Greetings viewer,

I am a unique individual as we all are. I have been on this website for a while and have been out on a few dates and thought it was time to re-write my profile so that I don't altogether sound like a looney. I have changed my FSM to Dating from long term because often I have come across people who are rather taken by the entertainment value of the site but not on what they seek. I think in some cases it is a bit much to expect a person to be in the ideal frame of mind because if they were, they wouldn't need to be here to find a date.

So where to start. My passion is writing, on and off I've been writing since I was taught it but I always loved writing stories and never really stopped. A passion of mine for a long time was the computer, I had studied many courses based on the subject but didn't find a huge reward from it so I moved away to more rewarding things. I've always enjoyed art (both seeing and doing) and photography. Walking is always a place I'm happy, it stimulates the mind and energises the body. I've done a fair bit of travelling but would still say I'm pretty much a novice traveller, I've been a fair few places in Europe and North America but no where particularly exotic just yet.

Where do I want to be? My future is not set, though I'd like to have my own place, a good job, a batch of loyal friends and someone to adore. I'm studying at Open University to try and work on the job front, getting closer to the deposit value I need but the friends and love are the two items that I've found difficult at the moment.

Who I am looking for?

Someone who has come to a conclusion on their past experiences.
Someone positive of thought and adventurous of spirit.
Someone looking for the real over the virtual.

What bands of acceptance do I agree?

Single
Separated (on the hard side of separated, not the soft side)
Divorced (but not bitter)
Widowed (and over it (though you could never forget))
Without Children (but not closed to the idea of having them in the future)
With Children (this is a complicated area however but I'm not closed to the idea if I find the love of my life)
Without Baggage
With Baggage (excluding previous drug abuse, debt problems, commitment issues, mania, severe depression, severe illness, disaffection by previous bad relationships)
Does not smoke
Smokes (but is making a conscious effort to quit, I have asthma)
T total
Rare / Social Drinker
Moderate Drinker (who knows their limit)
Low Maintenance
Medium Mainteance (but not a nag)
Without own business (unless they have a position for me because most of the chicks I've known running their own business don't have time for anything, its all consuming! Be honest)

If you've read thus far and still feel confident, get in touch. I don't think I'm a demanding person but I've come to a stage where I feel there should be some enjoyment in this process, that's what we are here for isn't it?

This area is open to debate.
