So, I'm from NJ and moved to Philly a year ago for school and work. My family is still in NJ, so I get the best of both worlds, especially going down the shore in the summer. I'm in my second year of graduate school studying social work and human sexuality. I love living in Philly; love my apartment; love exploring new places around the city; love sushi! I'm a pretty laid back person who has a lot of positives happening in her life and a missing piece is someone to share it with. I'm not looking for the games, the drama, the nonsense. I'm a do it myself kind of person; but I will ask for your help when I need it, I promise. I also believe in this bizarre/revolutionary sense of honesty and truth. Lies or omission of truths are sure ways to get "peaced out" of my life. On a more positive note,I'm very romantic and affectionate; considerate and sincere. I'm looking for someone who has his ish together; is ambitious, hilarious, can play a sweet game of verbal volleyball, is witty, and most importantly...someone who brings more than just his fork and knife to the table! Relationships are all about balance and just finding that solid friendship that sets the foundation for an awesome relationship!
So...bring it on!

In lieu of recent emails...I thought it essential to include a list complete with personal narrative of automatic turn offs!
1. If you have a picture throwing your middle finger or "gang signs" up...it's NOT cute and you're too old to be posing in pics with your fingers up.
2. If you smoke...sorry, but I must've missed that memo on when yellow teeth, lung cancer, and a wicked stale stench was in style.
3. Look, I understand some words are hard to spell...and I forget sometimes, too....HOWEVER...if you cannot spell SMALL words...or do not know that "tooken" is NOT a word...or that LAID is NOT spelled LAYED...then I cannot help you!
4. If your email to me has any of the following words in it, you will NOT get a response: ma, mami, hottie, baby, shorty, etc. I am NOT your ma, your mami, or your shorty!
5. PLEASE know the difference between here, hear, your, you're, their, there, they're, it's, its! Are these THAT difficult? Really? C'mon? haha
6. While I don't want to be ageist-I'm not looking to date my dad, a sugar daddy or some other type of father figure. On the flip side, I'm also not looking to date my little brother(somewhere in the 25-35ish range).
7. STOP favoriting me! What is the damn point of that? Send me an email if you're interested.
8. If your entire email reads "wanna meet?" The answer is NO...matter of fact, HELL NO!
9. If you're writing to let me know that you're "going to be in the area this week for work...,"please know that I DON'T CARE,I'm NOT interested, and there are escort services available for your entertainment needs.
10. If you're writing to lecture me about having this list...chances are I'm probably referring to YOU! Save BOTH of us the time...and just sign off! OR...join another site! :P
11. If you've ever been diagnosed as a sociopath...or have sociopathetic tendencies, DO NOT CONTACT ME!
12. NO REPUBLICANS! I just can't!

First date...I'm really game for whatever. I'd be just as content going to a nice restaurant as I would going to a ball game and tearing up some hotdogs!
