I have a boyfriend. He's rad. My friends even think so. WOW! But I do get a lot of questions as to how I met such fine fella in probably one of the most difficult cities to have a solid relatioship. Well I will tell you: I got him off the internet.
After a year hiatus off of dating and what-not, I took matters into my own hands and joined a few of those dating sites. From the advice of a
good friend "It beats meeting dudes in bars", I just said f*ck it. I actually had a really good experience even though I wasn't necessarily comfortable with the idea, a romantic at heart. So I thought I would share my online profile and how I scored! ENJOY!
PS Once he lets me, I will share some of his artwork here and maybe hopefully his architecture and design.

More About What I Am Looking For:
I'm gonna be straight ya'll, if you don't ride bikes, you don't have a job and you can't open the door for me when we hang out, NEXT! No seriously. I work really hard and I play really hard and I would like to meet a dood who can keep the pace and who is clever, funny and confident and has a nice group of friends too. Friends are really important, I got lots of them and they are a big part of my life, so you should definitely be social and outgoing! Also, it would be nice too, if your psychotic ex has already been put away somewhere, I have had enough of the death threats already. And no, I don't want to be in a threesome because "it will be fun" and no, I don't want to snort rails off your ass "you sure?" and no, I don't think collecting clown figurines puts you in touch with your "feminine side". Shit's creepy.
I am also big fan of fashion, so if you are wearing (look down) no and I mean, yea, I know you can change them, but NO PLEATED PANTS. Coaching shorts, yes! I put effort into mah looks, and so should you! When I look mah best, I feel mah best!
PS Using a shoelace from an old pair of chucks and tying it around your head is not sharp-looking nor does it make you outrageous and bohemian in appearance. It's just a dirty string around your head.
Just sayin'
And don't hotlist me bitches! It makes me think you're hesitant! The winking creeps my shit out too!
But, at the end of the day, I just want someone to ride bikes with."
