Target Dossier: 37 year old Caucasian female resides with a housemate in the bustling center of a small rural community. Commonly seen when out and about playing boggle, appreciating art & culture, figure drawing, movies, walking, canoing, and eating well. Travels frequently from hostel to 5 star style and has a great job that after 5 years still feels like â€I get to do this today!â€. Drives a car that is often a torrential mess but alphabetizes both her CDs and spices. Independent of the variety that would prefer to get a ladder than to ask someone tall to reach something but prefers a real back scratching to rubbing up on rough tree bark, bear style. Reads, cooks, gardens, balances a healthy life with hedonistic fun and continually learns new things.
Spy tool: Continually learning new things requires new stimulation and to be in different circles. Look at your watch. If you don’t have one pretend! Is it time for something new? Or is it time for something goofy, campy, ridiculous and trivial? Either way you’ll know what to do.
This message will self destruct with the yahoo account – please refer to documentation from yahoo for the exact timeframe.
I am still single and open to meeting people but have entirely given up on dating like this. It is too forced and subject to many a hurt feelings.
