I know my headline sounds pretty awful when you first read it, but hear me out before throwing your stones, lol. I have bent over backwards and done so much for the girls I have been with and in the end it just leaves me unhappy. It's not a relationship if you're unhappy, and left feeling like a shell of your former self. I'm willing to compromise, don't get me wrong. cause a relationship is after all a team effort, a partnership, and should never be one sided. All I am saying is...Take me as I am. Like me for who I am and who I ain't. I'm willing to do the same for anyone, all I ask is for the same in return. Quite honestly I don't think I'm asking for too much.

I know I'm young, but I want a good woman so i can get on with my life. I write for a living (magazines and websites) and I plan to go to school for business and writing. I know what I want in life and how to get it. I don't care if the gal I'm with has a direction in life or not, cause I understand that takes time to discover who you are and what want and what will make you happy. I currently don't drive, but that's not by choice. I have an eye condition that i'm currently trying to fix, so that I can drive again, sorry if that bothers you, but what can ya do except play with the hand life has dealt you. I have a lot of god kids,and I like kids, donno if I want kids or not. I bounce back beween the two ideas. I figure I'll sit down with the gal I decide to spend my life with and we can discuss it then.

I love watching movies of any kind once it has a good plot. I adore the out doors, and I am a creative and opinionated person, but I respect and accept people as they are. Please be someone who can hold a conversation and likes to talk.

I am sarcastic, I love Rock and HipHop. I love to laugh so if you don't have a sense of humor then you probably don't want to get to know me, lol.

I'm not perfect and I don't want to meet anyone who thinks they are.

I just want no lies, no secrets. I'll be honest with you if you are with me. My name is Ariel and I hope that you find this small excerpt of me as a person entertaining enough to want to get to know me better.

For a first date, I would grab a meal and lounge around getting to know one another, cause I love hearing other peoples' stories. Maybe a nice walk, and play it by ear.
