I love to travel, meet new people, and I will usually try anything once. I love my job as a teacher, and I love the girls I work with. I dont usually have opportunities to meet guys through work, and miss having a close group of guy friends. Finding a match would be great, but finding a cool person to hang out with would be just as good. I feel like the foundation to any relationship is friendship. My friends and family are very important to me because it is important to have people that you can always count on. I have a list of 100 things that I need to do in my lifetime. There are always things that we want to do, but its hard to hold yourself accountable. So I wrote down my top 100 and plan on sticking to it. Lots of it has to do with traveling or adventures like white water rafting, bungee jumping, scuba diving, or walking on the Great Wall of China. I lived in London for a short period of time. I traveled all over Europe when I was over there, and loved every second. I have wanted to go back because I really love visiting other places and seeing how people live.

Two thousand words isn't a lot for someone who likes to talk a lot. I'm shy when I first meet someone, but I'm quick to open up and get chatty. I think that comes from my love of radio and growing up as a middle child. As a middle child I ended up being the quirky kid sandwiched between two successful siblings, an elementary school teacher and a computer engineer. I have recently started working out on a regular basis for the first time in my life and am always looking for new things to try. Recently I've tried every class offered by the gym I belong to and Bikram Yoga with my roommate. I'd love to hear from you if you're looking to go out and experience the world. I have plenty of friends to spend time with but have been single for a little too long. I'd like to date someone who not only gets along with me but can be friends with my friends also and is a family person. I don't have a big family but my family is a big part of my life and they're opinions of who I date are very valuable to me. If any of this sounds good to you, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you!

| 12 Tips for Safe Online Dating |
| Monday, October 09, 2006 |
There’s a nervousness, thrill, and excitement that occurs when meeting a person for the first time face to face. Yet amongst the thrill, remember to always be on your guard when going out on a date with someone you barely know.
Here are 12 tips on dating safety to help you get started:
1. Arrange to meet him. Don’t let him pick you up from your home.
2. Meet in public places. If possible, double date or go out with a group of people.
3. Go dutch by paying half of the bill. That way you won’t feel under any obligation to return the favor.
4. Remember that alcohol affects your judgment and lessens your inhibitions. If you are drinking, keep your drink in sight at all times and don’t get so drunk that you don’t know what you are doing.
5. Use your own mode of transportation. And leave with a full tank.
6. Don't assume that a man is safe just because he claims to be religious.
7. Don’t let him know where you live. If you want to see him again, arrange a second date and then take it from there.
8. Avoid secluded areas such as parks.
9. Listen to your gut. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. And if you haven’t met him before, and you know at the beginning of the date that something doesn’t feel right, then leave immediately.
10. Always let someone else know where you're going and who you'll be with. You might even consider arranging a time to call and check in. Or you could arrange to meet up with friends later that night.
11. Give him your cell phone number instead of your home phone number (click here for why).
12. Always remain alert. Even if you’re having a blast and the chemistry is great, it’s a good idea to remain alert the whole evening. Make sure you have a cell phone on you.
Dating safely is very important. In the initial stages of dating, you are still getting to know someone you know little about. By creating a safe environment to know the person, you’re creating a better situation for you. |

| Women: Five Men You Should Avoid Dating |
|
The Mamma's Boy
This guy probably lives with his mother, if not close enough for her to pop in for tea (every night). She will have helped him pick out his decor and there will be photos of her all over his apartment. He goes for Sunday dinner and has several cartons of homemade meals in the refrigerator that mom made for him.
Why you should stay away: You will never live up to his mother and although he will love and cherish you forever he will take his mother's side every time.
How to get rid of him: Tell him you don't like his mother.
The Body Builder
This guy will have photos of himself on every available space, along with his own home gym (even though he has a life time membership at the swanky one in town). He has all the latest gadgets and home entertainment systems.
Why you should stay away: You will never see him as he is always down at the gym. He will spend more time in the bathroom then you. He collects trophies and likes one hanging off his arm.
How to get rid of him: Tell him to give up the gym for you.
The Womanizer
This guy will treat you like a princess and is the perfect lover. He dresses well and is out to impress and impress he will (every woman he comes in contact with). He will, of course, have trouble remembering your name, with all the women he has on the go.
Why You should stay away: His excuses for not showing up are getting more pathetic. You will have to compete with his phone as he has so many calls to return and text messages to answer.
How to get rid of him: Tell him, "I use to be a man."
The Workaholic
This man is going places, but will he be taking you with him? He is smartly dressed, has great taste in decor and eats at the finest restaurants. However, his work will always come first.
Why you should stay away: You have to make an appointment to see him. He will take you to elegant dinner parties then leave you with strangers while he talks shop.
How to get rid of him: Tell him, "I’m taking a year off to travel. Do you want to come?"
Your College Lecturer
He is probably older than you, more worldly and gets you a good grade.
Why you should stay away: If anyone found out about you, they would say you slept your way to better grades. Plus, he would lose his job and possibly his teaching position.
How to get rid of him: Tell him somebody is blackmailing you and if you don’t stop seeing him, they are going to report you.Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if "the body builder" knows how to give you the same type of attention he gives his body then this could potentially be a good thing (as long as you can handle other women trying to pick up on him). And if you are a workaholic that has no plans of changing then being in a relationship with another workaholic will allow the two of you to focus more on your careers while hopefully having some focus left for each other. If "mamma's boy" mom loves you and you can get the same focus from the man as his mom gives then just maybe... it's a stretch. Remember, it's doubtful any of these men will change so it's best not to try and change them.
A good approach to take in wanting out of one of these relationships is to be honest. This may gain more respect. Tell "mamma's boy" that he's too focused on his mom. Tell the womanizer that you only have room in your life for a man that only has room for you. It's doubtful that they'll change, but at least they'll know the real reason you don't want to pursue a relationship. |
