...I really do not believe that I can objectively describe myself. 'No light without shadow, and no shadow without light'. I am ambitious, yet occasionally I fail myself. I am versatile...yet sometimes painfully aware of my shortcomings. I try to be honest and yet I have lied on occasion. But I am sincere and believe that life is a challenge I should come to terms with to the best of my abilites.

...talk about my past and what I expect from my future...and hopefully get a similar response from my date....go from there, wherever fate will take us.
