If you read this you can save yourself some time (in case you don't like Catholics with shaved heads or something!).. And I live in a rural area between Solon and Warren, about a half hour from both.

My aunt recently asked me if I thought dating was harder now as opposed to when I was younger. I said I thought it was easier now because my standards are lower (joke!).

I'm looking for a healthy, energetic, positive person who has goals. Someone who wants to have fun and improve their corner of the world. Ideally, you have never married and want kids. I also know life happens. I'm not perfect (yet) and I don't expect that from you. I have a divorced sister w/kids and I know how hard she works/sacrifices to raise them right, let alone try and meet people.

I want us to to be interested in each other; to connect, to grow. If you can't tell yet, I like to joke around. But I'm serious about all the right things. I'm open to talking to anyone, and I know what I'm looking for.

Also, I'm Catholic and I believe in it.

I reply to everyone who contacts me because I think that's respectful (one sentence messages like" "hi how are you" are respectfully exempted from this promise). Thanks!

We can save the wild creativity for future dates-- I think a light-hearted initial meeting is good-- like a coffeeshop or some other public place. I know right away if I'd like to get to know the person better and hopefully vice versa!
