Does anyone actually want to go on a DATE?
On, you know, the DATING board? I would LOVE to see more actual personal ads telling us a little about yourself, and a little about what you're looking for, and a whole lot of what this damned site is actually supposed to be for. I'm imagining a place where that actually happens, and it's populated with unicorns and humanitarian republicant's, so here I throw the gauntlet, ladies: I challenge YOU to come up with the ideal ad for yourselves, post it here, and see what happens. Could be the world will end, could be you'll meet your match, most likely you'll get a bunch of spam from idiots and maybe a few good replies in there but that's the price we pay for digital sin living in a digital slum - take the good with the bad, take them both and then you have the...(finish that lyric and I'll give you a cookie, or a fresh-baked slice of banana bread OR a raspberry brownie bite, your choice). And since I don't believe in asking others to do what I don't, can't, or won't do, here's an actual ad to give you all an idea of MY wishlist. Hi, I'm a single white lesbian, I'm fun and interesting, I can be sarcastic and snarky, but I might have a heart of gold. I love to be active when I can, and hang around with my friends playing board and card games. Sometimes I fancy myself a writer and most times I just wish I had more talent. I love to laugh and make others laugh, and that is really important to me. I've got asthma and so must restrict my dating to those who don't smoke. Anything. Ever. However, new friends can smoke whatever they want as long as it's not around me. I have had many long term relationships, and some not so long term ones, and I don't see myself pining away for The One, or lamenting my solo sleeping habits (although I love physical affection and spooning friends are always appreciated), but I'd say I'm pretty happy in relationships. What about you? Well I'd love it if you were funny, or at least think that I am rip-roaringly funny, single (for the purposes of dating), intelligent (so we can have many deep conversations but some silly ones, thus the humour), stable (but not "normal") and friendly. I don't care if you're shy, because I'm an ENFP and outgoing enough for us all. I don't care if you're new at this or an old hand, and I don't care if you make lots of money or think you're the bomb, just be willing to go on an actual date (probably for coffee) and meet up in person. No pen-pals need apply. Now was that so difficult? Was it hard to read? Or did you get a pretty good sense of who I am, and who I might be looking for, at least enough to know if you might want to go on that date? Or be my friend so I can share more of my awesome stories with you? There's so much more to me, and to everyone, than we can ever share here, and there's so much more I want to tell you right now, but I'll save most of that for our first date. Or our first meetup, if it's friends you're after. I know it's not likely to change things on here, but I'm the kind of passionate person who, when she sees something that might be changed for the positive by her actions or words, will give it her best shot to make that positive difference. Also, I may be in my later 30's, but I don't discriminate unless you can't get into a bar, or still have to ask your mom's permission to stay out past 10, so say hi even if you think you're too young or I'm too old - we could still hang out and play games with my other buddies, who range in age from 17 to 62. Just be...open to possibilities and have an awesome Summah!
