Hi. My name is "Lou". I'm 33 yrs. old and am from the NW suburbs of Chicago. I'm currently a lesson production coordinator and a drawing instructor. My work involves me teaching children which I enjoy very much. In the past, I've also been a contributing editor to a teen fashion magazine and also a published cartoonist and writer.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, going to live events, working out, and spending time with family and friends. My true passion is being creative. I love to write and I also love to draw.

I'm kind of quirky and probably more of a "character" than anything else. I have an odd sense of humor. I like to play jokes on people. And I try not to take things too seriously. I have my moments.

In all honesty, I don't know EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but I do know that I SHOULD be looking. I'm pretty content with being single, BUT I do know that it'd be nice to have someone. I don't want to look back on my life 5 years from now and wonder if I should have done things differently.

Right now, I'm not looking for a serious relationship. I'd like to meet a fun woman I could hang out with, get to know, and just see where it goes from there.

I'm usually partial to woman who are physically active and have an athletic physique. That's not necessarily a requirement, usually that's what I'm attracted to initially -->because that's how I am; I work out often and I like to look good. I know, I'm vain. LOL.

But personality is vital. I like a girl that can laugh, has some sense of humor, is gracious, and just a nice, gentle soul. She should be ambitious, goal-oriented, and have passions in her life. She exists for herself, and is happy with herself. She doesn't need anyone or anything to make herself happy. Just being her makes her happy, and wanting to share that with someone is key.

I don't know. Depends on the person and what we'd enjoy doing together. I'm usually up for anything.
