...and what do I mean?
Okay, I've subscribed to an online dating site and one of the things I have to do is write a profile. I'm getting some pretty crappy response so I suspect it has something to do with my introduction. Can someone please look at the one I currently have up and the one I'm considering posting? I'm also looking for feedback on what I could do to make the profile more appealing. Please, help me folks, Mrs. Right may be passing me over any day now!
Note: I'm in/around Atlanta, GA, US.
Please help me Obi Lit...you're my only hope!
Current Introduction:
Who am I and what am I looking for? I'll take the second part first....
I'm looking for an independent woman who's not afraid to let me look after her, but also knows how to return the favor. I love to laugh, but I'm not as funny as I think I am (according to my "friends"). I'm comfortable with my emotions and I love to talk. And yes I listen too. Clear communication in all forms is vitally important. If we can't communicate openly and honestly just expect the relationship to die a slow, horrible death.
I already have a mother, I can cook, I own my own home and I have a job that I enjoy. In the past I've been sedentary, but now I find myself looking for some other areas to explore. So what am I doing in my spare time these days? Well, one of the things I'm trying to do is figure out just what there is to do in and around town. This would really be much more enjoyable with someone special.
"Okay," you are asking, "Who is that someone?" Well, she's fun, playful, curious, wild enough to explore but serious enough to know when enough is enough. She should be smart, have opinions and love to talk about everything. She's comfortable with herself and confident enough to stand up for her beliefs.
Originally in my profile I said I was interested in meeting as friends, which I am, however, I've had time to re-think that and now realize I'm also looking for more than that. I'm looking for intimacy, an emotional connection and yes some sensuality and passion when the time is right. Okay, who rolled their eyes when they read that? *counting...88, 89, 90...,* Well, judging by the number of hands I see that you aren't buying that. *laughing* I could loudly reiterate my sincerity, but truly the only way you'll know if I'm being honest is to get to know me.
Note: I got some feedback the other day indicating that "seperated" doesn't count as available. It's true I am wrapping up my divorce, but I assure you, I am available.
Re-written Introduction:
I’m looking forward to spending time with the right person; whether it’s a trip to the High, a night at a comedy club, an evening at Chastain, a walk in Piedmont park or a lunch at the Zoo. We may have a nice dinner at Bones or get take out ribs at a hole in the wall and eat them while watching a movie at home. Maybe well go to a local park and swing on the swings or rent a boat on Lake Lanier. We could do some volunteer or charity work as a date on a weekend. Of course we might just have a quiet dinner at home where I’ll make stuffed Manicotti and serve it with a nice red wine or maybe have a cook out and introduce some of our friends to each other. It’s possible you could teach me to play tennis or kayak or show me the benefits of taking a long bike ride. You see, it doesn’t matter what we do, as long as we're doing it together.
I sincerely enjoy taking care of my special someone and I like to think I'm pretty good at it. Everyone knows it's the little things that make the difference, but what's forgotten is that they should be done without taking away your partner's independence. It's also nice to be taken care of. A quiet look, a random touch, simple words of appreciation so I know I'm on track. The woman I can take in to my heart is comfortable talking about anything; good and the bad. The woman I'm looking for sees disagreements as an opportunity to explore differing points of view, not as a personal attack. Sometimes we will just need to agree to disagree and have a bowl of ice cream. Of course it's amazing, almost electric, when we synchronize and build on each other. The best part is when we start laughing together. There's simply no better energy then that.
If you can appreciate a man that is equally comfortable using a chainsaw or shopping at the mall or a man that can touch your heart and make you laugh till you snort then I’m guy you’re looking for.
