Granite's Local Dating Service

Don't know what to say here...we can meet and discuss in detail!

Life is good and living is wonderful.
I love clean, Christian living - having fun with family and friends - going places - community events - so many things.
I'm friendly, loving, happy, easygoing and I think fun to be with.
I work hard at my job, so, I love to relax and play hard, away from my job.
I love romance, walks, water, fun games, football, fishing, camping, family get-togethers, church activities, concerts - gosh, I'm pretty easy to please!

Well im one of the few guys that are out there that is "a good guy". umm lets see here, i have no siblings, i love dogs, love hangin out and having a good time. umm not really sure what to say lol. if ya wanna know more just ask!!

I watch alot of horror movies, adn some comedy and kung fu ones. I have over 300 movies. I read alot. Mostly H. P. Lovecraft and Poe. Play video games sometimes and love to hang out anytime and just have fun. Im an art major and have drawn all my tattoos. I live in an apartment with my brother. I have a pet lizard. Its a bearded dragon. I have two piercings.

I am a young woman just trying to make a place for myself in this world. I am usually very, very easy to get along with. I enjoy all different types of people and places. I love to have a great time and be around people. I'm always up for anything; I don't mind getting dirty in both senses.
Im also a very tolerable person. I all i care about is if u have a good spirit and heart, fancy clothes dont mean anything to me. When you show me thats u can be cruel and inreasonable im done. I have no time in my life to deal with people like that. people who feed off drama stay away. I used to be a person like that but i saw what kinda road i was taking and didnt like where it lead. So i took a new one.

I like to throw a football and then go bake cookies, and I like to paint my nails while watching baseball. I'm made up of opposites. I love photography and ceramics, and I have a tendency to randomly burst into song. It could be any song, be it the last one I heard or just one I know from the past

My sense of hunor is very sarcastic so it comes off as me being a bitch sometimes. I usally dont mean it that way. i can be a bitch i cant help it i take after my mother. lol but i promise everyone that I am alway nice, polite and curtious....untill u piss me off.

I wanted to try a new way of meeting people, so I decided to sign up on here. I'm very big into music, listening to it, and playing it. I play guitar. I love being outside, fishing, swimming, walks, the list goes on. I'm that guy that can make everyone laugh, but I can be serious when the time calls for it. I love drawing/sketching.

First off I should probably not be trying to write a 'self-summary' at 6:30 in the morning. I am a geek I guess you could say, and many people have. I like video games primarily RPG styles. I like messing with my computer, mostly psp8 when I had it installed. Photography is a passion of mine, I like to capture images of things I find beautiful and share them with people. Unless Im at work my camera is almost always with me. Music has been a big part of my life, well always, some of my first memories involve music. I like art of most varieties (eh cant really think of any that I dont like *shrugs*) I would love to travel someday, especially to Scotland. I like to have fun, who doesnt though. I like to read a lot which Ive noticed a lot of people dont anymore, I also like to write. I love Animals, all that I keep right now are pet rats in the apartment, my cat and dog still live with my parents.

well i am easy going person i live life the fullest i try to do alot for peeps besides i work all the time i think to sum me up i am a mysterouis person if u want to talk mess me and u ask i tell u if u don't i won't thats me... i mostly a laid back person if i have the time of the day lol i try to have fun i don't want a boring life....

Hello my name is Arthur I'm here to make friends, and meet new people.To tell a bit about myself I'm generally a happy person, i try not to judge other for who they are i have a wide variety of friends. I'm straight edge, I like chinese, anime, martial arts, video games, swimming, D&D, and a lot of other things.

On a more deeper note.

I am a Christian, I do not claim a denomination. Not even non-denominational for the fact that if you do it then becomes a denomination. I just kinda think itâ??s funny how the Christian denominations will separate of the smallest differences, that really donâ??t matter. Instead of looking at the big picture or even looking at things a bit different. I also believe in chi / Qi / ki / energy manipulation, no not like in dbz. It is a bit different then that. I also wouldnâ??t mind learning reiki, massage therapy, aroma therapy and I wouldnâ??t mind starting yoga. I also would like to learn to garden so I may grow my own fruits and vegetables organically. I am also really into martial arts(ask me the name of my art bet you canâ??t pronounce it), iâ??m not the greatest at but iâ??m not the worst. I even taught for a few years, and I know I am a good teacher. I am also starting to learn tai chi, I enjoy that very much. Iâ??m also not looking to get married soon. I would rather know someone before that step, so maybe after being with them a couple of year I could. I donâ??t know, I would have to see. What I want to do with my life is go to school for business and open small town businesses. For those little towns that are like 15-20 miles from a gas station, or a grocery store. I might even start teaching martial arts again as a hobby, I donâ??t know I will have to see. As for what I want my personal life to be like this is what I would like, to live in a big house out in the country but not to far. Have a garden, raise a handle full of kids with my future wife. Just live out the rest of my life as a happy man. One last thing I would like to say is, I could care less what race you are, what path of faith you walk, gender, sexuality. If you want a friend that's cool I donâ??t judge.

UPDATE!!!!!!!! : I finally realized that I should just go for what I want in life. I should really just reach for my dreams. I would rather take martial arts, different ones across america. It would not be for a few years. I would be studying two in Illinois first. I would hope to study capoeira, kung fu, kali or eskrima, and pressure points. Then after all that maybe open a school. I am also hoping a couple of my cousins will be able to go with me and train. I am also hoping to find someone to be with in the mean time and nothing short term. Then I guess get married and have kids and be a happy man. I guess I can only hope for the best.

well my name correna and my boyfriend nameed is john. we are looking for a girl to be friends with and to hang out with and all that

I enjoy life, love helping people, and hope to share the next stage of life with someone who has a positive outlook. My viewpoint is that everything happens for a reason and there's always good that comes from whatever we've been dealt. Laughing a lot is very important. If you keep your sense of humor, you'll make it through anything. Family, friends, and a relationship with God give us joy. Hoping to find someone who has many interests and likes to have fun.

Well, since all the other sections delve a little more into my personality, I guess I will get the basic important stuff in here and sum-up my physical features. I'm 18 years old, with a funny disposition. I tend to curse a lot, so don't be offended, I just have colorful language. I'd love to meet guys, but I'm primarily here for females being that they are harder to find now-a-days. I'm 5'3 1/2'' with semi-short wavy/curly blonde hair and green eyes. I have my nose pierced on the left side, and my belly button pierced. I also have a tattoo of a flower on the inside of my right foot.

i'm a 40 y/o single mom of a 16y/o daughter. she is the most important thing in my life and always comes first. i've been single for almost a year after being with the same man for 16 yrs. m

Well lets see... There is not much i can put here. I love my job (for now). I like to go out and dance crazy, i have a huge obsession with my body mostly my abs. I love to change up my hair from long to short to mohawk whatever... I love to travel more than anything, just randomly packing up and going someplace, i want to see the world. My weakness is a smile, I love to smile at people for no reason what so ever. I'm loud when my brothers are around, I can offend anybody at anytime (dont tell me i cant), I love make peoples face turn beat red. I can be respectful when I need to be. I have a cruel sense of humor and love it? I can be the meanest person or the nicest person ever, just depends on who's day it is. I will do anything for a friend I mean anything.

I love to watch diesel sled pulls well lets just say anything regarding diesel performance. I like to be outdoors. I don't mind dancing just not very good. Board game are fun, and i like to watch movies.

I tend to be shy, maybe a little too shy most of the time. Very few people bring out the person I really am. I love to goof around at times. I am a work-O-holic as well. Which makes it hard for me to meet people while being shy as well.

I am a Professional Photographer. I've worked fashion shoots to weddings so I have the experience. When I work I tend to do things the right way, or my way. I have a small case of OCD with a little ADD. Try living with it,lol.

Wine is great!

Sushi is great!

I love animals, all animals. When I say "all," I mean "ALL."

Hello, I'm Emma. I love meeting new people and having a good time. I have my goals set in life, and I like for people to know what they want too. I like many different types of music, and movies. If you have anything to ask me, or want to talk to me, just talk to me, I'll talk back.

I am just an easy going, nice guy looking to meet some new and interesting people, and see what happens. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, and with my family. I enjoy doing things outdoorsâ?¦ boating, fishing, camping, or playing sports or going out and having a few drinks. It really does not matter to me, so long as it is fun. I enjoy my time away from home, but I also find as much enjoyment spending time at home doing stuff around the house, relaxing,and watching movies. I find comfort in the fact that over the years I have developed friendships with a very diverse group of friends.. Because of that, I believe that has helped make me the person I am today, and I am always looking to meet that next person in my life and the discoveries that result.

I am looking for woman that likes to have fun and enjoy life, but also has a serious side to them. I want someone that enjoys spending time doing whatever, someone that can spontaneous and willing to try different things. I am looking for someone that likes hanging out with friends, going out on the town or is just content with ordering out and watching movies at home. A woman that thats a little witty or even has a bit of a sarcastic side to them cam sure spark my interst..

I am interested in meeting someone that can have a conversation about anything, speak their mind and can be open minded about things too. I would want someone that has some direction in the life, not necessarily the rest of their life planned out, but someone that has it together. I know looks are somewhat important, but what really makes a woman stand out to me, is a fun personality, and a cute smile.

Name is Jay. I went to a training school for welding, and ended up working the grave yard shift at a wind power company as a security guard. What cool about my job is that I just set around, and make easy money. Also I work very hard to get were I'm at in life. I finally made it out on my own last fall, and living it. I love to just set around before work just play on my PSP video games or watch what is ever on HBO. Because I work in security I have weird set up with my days off. Which are normaly starts on Monday Morning and ends at Wedenday Night. If any one had work this kind of set they know it be very hard to go out to met someone. I'm here cause I tryed the rest, and don't want to settle for less then nothing. So like what you see hit me up here or on yahoo IM...

I feel that I am missing something in my life. I want to do a lot of things that I haven't had a chance to do before. I need a partner that would like to get out have fun and explore. I tend to be shy at first, but I have a wicked sense of humor and believe that most people have such unique personalities that it takes awhile sometimes to really get to know them. On the other hand I know there is someone out there who will take my breath away and make my life complete. I like to explore new places, and even though I haven't explored in a long time I am really looking forward to it as well as getting back into bike riding, horseback riding, camping, canoeing, hiking, tennis, etc. I want to try new things. I enjoy figuring out puzzles and like learning new things with someone who has the patience to answer billions of questions. Fast cars are fun, want to see if motorcycles, seadoos, and snowmobiles are too.

Um.. My name's Chelsea Anne, i live in the middle of illinois which pretty much sucks because they're a bunch of idiots basically but Im one of them.

im looking for my baby..

When people take time to get to know me they actually do love me. When people are mean to me I usually just act like it doesn't effect me but I'm dumb and it does..

I will blab to you about anything you want, but sometimes I'm really quiet..

I love art, and i love fashion, just don't have enough money to go out and buy everything lol. I really love music too.. I play guitar but not too well, wish I could be amazing at it.. I've made a couple ba songs "

I'm wanting to get the hell out of Illinois and the cornfields.. It's pretty some places but I don't really like it besides crusin out in the country..
Um if you don't like my friend Mary Jane then don't even talk to me because I will probably just yell at you :

I like older guys.. because I can't stand immature boys.
I'm a smart ass... I like to jump and dance around with my friends, but haha I've left them all for this gay town :\

I'm pretty crazy.. not crazy like nuts but crazy like you meet in your dreams :
I'll pretty much bet there's nobody like me..

I usually talk a lot when I get to know you, and I like to debate on a lot of things.

I'm searching for the one guy that tugs at my heart, that I can't get out of my head, that there's nothing more than. He'd never yell at me, we'd just be happy for as long as we can live..
He'd pick me a flower, write me a cute note, anything just to know he's for me.

I've been torn apart quite a bit, even marriage was in my young head with someone, but he left me for somebody else the next week, after 2 years of dating, but I guess he's just not the one. The worst pain you could deal with is heartache.

I love music, smoking some green and turning up the volume is the best +

I never know what to put in these things, the best way to get to know me is to ask me anything and I'll answer your questions.

looking to meet new people in my area will send pic if requested

Well I'm never sure what to say on these things. Basically, I'm Leah, of course. I am 17 and I go to Riverton High School. Im trying to savor my last year of high school before I get thrust into the real world of being an adult lol. Believe me I am fully aware of that reality. But for now Im just trying to live my life to the fullest and get out and have fun. I can't go a day without singing or painting something and I would love to study psychology/art therapy in college. Then I could do what I love and help people at the same time. Who could ask for more?

I'm the dad of the most wonderful, brightest, most perfect, and most beautiful 13 year old girl ever in the history of the universe (not that I'm biased or anything).
I'm in the IT field, working for a church, actually. I'm a photographer. Occasionally, I'm a writer. I'm a voracious reader of almost anything I can get my hands on, although I'm partial to fantasy, science-fiction, mysteries, and photography books. I'm an avid baseball fan in general and St. Louis Cardinals fan specifically.
According to OK Cupid I'm more Republican than most OK Cupid users which is weird because I've been voting Democrat since 1992 and am a staunch supporter of Barack Obama, even did a little campaigning for him, never did that for anyone else. I'm a parrothead. I like camping and canoeing, although I don't get to do them nearly as often as I'd like.
I love to laugh and will take things seriously when I have to, but that's no fun! :)

lets see... my name is Tim I went to high school in Riverton. I have a laid back but crazy type of personality. I like people watching in public and making strangers feel awkward hahaha, but at the same time i like to chill and just watch movies too depending on what im feeling. I also like to exercise and be active!!

Lets see here. Im new to IL from NewOrleans LA. Easy going very layed back. Just looking for someone to get to know........Mike

I am a very happy woman looking for that special someone to enjoy life with. I love music, TV, the outdoors, cuddling, kissing, holding hands, my family and my friends.

I am a fun loving, respectfule person. I am farm boy at heart and like anything to do with old farm stuff. I can be spontaneous, love to go places and do things. A weekend day road trip is always a fun thing to do. I try to stay active. like to try new things, try to to find the positive in any situatuation.
I can be a great freind and will do anything for anyone.
I have 3 kids and 5 grandkids and they are the world to me, they come first in my life.
Not sure I am looking for a realationship right now, am looking for great friends and see where it goes from there and if I find a great friend that I really connect with, where it goes from there????? Will wait and see where it goes.

A brief summary of myself would be:I like to enjoy life as much as possible.For I've come to realize in recent years it is very short.

I am a college student who is looking for a fun person to spend time with. I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors and exercising.

In order to keep up a conversation there has to be a balance of questions from both parties, so if you message me and we end up messaging back and forth and you just answer questions and never ask them then I'm going to think that you don't really want to get to know me and that you are just trying to be polite by answering my questions. Also, I'm a BITCH and will call you out, its a nasty little habit. I don't make sense to the average person, I say unbelievably inappropriate things which is why I don't have very many friends but the friends I do have, I would die for and they're all I'll ever need. I love my family a whole lot but I don't always show it. Books make my world go round, I will eventually have my own publishing company in Chicago, Illinois. I am determined to stay in the midwest where dating is limited. Hence my paragraph attempt at getting your attention on this lovely website. Enjoy.

My name is Tyler. I am an Atheist, a Democrat, and I'm proud of it. I'm really outgoing and fun to be around. I tend to work a lot, and that usually takes up a lot of my time. I live with a few of my best friends, two of which are Pug dogs. I want to get a Siberian Husky soon! I'm slightly clumsy, but I love to dance, draw, and sing also. If you want to know anything else about me, just ask.

Honestly? I'm tired of people not seeing how incredible I really am.

I'm almost a totally different person than the guy who signed up for this site, so a rereading of the profile is definitely encouraged.

I have a genius I.Q. and can go anywhere from above-average to NEED SOME in the looks department depending on the time of day and effort involved. I will surprise you in many, many ways, but none of them give a stalker or creep vibe; so don't worry.

I will not try to impress you, because most of the people who just wait to be impressed arent' the type of people I want to meet. That being said, I'm

I DO KNOW who I want to meet. I have a list of about ten things that you may or may not fit into. NOT all of them may be good or even required. So if you have any inkling at all that you're interested or I'm interested. Go for it.

i am 21 years old. Love to hang out with friends, meet new people and have a good time! i work in the medical field. currntly in a lab. and if you wanna know more just ask!!

Just trying to fulfill the one hundred character minimum. Let's see, what else can I say? Oh, I'm there.

The names Janelle. I am eighteen years young. I love to have good time. I like to party but I dont make it a habit. I love horseback riding.. I have one horse..her name is Belle she is a tennessee walker. I love going four wheeling. Especially muddin. I am an easy going person but can be very opinionated at the sametime. I love tattoos. I have two of them. I can be silly at times. but serious when needed. I even though at times I can be silly I consider myself to be very mature for my age. I have been through alot for being only 18. and if I have made it through that much so far. I can make it through anything. and succeed at anything I please too. I am very strong willed and confident. If you want something, you have to fight for it. I have just come to realized life is what you make it and its not gonna be easy.

Nice, smart, educated, cute. I think I am good looking, energetic and full of life. Something characteristic to me is when I am doing something I am doing it to perfection. I am a sporty guy, I like to practice sports and to keep in shape.I am interested to meet a lady with the age over 18. She must be inteligent, wise, attractive and dynamic . I will tell you more if you are intersted. I will return the message or chat if you are serious minded and if I will consider that we are on the same page. It is easy to get in touch with me but I am also picky and wise when it comes to get involved in a relationship. Anyway, no matter what I say in my profile or what you have to say in your profile a realistic opinion can't be made only based on these statements, but rather after a personal discussion or eventual meeting

Well, I am a software programmer and here for friends and activity partners. I am looking for a girl who is simple cute and friendly.

I AM MARRIED FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR TEN YEARS. MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE TO GET CLOSE TO ME FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. I LIKE TOO COOK AND I AM RETIRED. I AM NOT OLD FOR 59 YEARS OLD; A LITTLE OVER WEIGHT NOT MUCH.

Well as you can tell my name is Daniel. i am goin to college to get my associates in criminal justice. i live in a small town, i am in illinoig but as of the spring i will be movin to alabama,.I am always lookin to have some fun. I do like to go AND just have fun...but I also like to chill with friends and just relax... If you want to know anymore message me.. if there's anything else "About Me" that you wanna know, just ask.

oh yeah and i love music and hanging out, building and talking and also doing crazy things, i also love philosophy, i like to think of myself as a philosophical person, i like tea and films, dont matter what type.

I'm a country girl 100 %...I love mudding and the outdoors..I love the following sports baseball basketball football.. i love to party and drink..I spend alot of my time with my family and my best friends whenever i can..I also love to go shopping

I'm not a country boy, but I like the country lifestyle. I'm not a geek, but I like playing on the computer. I'm not a push over, but I hold the door for everyone, not just women. I'm not extremely outgoing, but I'm also not extremely shy either. I'm not good at flirting or pick-up lines, but I am good at treating you with respect.

I am pretty laid back and I like keeping things simple and drama free. I spend most of my time thinking about, and/or doing something related to racing. I also enjoy watching Basketball, Football, and some Baseball, but racing is where my heart is. :)

I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. I know... I'm lame... or maybe I just don't feel the need to do any of those things to enjoy myself. I don't mind someone who drinks, or mind going to bars to hang out... just plan on me doing a lot of throwing darts or shooting pool and not any drinking. :)

I'm a wuss when it comes to being cold, but aside from winter time I love being outside. Camping trips, fishing, hiking are all things I don't usually do but would love to do with the right company. I can have fun doing almost anything, and am willing to try just about anything at least once. I don't have to have ALL the same interests with someone to enjoy spending time with them. Just the willingness to try each other's interests that we don't have in common.

It would be nice to find someone who can be honest, sweet, yet still put me in my place when I need it :) Obviously some sort of physical attraction has to be there. I wouldn't expect someone not to be at least slightly attracted to me at least. However, there has to be more than that... I want the entire package. You can be gorgeous as all get out, but if you don't have substance... then whats the point?

There's really nothing that interesting about me!! I am from Chicago, I did my undergrad at Loyola university. I graduated from medical school from SIU School of Medicine. I currently live in Springfield and will be sticking around here for awhile longer to do my residency in family medicine. Then I will have to decide if I am going to stay in Springfield or return to Chicago.

Hobbies?? Hmmm....
I love photography! If i wasn't doing the doctor thing i would be traveling the world to get the best damn photographs! Love to shoot (in order) kids (especially at play), sports (do you know how hard it is to capture the exact right moment?), and pets (its difficult--they just don't cooperate--even worse then kids!) Not the biggest fan of landscapes but occasionally take them when something moves me. Then of course just the things I want to remember forever and add to my scrapbook.

Ummmm lets see what else?

Reading (as long as it's not for school--murder mysteries, court room drama, etc....!!!)

Scrapbooking, watching movies, baking, rockband and singstar, Wii

My favorite sports to play are softball/baseball, volleyball and football, but I'm always up for a game of anything except golf I hate golf--I suffer from PTSD from a round of golf I once played--but mini golf and disc golf are cool.

I really don't like to watch many sports on tv. Unless of course its a big important game (ie. Bears in the Superbowl, or Cubs or Sox in playoffs :-)) I will go watch any game though, any sport, any level of profession--even little league (if I know one of the kids of course.)

I like adventure stuff like skydiving (might finally go at the end of the summer), scuba diving, bungee jumping, horseback riding, etc.....

I love going dancing. My favorite music is hip-hop but hey, if I can shake my butt to it I will listen to whatever. I am addicted to salsa/latin dancing--its just too bad that there isn't much of that going on here in the springpatch.

Other then that I'm a pretty laid back girl just looking to have fun when my crazy life allows for it :-)~

Hi! I would like to meet a girl that appreciates nature, likes to camp and watch some sports. I am a romantic...and kissing is a art! Not into games or lying. I have a carreer position with the state-21 yrs now, nice home and a camper with lots of things to share, just need someone to fill in the gaps. I have a dog, bird, fish and a cat as pets. I have two absolutely wonderful boys, one that lives with me (16) and one that is 22. I am pretty much Mom and Dad to both. I try to learn something new each day and relate that to my kids as often as possible. I enjoy photography, camping, cooking, astronomy, kids, pool, hot tubs, nature, music and long deep inetlligent conversation. Love to travel and go to new places. Love humor and teasing.

My name is Max and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is I want from life. I think I've got a pretty good bead on it now, as opposed to a couple years ago. I know what makes me happy and I know that's what I want the most.

I like to laugh and I like to make people laugh - I'm a pretty laid-back, non-serious, goofy guy really, even though I might not come off that way here.

"I prefer to lead a different kind of life. I sing, dream, laugh, and go where I please, alone and free. My eyes see clearly and my voice is strong. I'm quarrelsome or benign as it suits my pleasure, always ready to fight a duel or to write a poem at the drop of a hat. I dream of flying to the moon but give no thought to fame or fortune. I write only what comes out of myself, and I make it my modest rule to be satisfied with whatever flowers, fruit, or even leaves I gather, as long as thy're from my garden."

I'm Gary. I like to party, although that is apparently a turn off to some people...Old people. I play loud, fast music. Playing loud, fast music has taken me all over the United States and to Europe and Puerto Rico. My septum ring makes me scary to some people edit: I lost my septum ring on tour. The hole shrunk up a little bit, but I can still fit jewelry in it if I wanted to..

I'm in the midst of "No Shave '09." The last time I shaved was December 27, 2008. I don't plan on shaving until January 1, 2010. However, by that time, I may have an emotional bond to the hair on my face and not shave it off. I've also only had my hair trimmed 1 time in the last 3 years. I've got a very hairy head. (UPDATE: Shaved my beard 01/16/10. Don't be too sad, it'll be back. Plus, I still have a sweet mustache!)

I've got 3 drum sets. They are my pride and joy.

I like to feel like I live my life to the fullest. I make the most out of everything I do and I try to not get down about little things that don't matter.

I don't hate EVERYONE, but if we were in elementary school and we were practicing rounding, I would definitely have to round up to everyone. (Please don't be put off by this. I usually have a good reason for my "hate" towards people. Usually)

On that note, the few people I don't hate are the coolest people in the world. (They would have to be, right?) If you think you're even close to as cool as them, you've got a lot of proving to do.

I believe first impressions are very important. I'm a pretty good judge of character.

My little sister got knocked up before I knocked anyone up. This still comes as a shock to me.

My other little sister is straightedge. Not as much of a shock. She's a good kid.

I spend equally as much as I make. Meaning I get my bills paid, but I don't have tons of extra money. I get by though. When I do have extra money, I spend it. I'm an impulse buyer. Ebay is my enemy.

I've got 3 really awesome dogs. They're boxers named Charles (Chuck) Norris Brown, Lucille (Lucy) Ball Van Pelt, and (A.C.) Slater.(If you understand any of those names, you just got cooler.) They are cooler than you. Hell, they're cooler than me. Way cooler than you though.

I'm very convinced that I'm never going to get this stupid profile 100% complete because I'll never get to 1000 words. Ever. (<---This paragraph just pushed me over 1000 words. How awesome is that?!)

I'm a jeans and stileto type of girl. A little traditional with a lot of femininity. I enjoy travel, wine, shopping, and movie nights.

ok well i hate trying to describe myself in one of these things cause there is way too much to say. i am definitely unique. im very smart and a little bit crazy but i really just like to have fun. im probably one of the most straight forward people you will ever meet. i believe in always being honest and not playing games with people. im really laid back for the most part and really hate drama and will run from it. i do have a son but there is none of that baby mamma drama here. so im not sure exactly what im looking for in a girl. but i know i want to find someone to be with. not sure really what to expect looking around on a dating site but hey whatever lets see what happens.

My name is Courtney. I just turned 20. I am a normal girl trying to live a normal life. I love to go out and have a good time. I am a very outgoing person and love to meet new people all the time. I play the guitar and love itt. I also play basketball and softball. I work out every day to stay in shape and love to run. I absolutly love the beach and could stay there forever. I dont like people who think they are better than others. I love guys who have tattoos and piercings. Very nice ;) But other than im an open person so ask me anything and ill probably answer.
soooo go to youtube and type in teandlw ....these two girls are my best friends :) goood videos lol

FIRST OF ALL if you want to talk i have a myspace as well which is-www.myspace.com/505523239.My name is Clayton,Im 19 years old,and i live in Springfield IL.I weigh 178 lbs,have brown hair,hazel eyes,and im into rock music.I love hanging out with friends and just drinking every once in a while,maybe go out on the town :).I have had bad relationships in the past and i am looking for a woman that isnt afraid to express herself and her feelings,im looking for someone true and i want someone that i can spend time and do simple little romantic things like walking and talking,laying under the summer and fall skies,and soooo many other things:)...if you want to get to know me better then just message me.

I actually live in Decatur, not Springfield. I am a fun loving girl. I am happy & outgoing all the time. I love to meet new people, go new places & do new things. I do not like liars. I love my job. I have tons of friends & the reason I did the on line dating thing is because one of my friends has harrassed me since I got divorced last time. I don't think it's for me, but you never know. She is sick of me dating guys who are not right for me. She sees it even before I do. I have no interest in getting married again, but I would like to have a regular boyfriend who I don't want to kill. I have a huge family. We are evidently breeders. Not me, I only wanted one & that's what I got. Long story behind that. I love my family very much even though they drive me nuts part of the time.

My name is Lora....Im 20 years young...start the countdown haha!! I recently started going to nursing school. I love just hangin out and livin life!I try to stay really positive throughout life...its really fuckin hard sometimes but it always pays off. Always willing to help a friend in need of my help or advice. Im a really easy going person with big hopes for the future.

About me!!! Hmmm...I hate this stuff. Let's see, I'm 35...ugh! Thankfully I still look younger than all my friends!! LOL! I have a son who is awesome. Not sure what I'm looking for right now. Message me and see what happens!

"you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..." John Lennon

I've always wanted to be an astronaut, and of course I still want to be. But the work...the work! I'm interested in science, physics, math, biology, geology. And if I can't go to space I would love to be a marine biologist because being underwater is one of the most calming expierences. I love taking goggles to the lake in the mountains and just diving in and watching the fish. Everything is still and silent and you can barely see anything it's very surreal.

And stranger still, I love metaphysics. I volunteer for the metaphysical center of NJ and used to take place in a church called the journey within(a spiritualist church) but no longer do because its on sunday mornings and I am at work massaging old men. Not just their muscles but there delicate ego's as well. I do massage therapy at the Y and I do love it but it drains the life from you, sometimes I come home and fall asleep on the floor.

When I'm not working I'm usually hiking or swimming. I love the rough climbs to the top of the mountain, baked with sweat, vessels beating with serotonin, legs burning...Mmmm yes. And finally it comes a nice breeze, the view stretches for miles, you're on top of the world and all you want now is...is some more water. This is such a nice feeling...it makes me feel better, you know being above it all. When you're in it...you're in it, neck deep in quick-shit. But when you're up there everything seems so minuscule, like nothing in the world matters...everything is so tiny.

I also enjoy going to diners and talking. Talking to waiters and waitresses that intrigue me. I guess I enjoy driving but I would much rather be a passenger seat driver in long-nowhere-road trip.

I've been sky diving once, I just went this month in August 09'. And I would gladly do it again in a heartbeat.

Well, Hello. I am a single dude here in Springfield that is looking for a better way to meet people, as Iâ??m sure is the case for you. I am 32 and I enjoy my work, exercising/cycling, a drink or two in the evening, and dam good conversation.

I am a Navy veteran who moved back to Illinois after my service, graduated from the U of I and got a job here in Springpatch about 5 years ago. I enjoy what I do and who I am and am looking forward to what the next step is for me.

I'll just be real with you! I can have sex with anybody...but I can't fall in love with just anybody. I'm willing to take the time to get to know you and allow you to get to know me. I'm looking for a friend first. Someone who won't play any games. Time is precious and short...

I love having fun. Whether it is going out and partying or just sitting at home watching movies. When I am home I admit to being a bit of a nerd. I love reading and drawing. If I can get my puppy to calm down long enough to do either.I absolutely love shopping and getting my nails done. I am pretty high maintence and believe no one should leave their house unless they look completely put together (no sweats or jammies outside). I can be a bit spoiled sometimes so if thats a problem then its time to say byebye. I love being that way a don't tend to change for anyone. I am really shy when I first meet people and have been mistakenly called a snob. But when you get to know me that's so not true unless of course I don't like you. I love being goofy and have a lot of energy. I love watching UFC and football.

Well I have two kids and not much time. I have a hard time trusting people after one of my former girlfriends cussed my 3 year old daughter. I am a very easy person to get along with and love animals even the cold bloooded ones.
