how unique I am, and likes to hear what I think and values my opinion, who laughs when I make little mistakes and tells me it's OK, the one that I can call at 4 am and he'll pick up with a raspy voice and ask if everything is OK...who will tickle my neck with his lips, and treats me like his cherished friend before anything else...The one who will turn to his friends and softly say, "that's her."

Message me if you want to meet a passionate, witty, fun guy.
