Hows this for online dating “who am I/what am I lookin for “?

Question by csiders30: Hows this for online dating “who am I/what am I lookin for “?
Summing up who you are in 500 words or less. Sounds like an assignment I had once in middle school. But here I am. We both are. And there is nothing wrong with that (insert Jerry Sienfeld voice here). How can I not sound like im full of myself (im not) and still try and make you interested enough to find out what im like in person? Well, here goes…just gonna be honest. Quick, re-read that last statement. Yes, guys can be honest. Here I am. 36 (going to be 37 in October). Looks? You can judge from my picture. Its recent. Laid back when I need to be. Headstrong when I have to be. Been told i’m funny. Not in a ‘I make fun of peoples inadequacies” kinda funny. Not in a ‘im gonna try real hard to make it seem like i’m funny” kinda funny. Just funny. I like to talk. Re-read that bad boy again. Yes, a guy who likes to talk. I’m not a cryer who wants to have sharing sessions on the couch in front of the Lifetime movie of the week. But I can talk. The basics are these. Job(s) journalist, consultant, one time high school teacher and coach. But I dont think a job defines you. Not all teachers are ‘huggers’. There is more that I have accomplished in my life to make me who I am without my job or my house doing it. Favorite movie? Swingers. Back up? All the Presidents Men. Favorite book? A Seperate Peace. Kinda middle school, but I loved it every time I taught it. Back up: Into the Wild. Favorite football team? Browns (im from Cleveland) Family? Mom, younger brother. Both in Ohio. Dog? Yes. Married? Never have been. I believe in marraige. Just with the right person. Do I have kids? No. I love and want children.
So who am I looking for? A Diane Court-kinda girl. Dont know who it is? Google it and find out. But thats not looks. I’m mature enough now to know its so much better when you are with a girl who just wants to hang out then someone who wants you to tell her how great she looks. I heard once that its the best kind of relationship when you fall in love with a really good friend. The girl I want has to be her own person. She can be quirky and different. Thats great. A girl who lets me treat her like I want to. And likes that because she likes the way I treat her. A girl who appreciates me without feeling “owned”. Please dont smoke or do drugs. Want kids.
I’m not going to find this girl at a bar or a club. I know that. So here I am. You have to believe there are nice guys out there. I’m far from a pushover. I’m also not some guy that goes to strip clubs, drinks too much beer and never wants to commit.

Sounds good. I am not a believer in Internet dating – but like you said – you are not going to meet a quality woman in a bar.

Good luck to you!
