The directions for this section say that if I want to be successful and not waste my time, I should talk about what makes me unique. Here's something: I have a scar on my right knee from a childhood go-kart accident. Now the messages are supposed to roll in, right?

I prefer bare feet to shoes & socks, and I don't wear a tie if I don't have to. However, my job requires a tie (and suit coat during the winter) so I'm definitely comfortable with one. I'm getting tired of having to dig my car out after winter storms, and dream about having a condo on a beach where I can sit on the balcony and watch the sun set.

I prefer phone calls to texting, and I don't think I've ever LOLed or BRBed. I know the difference between "two" and "too," and I know that there are four letters in the word "your."

If I'd signed up for this site six months ago, my body type would have been A Few Extra Pounds. I'm working to get to Athletic. I don't enjoy working out, and don't understand the concept of running just for the heck of it, but it's impossible to argue with the results.

I'm not looking for a certain "type" of woman (I guess I'm now at that age where I no longer date girls). I enjoy making other people laugh, and I'd like a girl who isn't afraid to really enjoy herself.

If this were traditional dating, I'd offer to cook dinner and rent a movie. However, since I don't want you to worry about ending up as a story on the six o'clock news, something a little more public would probably be a better call. Unfortunately, it's winter so I can't suggest a ball game. How about dinner and a walk on the canal - possibly followed by some Panera hot chocolate?
