So I'm going to make this as straight forward and blunt as possible. If you think you are, can be, used to be, this girl, message me... I want someone that can be easy to fall for. Hopeless romantic at heart, so this is a must. I found love once, and I miss the feeling of having someone always there. Women might say they're not clingy and I know that's not true. I want someone clingy about 90% of the time. I want someone easy to talk to, someone that's not going to withhold things from me. Openness, honesty and trust are the three things that will make or break a couple, I of all people know this fact to be true. I want someone to take my hand when we're in public, if I haven't already taken hers. Must like some PDA, hands, hugs, occasional kiss from time to time. No full blown flashing or any further than that. Anything more than a kiss on the streets is meant for behind closed doors, just for the two of us. I'm not one to say ILY too fast, but I'm not afraid to speak my emotions. The heart wants what the heart wants, end of story. Don't be a fake. I'm being as honest and open as possible here. I would expect the same, especially if you're listed as searching for "Long Term". I know she's out there; could it be you? I myself am a gentleman, I open doors, "lady first" dedication, I'd take a backseat for a lady, etc. I'm not going to say I'm Prince Charming, but I sure as hell ain't the frog either. I don't understand why I can always be the good guy, and wind up finishing last. I refuse to be the "last good man standing". Now for contacting me... if you think you're the lady I just listed, that little button that says "Contact TankaForever Now!" needs your mouse pointer on it, and for you to click it. :)

Update 7.22: I don't know what I gotta do to get someone to message me, I don't know if I need to expand my horizons, as I love to drive, I don't get how I can send so many messages, and get nothing back, wtf? See, this simple fact, this is why I'm starting to believe 97% of women, no matter what background, no matter what lifestyle, no matter looks, etc., are JUST as bad as the "good guys" looking for a piece of ass. Let me make this one request - If you find something interesting on my profile, shy or not, just send me a message saying "Hi" and if needed I will spark the conversation. By the way, if you're one of the *****es that do the "Unread Deleted" on messages that are sent because of interest, every one of you deserve to do one thing - delete your POF account. You need to be set in place, because your **** stinks just like the rest of us. Now, how's that for honesty?

Update 8.23.09: Since I posted the profile that tells the uncensored truth, things have really picked up. There have been a few brave souls that have come out and said hello, and there has been quite some intelligent conversations being held. Hence why my title says "Have a second look". Honesty is always the best policy, and that's all I've been - honest. Looks like the good guy may not finish last after all.

9.21.09: Took out the 9/4 update, she turned out to be just like the rest of my experiences, good for a few weeks then out the door, damnit why is it so hard to find someone that takes a special, particular interest in someone now days? Really now, if women are really that superficial, then some of us are meant to stay alone...

11.20.09: Haven't had a chance to update in a minute, finally getting the chance to. I'm honestly starting to believe that some were meant to be alone in the one life we have to live. A good friend of mine made mention to this reference: Some profiles have the stupid little sh!t that says "I want one guy to prove to me they're not all the same." Ya know what, I want one gal to prove to me you're not all the same as well." I'm so sick of past experiences jacking up what could possibly be a future. Yea the past hurts, but it's just that - the past. Not to sound insensitive, but you have to draw the line somewhere. This is where I draw the line. If you can't tell from everything I've said prior to now, I'm not the others. I'm nothing like the others. I actually give a sh!t about things. My peace is said.

First date isn't exactly a first date, let's get that clear. It's more of a first meeting. The first impression of someone. First impressions last forever, as the saying goes, and I believe in it. First meetings shouldn't be so pressured, a day in the park, out by the river, something easy going. I absolutely despise the whole "dinner and a movie" thing. Dinner is you watching the other person eating, with barely any conversation, and the movie you can't talk at. I do things on the spur of the moment, as I have found that if you plan anything it gets shot to hell. I like a lady with input. I hate being the one to come up with everything, but at the same time I hate it when the lady has to come up with everything. Make it 50/50, and see if the fireworks fire from there. If so, make something out of it.
