I believe in love. I guess that's why I'm here - and not because I think that my computer provides me with the intimacy that I need, but because I wasn't willing to settle. It surprises me, too. I don't tend to think of myself as a hopeless romantic, but I guess under all the self realization and logical strategies there beats a passion and fearless instinct that wont let me rest. It would be so easy, wouldn't it? I see tons of people doing it everyday and yet I remain restless, attempting to live my truth. I'm a seeker and I'm constantly out in the world meeting and talking with people and exploring different ideas. Recently I was laid off and joined the ranks of the growing army. I find myself falling back on my artistic skills that I had put away some time ago and I try to have as much fun as possible. It's the only way to attract positive vibes! So, if you were laid off, we could like, totally, walk your dog and stuff. I have plenty of time for dating now. I see a lot of profiles out there that ask for "please no games" so I'll add that too as I've definitely been through those Los Angeles types too(and I'm a native!). I'm definitely looking to create a relationship in my life and make as many good friends as possible along the way!

I suck at internet dating. Why? I'm glad you asked so we could get this out of the way from the beginning: its incredibly awkward - and especially for me. The fact that I am a seeker and constantly chatting and discovering whoever is around me - I find that meeting someone from a profile, judging and analyzing them doesn't mesh with this mentality - nor the feeling of being judged and analyzed back. So my ideal "plenty of fish date" would just be a very lighthearted friendly meeting, with no pressure. I haven't internet dated much but on the few times I have - at least one guy felt entitled to "do stuff". He did help me get a great price on my Mac but paleeze this does not mean I owe you hanky panky! Don't get me wrong - I want to have a baby - just not from my first POF date. As for my ideal first date in the nonvirtual world - well u'll have to get to know me to find out about that!
