I recently moved to Charlotte from metro Detroit for a grad-assistant position.

I currently work in college athletics, but would like to get back into professional league after earning my MBA.

I HATE waking up early.

I like finding new music -- the "genius" feature on iTunes is INCREDIBLE! I like asking questions about cultural trends (how they'll change/develop) and trying to figure them out.

I don't take myself too seriously and don't have a problem being the butt of a joke. Laughing is super important. I'm a believer that educated people aren't offended by most jokes. Nothing is off limits: religion, race, politics etc. (Chappelle's Show anyone?)

I would like to avoid someone who:

1-Frequently uses "lol"

2-Is divorced/separated

3-Has children

4-Says their "family and friends are their life."
-----Duh, you schmuck. We all love our family and friends.

5-Has a picture of their pet included in their profile or says their pet is their child.
-----I love my dog. He's similar to a drunk friend. Sometimes he makes a mess with his bodily functions, he always wants to eat, and he usually ends up making me laugh. REMINDER: he is a dog. No matter how much you love your pet, keep it to yourself until someone asks.

6-Does not use proper grammar, spell check, or ends any plural word with "z".
-----Seriously, you hit one button, and all of these problems go away! There, their, and they're -- how do you graduate from high school not knowing the difference. Ending words with "z," what are you 12? Do you think it makes you sound hip or cute? FALSE. You're not going to attract an adult until you learn to talk like one.

I don't like saying it's a date. It puts pressure on both people and it gets weird. So, maybe we just "hang out," grab a beer and play the touch screen games at a bar.
