I read through the different profiles and I see so many people describing their own self. How do you know you are funny? Are you nice because you say you are or because others tell you? Do I put that I am I cute because I think I am or because Mom says so?

I am just me. You will never know what I am until you take a chance on me. I have many hobbies, things I will try, places I want to go, and so much more. I laugh, cry, drive, eat, fart, watch tv, take pictures, cook, watch birds, work, love, volunteer, serve, pee, help, sleep, burp, buy groceries, and do so many other things just like everyone else here. I am no better or worse than anyone else, just a person. If my imperfections bother you, then we probably won't get along. But my guess is you are just like me.

Looking for a friend who I can grow with and be good for and expect the same in return. You can't go anywhere until you have friendship. Hopefully I can introduce you to new things that you will enjoy and you will do the same for me. Then it goes from there.

By the way...don't be afraid to message me. And don't wait for me to be a "southern gentleman" and contact you first. Maybe I'm shy too. Maybe I am being polite and not bombarding you with sexual requests or asking how big your boobs are like half the other pervs here. Just maybe I am showing some respect and trying to be a nice guy. I open doors. I wash dishes. I cook. I say ma'am and sir. That's enough to me.

Also, I am an Aquarius. Apparently I didn't fill in the birth date on this thing when I signed up or if I did, I chose January 1 and that selected my sign. Now I can't change that because it says "You can change your birthday and gender within 2 weeks of signing up. After that it is assumed to be correct and can't be changed." Way to keep us down plentyoffish.com!!

I would like to discuss it with the other person first but ideally I would like a picnic in a park or dinner in a comfortable environment, not stuffy and formal. How often do real people actually get all dressed up to impress? I'd rather be me and you be you.
