I've been in St. Louis for about 4 years - feels like I've barely scraped the surface. I moved from the beaches of SC, and this city is fantastic! There's always something to do here. This place has the best zoo I've ever seen, a great botanical garden, tons of parks, trails, jazz festivals, old & new history, you name it. Most people never give this place a chance.

I work in sales & management, but I didn't move 1000 miles to spend all day tied up. My happiness comes from getting to escape from that, and get back to the city I love. The springs here are great, & it's exciting meeting more friends to spend it with.

My most defining feature is my drive. That internal fire to achieve something, and when you make your mark, that fire gets doused - for a bit. Soon after it starts up again, pushing us to get to that next mark. It can be difficult at times, but it's a great quality to have. There's so much to do here, and most people lose that energy in their early 20's.

I'm looking for a young lady who still has that energy, has a foothold on life and is moving forward, and is looking for an "out-of-towner" to show around. I've gotten past needing a tour-guide, but I still hear about new stuff out here all the time.

So... even if YOU think there's nothing to do here, maybe I know something out here you don't. :p

An ideal first date? Dinner. Coffee. Anything that lets you talk. That off-chance that you click with somebody who you'd otherwise never have met, and maybe share a laugh with.

I find it unique that when you talk to somebody in those few minutes, it's amazing the impact you can have on making somebody's day.
