Waynesboro's Local Dating Service

I love to cook. I enjoying being outside. Playing and watching soccer, football, tennis, swimming, basketball. I enjoy hiking and camping. I graduated in May with a degree in communications. I will be moving to the Harrisonburg area where I dont know anybody so please contact me so I can meet new people and hopefully start up a relationship. I have been out of the dating game for a few years now. Ive been trying to date but im to shy at the start of conversations so I have a hard time approaching girls. I am attending Valley church in Harrisonburg.

I find just about anything that requires thought to be interesting. It's not uncommon to find meDancing to loud music in my living room at any time, singing has been a pastime since i could talk, writing comes more naturally sometimes more than others, observing comes so naturally i don't even know i'm doing it, and i never want to stop learning. I'm a libertarian, politically. I don't believe in policing people's personal freedoms with useless rules and big-brother laws. Socially, I mingle with a vast array of personalities, finding that each individual has something to offer in my quest for growth and information. I believe there is so much to say that maybe you should learn more through some conversation... Right now, Im feeling like I'm in transition about what I'm looking for in a relationship. I'm feeling a little stale of the expectations and pressures that men have been putting on me and never wanting to build an emotional relationship, first. So, know that I am sincere about trying to make a real connection with someone. ATTN: I am relocating to the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the end of February. Moving to Waynesboro, that is.

Loving divorced father. Reliable,secure,intelligent and well traveled. "Younger appearing and acting they say" I'll let you be the judge. Divorced for 4 years...looking for a companion. Likes outdoors...born and raised in the mountains in Virginia. A gym rat (we had a brand new YMCA near the house when I was a kid)

I'm single and looking,have a good job at local pool company.I like 2 go out,sometimes,eat,have a cpl drinks or w/e,listening 2 some bands,maybe dance(don't know how).I like watching movies,prefer watching them at home,relax and cuddle.I like rockandroll,some rap,a lil country.I work out on my free time, or play games on computer.I like hiking,camping,traveling.I like doing just about anything really.

I am a mom of two girls. They are number one in my life. If you can't deal with hyperactive ADHD but sweet kids, don't bother. Also, if you can't have a coherent conversation including punctuation and generally good spelling ( I can't type some days either), I'm not interested. I am looking for people who understand that the sexiest place on a woman's body is between the ears.

Thank you for your interest, but i am not much of a country boy. Not much on rodeos, nascar, and new country music. I love music, and have seen many live performances. Do to childhood leg injury, and recent hip replacement, my marathon running days are over. But i get around well, without assistance, and love to dance.
I am spiritual, but not a fan, of organized religion. Eastern beliefs, interest me, but don't know much about them. Politically, i am liberal on social issues, but lean right on economics.

*Update*
My life has been filled with so much change that I have failed to dedicate enough time to update my profile on okc. As of now I have returned home from Africa in March and separated from the military in May. I am now back home preparing to start school in January full time along with finding a career.

Not going to take much time on this portion, because if anyone is interested in knowing more than message me. As of now I am deployed to Africa with the military where I travel to different countries rebuilding them. My long journey of six years in the military ends in march when i return home and I can't wait for that major change in my life!

I enjoy:
-watching MMA/UFC(mixed martial arts)
-indie/art-house films
-video-games and logic-puzzles
-computers/technology
-TV(Colbert, Daily Show, Lost, Dexter, Deadwood, Mad Men, Robot Chicken, South Park, The Shield, Breaking Bad)
-documentaries(Science, Biology, the universe, Anthropology, Theology, the world, etc, etc)
-Texas Hold'em poker with friends
-science fiction type stuff
-cooking

All of the fun, the boring, the unique...

Me:
I am calm, laid-back, level-headed, kind, tech-head geek. :) I have a good work-ethic and a stressful job, so I like to completely relax at home. I live a self-sufficient life, trying to be a humble person, and am self-aware. Even though I am quiet and laid-back, I am very friendly, competitive among friends, and can sometimes be very talkative.

Friendship/Relationship:
I am looking for friends to share life with. I believe a great long-term relationship starts as a solid friendship, with common interests. If only a solid friendship is born, great! If something deeper develops, even better! A long-term relationship with a best friend is at the root of my search, but finding new friends is always a good thing as well.

Finances:
I try to be financially responsible, make good life-decisions, remain debt-free, and plan for the future. I tend not to buy a lot of miscellaneous items, and instead try to buy only stuff that is needed. I favor function over style, and do not get caught up in the buy, buy, buy game.

Religion:
I do not put weight in organized religions, but I do respect other people's beliefs/religions, as long as those beliefs are not forced onto others. I am a kind and moral person, trying to live life by The Golden Rule.

Drugs/alcohol:
I am drug/alcohol-free, and am looking for a partner that is drug-free and in control of any drinking.

Family:
I love family, but do not have alot of family in the immediate area. A few visits a year to family is very enjoyable. I welcome other people's family as well. But for people not close to their family, I understand and respect that as well.

Some friends describe me as:
1: loveable, trustworthy, easy-going, responsible
2: honest, thoughtful, intelligent, patient, good cook, helpful

Three longtime co-workers describe me as:
1: funny, nice, helpful, knowledgeable
2: intelligent, trustworthy, diplomatic, empathetic/caring
3: fair, friendly/outgoing, dedicated/thorough, pleasant

My family describes me as:
1: even-temperament, fair-minded, extremely helpful/careful, responsible

I admire someone that:
...is humble, but is not a victim.
...is in control of their life.
...takes pride in their job, whatever it is.
...solves problems instead of complains about problems.
...appreciates what they have.
...is an inherently good soul, but thick-skinned enough to not be easily offended by the varieties of life (language, rougher movies, etc).
...has a hunger to learn about some sort of aspect of the world around us.

Key components I am looking for are:
-responsibility
-kindness
-level-headedness
-emotional intelligence.

A good chunk of geekiness/nerdiness/dorkiness is a plus! (*almost* a must)

Bonus points if you work in the fields of science, research, biology, engineering, computers, networking, programming, or technology.

Ideally I am looking for someone that also enjoys a quiet home life, though is willing to explore and enjoy all that life offers outside a good home. Or if you don't enjoy a quiet life yourself, but have no problems with your partner (me) enjoying a generally quiet-ish life, and we meet somewhere in the middle to share life, that works as well.

Age does not matter to me, younger or older. All that matters is that we see something in each other that we enjoy, and want to share life together. One of my favorite movies, Harold and Maude, is a great example where age is not a boundary.

I am looking for a relationship where we share life together, teaching each other what we know, exploring each others hobbies, not stepping on each others enjoyment of something we both don't enjoy, and being respectful and cautious of all things financial (basic fiscal responsibility). I look forward to us working as a team and coming up with great ways to experience life together.

Random #1
I love rainy, overcast, or cool days.

Random #2
I try to recycle, compost, and conserve water whenever I can, to start lessening my impact on the earth. Next step will be starting some basic gardening of favorite vegetables. Small steps, hopefully leading to bigger steps.

Thanks for looking. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a 25 year old male. I love pretty much every kind of outdoor and indoor activity. I'm pretty laid back, but on occasion I've been known to exhibit my spontaneous side as well. I enjoy listening to a wide variety of music with the exception of country music. I will give you a small PSA: I suck at dancing. However, that doesn't mean that I won't try, so watch out if I hit the dance floor. lol. Not to stereotype myself, but I am also an automobile enthusiast(as you may be able to tell from my profile picture). Perhaps it's just a guy thing. I love to make others laugh. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things.

My name is Tommy. I'm 25 years old, single, and I got out of the Army last August. I have blue eyes, dark brown hair, two tattoos, one on the back of my neck and the other on my right bicep, and one piercing (left ear). I'm smart, funny, love the outdoors, i.e. playing basketball, street racing, going to the beach, theme parks, hanging with friends and family, and just being myself.

Well i'm 6'1" Black Hair Blue Eyes 236Lbs. I like doing alot of stuff. Like watching movies. Going out to eat. Talking to friends. Making new friend's is the best part of life. Spending time with family is very important to. I take life day by day and never try and get ahead of my self. Trust is also a big part of life. I hope that people will accept me for who i am and not what they think i should be. I try and get along with people because it is not right to disrespect people. Life is short but still i try to just take it day by day. I'm not looking for a one night stand. The best type of relationship is honesty, trust, and not judging a book by it's cover. I like to slow dance and listening to music. I'm romantic.

So even a simple edit requires an essay?
I feel like I'm back in school.
I'm just checking the site out, I'll fill this out later.

Isn't this part the most fun? You get to try to describe yourself honestly and do it with a positive spin. So here goes, probably more honest than positively spun:

I'm a law abiding rebel with authority issues.
I'm serious and silly.
I hate to miss a party or a good night's sleep.
I like wine, bourbon and beer but not being drunk.
Into fine foods but dieting to become healthy.
When a boss tells me to work smarter, not harder, I wonder if the boss thinks I'm stupid but not lazy?

Worked for the same company for the last 16 years, have a home, a car, and very little baggage.

Just a simple man with a simple plan. And want to meet a true lady that takes care of herself and knows what she wants in life and works towards getting it.Im outgoing a people person must say.Im always up for a adventure and I love to be around people but i believe there is a time for 1 on 1 to. Im in my prime so yes i do like having sex daily and if not daily then atleast every other day. No I dont sleep around with anyone very cautious when it comes to that so I really need to find the right person so i can settle down with and have sex and do things with.I seperated and have two daughters that are my world and just know that they are going to be in my life always

I'm a 22 year old sales associate/EMT I like the emergency health care field but havent broken into it as far as a career goes just yet but hopefully in the future i can. People say im funny but when it comes down to it im a great listener I think that helps alot in the emt field since most people really are scared more than hurt and it help them more if your willing to listen and make them comfy. I like to whatch dvds of tv shows since i never catch them when they air plus NO COMERCIALS! lol. Theres really not much to say but if you have a question just ask i'll answer.

Hey what's up? I am 23 years old and I am stuck in a small town. I'm really into movies, music and art. I am crazy and out going when the mood strikes me but not all the time. I use to be a party animal and I have slowed down the past couple of years. I am a pretty spontaneous person which usually takes me on adventures all the time. I try to find beauty in everything I see which isn't always that easy. I use to have a ton of friends in High School (which feels like forever ago) but now I only have a hand full of great friends. Who I would take a bullet for (probably only in the leg though).

I am a single, secure man who wants to meet someone special. I get along with most people. I can't stand mean people. I don't like to surround myself with negativity. I love peace. I enjoy the out doors. It is getting ready to be nice everyday mostly soon and I can't wait. This winter has been long enough. It would be great to have somebody to spend time with on these nice days to come. I am a pretty mild manners guy. I treat people with respect as I hope they do me. Hit me up if you wanna chat or who knows?

I don't really know what to say about myself. I prefer to be around people who don't take themselves too seriously. My friends are very important to me. I enjoy the company of others, but do not like huge groups. I love people and love life.

I like to think I am a down to earth kind of girl who loves to have fun so if you are the same and you want to hang out as friends or more then you know what to do.

Just looking for the guy next door. A friend told me about this site and thought I would give it a shot at finding Mr. Right. Is it going to work? I dont know you have to let me know or find me a psychic :). I did however go to Vegas last year and this pyshic *spelling off* told me that my Mr. Right will have the intials FR or RF. Do you have those intials? Of course not I dont think anyone does. I think she was a fraud. :) just kidding... Oh yeah she told me I am going to have 4 kids. I sure hope I have 2 sets of twins or adopt because OUCH! Plus I am 28 so I guess I need to get working.. any help?

ME...No Kids(but I want them) never married(but I want to be), job, car, and a house... Laid back and drama-free.

Aparently girls want a more I'm depth profile so I'll do my best but sure doesn't leave much to the imagination. First things first, there is a good chance I will spell something incorrect. A. I'm typing on my iPhone which tends to put words in my mouth and B. While I am a college graduate spelling was not my major. I like to blame the public eduation system which teaches kids to spell by having them memorize words for a week and spell them on Friday. That I can do, just takes a week of planning.
Other than that I'm pretty normal, well depending on who you ask. I'm pretty laid back, have a sarcastic yet fun sense of humor.

How does one convey ones self through words. In all the ways that truly matter it is simply impossible to do such a thing. I am all of you and I am none of you. I am all things and I am no thing. I can sit hear and type all the things the ego thinks it needs or I can tell you the truth, that there is nothing that I (or you) need that we do not already have, whether we are fully aware of it or not. We are not alone, not a single one of us. We are all connected. We are love made visible, everyone and everything. My mind tells me that I need to find someone to be with, to help make me feel better, to feel less alone and more valuable. My heart tells me that I will never be alone and if, for only brief moments, I can stop and listen to the silence that surrounds my life then I will always find the only true love and comfort that exists, inside me, inside us all.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

I'm pretty damn awesome if I do say so myself :D

"We cannot really love anybody without whom we never laugh." - Alice Reppler

Jonilicious is just as ridiculous as I am, so things kind of even out.

Krisin is ainm dom. - I randomly speak in Gaelic to see who cares enough to try to figure out what I said.

I'm a 21 year old single mother of one. I was born in the North, raised in the South.
I don't really give a damn about sports, but I do have my favorite teams. New Orleans Saints, and New York Yankees. I'm soooo excited that the Saints are FINALLY going to the Superbowl!!
I'm a city girl and a country girl all wrapped into one. I can be at home anywhere. I have mix CD's that are the most random thing you have ever heard. I'll have Patsy Cline, Eminem and Nickelback on the same CD. I know what your thinking; "Whoa, this chick is weird." Well, its true.
I was home schooled through all 12 years of school, and I use that as an excuse when I dont know something; "Oh, I dont know, I was home schooled."
I have 6 siblings, 5 of which are younger, and my family is the most important thing in my life, even though I'm fairly sure one of our epic fights will one day be the cause of the apocalypse.
I have a cat named Roxanne. I named her that so that I can sing the song any time I call her. FYI: I havent heard the origional song, I just know the part from Moulin Rouge. Funny thing? - I'm allergic to cats... Yeah, I'm obviously not the brightest crayon in the box.
I love singing, dancing, scrapbooking, movies, tequila, and hanging out with my friends.

I am divorced after 18 years of marraige, have been single 8 years now, am looking for chemistry in a female. Loyalty, trust, respect , and unconditional love are some important ingredients.

So, the name is Destiny. the age is nineteen. I'm single. I love God. I love Star Bucks. I love music. I'm into all sorts. I love quotes. I love taking pictures. I love my crew. SLG <3 I love my family. My mom is my hero. I love MySpace. I love Facebook. I love my cell phone. I love to have fun. I love my iPod. I'm a Christian. God amazes me every day. He gave his son for me. I believe that I should give him something back. I live for him. No matter how hard life gets I will never underestimate, doubt, or question my God. Science can only go so far && then comes God. I am a very good listener and advice giver. I hate the silence. I have to have music playing or be talking to someone. I have my own style. Itâ??s unique. Love me or Hate me, It doesn't really matter. Most people tend to love me. I have best friends. They are better than yours. I don't know what I would do without them. I am very opinionated. But if I want yours, I'll ask. I donâ??t smoke, drink, or do drugs. I have plans for my life. I live, laugh, && love. I hate drama. Donâ??t bring it around me. I know what I want, && I know who I am. Your approval isn't needed. It doesn't take much to make me happy. I pretty much always am! I'm very easily distracted Duct tape amuses me. I like shiny things. I go after what I want. Most of the time I get it. Don't be offended. I'm very strong-willed. I'm a dreamer. Most of the time I am thinking about something. If I want you to know about it, I will tell you. I love to take off and drive. I am very random. It sometimes gets me in trouble. I love to sing. I am very good at it. I would love to some day skydive and bungee jump. But I am afraid of heights. I want to get married and have kids. It's my biggest goal in life. My biggest fear is of clowns. Never like circuses. I love carnivals. I love the beach. I love storms. I love the darkness. I sometimes like to be by myself to think. I stay up late. And sleep in. I am not a morning person. I love to be held, and loved. But then again, who doesn't?. I am always being told I have gorgeous eyes, and a beautiful smile. I love to laugh. Make me laugh, I'll probably love you forever. I'm not the girl that your mother warned you about, her imagination was never this good. She probably will never like me. Take it or leave it this is me!

I am a mother of 2 kids, a boy and a girl, my daughter plays sports and I enjoy going to her games. I am a very honest and open person and I expect the same from others but that is hard to find, I am recently separated from a 14yr marriage, my ex and I get along but we just grew apart.. I am not looking for a serious relationship, I just got out of that and don't need to get back into that...just maybe friends that I can hang with or just go out with and have some fun....The company I worked for closed in 2008 and at the same time, my mother became ill, so I was able help with her care, she passed away in December, so I am now looking for a job and just trying to get back into life, which has been a slow going process,

If you walk into a quaint town, you'll probably find me with a digital SLR in hand, taking pictures of things I find interesting. Or perhaps you'll stumble across me in the town of Staunton, working on a mural for the community. Or maybe, just maybe, you'll find me on a bench with my nose in a good book. There is no one place you can find me at, because, like a butterfly, I like to flit around from place to place, flower to flower, looking for inspiration for my creative projects, whether it be in the form of a person, a place, or a random object. Who knows what my next personal assignment will be? :)

First things first, I am in an open relationship with the guy I have been with for the past 4 years! He loves and supports me in all that I am and do. We agreed nearly a year ago that our relationship would be open to include other women.

Well, my name is Kris and I'm a senior in college. I love music, especially rock. On the weekends I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to movies, playing video games, and just enjoying my time with them. My favorite thing to do of all time is still feeding the fish and ducks at the local park. I love all animals. I have my ears pierced twice, and one tattoo. I got my tattoo for my god father the day he died. My favorite color changes depending on my mood, much like my eye color. I am pretty laid back unless you cross a line and then I can get a little aggressive. For the most part I just want to enjoy life and those around me, and support my friends in everything they do.

I misinterpret things and miss little subtleties so I argue that if my life were turned into a play the irony would be overwhelmingly hilarious! I am OCD about symmetry and my favorite day of the week is Wednesday.

If you are a guy looking for friendship and friendship alone feel free to contact me. But please don't bother me with flirtation or offers to f*** me straight again...I'm not interested. If you are a girl looking to play games stop reading now I won't play with you...I go to an all women college so I clearly don't need anymore drama!

The basics: I am a twenty-two year old, INFJ college student. I've lived near Washington D.C. all my life and can be a bit of an elitest because of it. I prefer small towns, but I don't know how people get along in the world outside the distribution area of the Washington Post. This is my last year as an undergraduate. I go to a private women's college, which is a lot of fun, but not the greatest for meeting members of the opposite sex. God-willing, I'll graduate with a major in political science and a minor in psychology two subjects in which I have a passionate interest that extends beyond the classroom; my concentrations are international relations and developmental/educational psychology. I read a good bit for pleasure and lately have been indulging in a non-fiction rut. I would rather: wine than beer, stay in than go out, morning to night, ink pens not pencils, tulips to roses, Mac over PC. I loathe the phone and wish I had space to garden.

The more than elemental: Would that I could have a fourth adjective, it would be serious. Having one life I think that it is important not to go through it haphazardly. Taking things seriously hasn't prevented me from having fun - I like fun, laughing, friendship and going out on the town and I'm serious enough about those things to make time for them instead of assuming that fun will find me. If I'm working, I'm working hard; if I'm socializing, it's with people I like; if I'm napping, I'm under the covers with my glasses off -- for serious. Treating life like it's important has never stopped me from laughing at myself, other people, or what's in the news. Maybe a better way to say this would be, "I really don't like being superficial," but that begins to sound like "I hate phonies" and one of my great short-comings is a lack of appreciation for The Catcher in the Rye. I'm sorry. I just don't get it.

I like ambition. Not the blind ambition that tramples everything in it's wake, and not the ambition that assumes the accumulation of wealth and power. I say that I am ambitious in the sense that I want each day to be better and more fulfilling than the one before. I want to make more challenging recipes, learn new songs on the guitar and develop deeper closer friendships. I am happy with my life but not contented, and I like being around people who are similarly ambitious.

More and more I become old-fashioned. The "Good Old Days" certainly weren't so good but I am at times baffled and concerned for society as a whole. I worry that we are too individualistic and neglect the fundamental humanity of our fellow man. On a level this is my admission that I am a small 'c' conservative, a word which as a party Democrat has implications I necessarily resent.

"The Skinny" section in the right hand side indicates that I am Christian and "somewhat serious about it." The whole truth would be that I am "increasingly serious about it." Religion is important to me and I have deeply held beliefs about God which I do not intend to foist on anyone else. I recently read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and was greatly affected by it. I enjoy discussing religion, theology and faith, but I'm not interested in arguing or proselytizing.

Actually, I'm not interested in arguing about anything.

Lastly, Why am I here? (On OKCupid): this is a small way for me to leave a door open to possibility, the possibility of making a new friend or meeting a potential significant other, but I am not actively pursuing either. I'm coming home to Washington where my social circle has dwindled. I'd like to meet more people of quality. My life isn't empty, but can always be enhanced. I'm hopeful that in reading this someone thinks, "that's what I believe," or is otherwise intrigued in a polysyllabic profile with few exclamation marks.

Sidenote: I split my time between Northern Virginia and Staunton. I changed my settings so that I live in Staunton, but the change hasn't come through on my profile yet. Odd.

I like pie. It is yummy. I like it cold, hot, ala mode, or plain. Pie! Pie pie! Just give it to me, and I'll love you forever and ever. Is this 150 characters yet? I just wanna take me some quizzes.

i enjoy music, i play bass in a band, i like to think im funny, pretty sarcastic. i hate talking about myself im never sure what to say. i enjoy hanging out with friends, having a few drinks and a few laughs, i have two tattoos i hope to get more soon. i like working on cars.i play bass in a band. i love music i mostlylisten to the heavy stuff but i do change it up every once and a while. i do have a daughter she means the world to me.i enjoy a good hike and being outside. i have a dog named gus. im working on getting back into shape. im will be joining the national guard with in the next few months. its not something i ever thought id be doing but its extra money to pay my student loans.

I was born on the banks of the of the missouri. Grew up with a single mom and four brothers and sisters. I am in college to be an Anesthesiologist.

Hi I am 47 and single I love to ride motorcycles in my spare time. I also enjoy the outdoors camping and fishing. I own my home and I am looking for a friend at first then see were it goes from there.

"To call it defeat would oversimplify the absolute loss of humanity. This is itâ?¦ the disintegration of the soul, the point at which the body has no fire left, when helpless becomes hopeless and hopeless becomes despair."

I get distracted a lot by my thoughts...the squirrels that stare at me outside the art studio....foil....I write,read,think,sing,say random things, make tons of different faces...usually I come back to books I've already read and dissect it all. I will tell you what I am thinking about something or someone most of the time if I feel like it unless I don't like you and if that's the case you would already know that and not have asked me such a question...also I feel like that was a run on sentence. I love to listen to people tell stories or share their own ideas and personal experiences. I am usually the weird one amongst my friends and the one who has what I think are good ideas and the listener. People come to me a lot, but I don't take my own advice most of the time.
I like hanging out with the guys mostly and playing video games. I love movies and music and the night time when the lights are the brightest and amazing things are happening. I love to have fun and be around good people...

I have a wide set of interests from retail history, old commercials, and American history.

I like Photography, Apple Computers, cheezy music, old commercials, the early 90's, soda, Diet Coke, packaging, advertising, dead retail, dead malls, editing wikipedia, claiming to be a retail historian, over analyzing the comic strip Funky Winkerbean, writing history papers, reading Wikipedia until 2, 3, 4 in the morning, men with curly hair, seeing how Facebook looks on other peoples cell phones. .

I have read enough of these profiles to know that they are mostly shopping lists of what we are looking for in a potential mate. I am really not looking for any particular "type" of person. It would be easier to say what I am not looking for. I am very open minded in some regards but not so much in others. I know in my social group of co-workers, I am considered the odd one, but in a good way. I am not overly relgious but that does not mean I am not spiritual.
I have read on here that many of us consider ourselves "unique" which is awesome and perplexing to me at the same time. While we are all unique and different, we are all the same as well. I just find this in itself amusing, because I too think of myself as different, weird almost but in a good way. I always find myself drawn to the strange quirkiness of people.
I take delight in finding a positive thing to smile about everyday. Whether it is a person, a sunrise, or something that happened during the day. I try to keep an positive outlook on things even when they are grim. I am one of those the glass is half-full kinda people. Of course, part of my job is to see and find the best abilities in people and use those to the best advantage. I learn so much from what I do everyday.
So, with all that said, I would like to find an open-minded, non-judgemental person that also sees the positive and good in humanity for serious long-term relationship.

Just a totally laid back country-girl that loves the outdoors and small-town America. Like collegebasketball, motorcycle rides, swimming, being in the sun. Love to try new things, meet new people. Love my family and friends.Music is my addiction. I enjoy all types of music....alternative, rock, easy-listening, R&B, country.......Its all good.

I read a ton of fiction books. Read some self help books when I get the time...I love word puzzles, sodoku.....things that stimulate my mind!!!!!

With me what you see is what you get. I so don't understand why people try to be something they are not. I will speak my mind, be honest and you will always know where I stand. I'm not lookin' for games......

I am just looking to meet new people for friends or otherwise, and to enjoy every day life. I want someone who would be honest, appreciative, and active. I want someone who will enjoy me for me and not try to make me into something else. I expect someone to treat me with respect and wont settle for less. I dont want to be told how great I am ......show me. I don't want you to tell me how great you are or try to impress me with stuff...cause there is so much more to life than stuff!!!! The best things in life aren't things. I am a total believer in making the best of your circumstances and that I am the only one who can change my life.

I could spend a day at the lake, a day in the mountains, an afternoon four-wheelin in a jeep, a fall day at a football game, strollin' through an outdoor festival, goin to a good BBQ or Chili cookoff, or a quiet evening alone reading a good book and be completely happy with all of it. I have goals in life of some things i would love to do and hope to make some progress on that list.

Well, I'm 20 and a 3rd year college student. Just switched to business with a minor in history. I'm from NC but I go to school in VA. I've lived in 8 states and by far my favorite was FL. Which is where my love of the Gators comes in. As well as surfing. I surfed almost everyday of the 2 years I lived there.

I love football and camping. I'm also into horseback riding, cooking, and shopping. I laugh all the time. About anything. I'm extremely shy when I meet someone new.

Let's see if I can do this without sounding like the spec sheet for a washing machine; based on a good chunk of the summaries I've read so far, it may be a challenge.

I'm half-American, half-Irish and grew up (for the most part) in Ireland. Spent 10 years in California and am ecstatic to have escaped. My professional background is largely in information security, but I do my best to not be in front of a keyboard constantly.

Speaking of not being in front of a keyboard: get me outside; I can't stand being indoors all day. If making a living by exploring trails with a Jeep was a legitimate career choice, I'd be the first one to sign up. Oddly enough, though, I can stay cooped up all day if there are movies involved: I have been known to arrive at a cinema for a matinee and not leave until after midnight.

I'm 18 and I live in Staunton, Va. I like to party and chill with friends. I'm almost done with high school and I'm moving onto college soon. Hit me up and we can get sumthin craccn. ask for my number and txt me yo lol

I'm just hanging out in the middle of nowhere in Virginia for the time being. I dislike cold weather so perhaps being in the mountains/this far north isn't the greatest decision but, oh well, stuff happens.

i am very simple to understand, if you understand dynamic things.
i love motorcycles. i love looking at them, reading about them, and riding them, especially riding on trails.
i play cello, among other things. i love playing. next i want to learn harp.
i love animals, i have cats and dogs.
i love being outdoors.
i love playing video games (especially halo).
i love reading, mostly nonfiction.
i love drawing and painting.
i love writing.
i love my family.
it seems like i overuse the word love. it's simply that i am passionate about things that interest me. life is both long and short. i try not to waste it on things that don't make me feel alive.

My name is Sherry, I am 27 and live in Staunton. I love to do anything outdoors from hiking to fishing. I also love my family, art, LOTS of music, football, UNC basketball and good times in general.

I do seek humor in everything. I enjoy the release when I laugh and when those around me laugh . I surround myself with music. Although my day job(s) involves teaching and "doing" science, I do make a sincere effort to appreciate, enjoy, and practice, the arts.

I AM A 28 YR. OLD SWM WITH BROWN HAIR AND BROWN EYES. I AM 6' TALL AND WEIGH ABOUT 150 LBS. MY INTERESTS ARE VIDEO GAMES, WRESTLING, DANCING, WATCHING TV AND MOVIES ,CUDDLING, SEX, AND HAVING FUN. I HAVE A 8 YR. OLD DAUGHTER THAT I LOVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RAISE BY MYSELF SINCE HER MOTHER NO LONGER HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER. I JUST GOT OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP THAT I WAS IN FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND I THOUGHT THIS GIRL WAS THE ONE BUT THINGS CHANGE AND PEOPLE CHANGE AND IT JUST WASN'T WORKING OUT ANYMORE.

I am rapidly approaching 19, studying for an Associate's degree right now at a community college, plan to continue on for a Bachelor's at a four-year University, live with my parents until then to save money, love pets and children, am rotund, "bisexual" though I prefer being recognized as open to any experience, and spend probably far too much time on the internet, usually reading.

Well,my name's Ashley and I'm full of energy. I love laughing-it's the cure for everything. I'm addicted to sports, I love the Yankees,'Skins,and UVA. The beach is my absolute favorite place to be!

Summer is by far my favorite time of the year, fall being a close second due to FOOTBALL.

I love the outdoors, especially Canoeing. I love little kids and animals. I have 3 dogs and 3 kitties. (=^_^=)

What to say? I'm 21, very laid back, finishing up school out of state from where I live. I have some good friends and I have acquaintances. I'd love to be in a relationship with someone who was my best friend as well as the guy I'm with romantically, but I'm just on here to talk right now.

I usually keep pretty busy with school, my senior thesis, and ROTC. I'm not looking for a relationship right now, though I wouldn't turn one down if it came my way. What I'd like is someone I can talk to outside of my busy life. Sometimes it gets lonely, even when you're busy and surrounded by people.

I love animals, and have a dog back home. I like the outdoors for the most part, and there are many things I want to try doing. I've done some backpacking and camping (though I think my experiences with that could have been better), rock climbing and white water rafting. I have a movie collection that I'm steadily adding to; movies and books tend to be my "escape".

I think that's enough random facts. Anything you want to know, just ask. I don't tend to hide anything.

New to the online thing. I love to laugh, tell jokes and all around have a good time wherever I go. I can be shy at times, but give me just a little bit to warm up.

Hi there... . I love getting to know new people...

Let's see, employed, no drama, wiccan, suffer from OCD, still reading? Got your attention anyway.

I am an easy-going, down-to-earth. caring, kind, compassionate, sweet lady. I'm very honest and trustworthy and expect the same in a partner. I work hard during the week and love to have fun on weekends. I have a great sense of humor and love to do just about any activity.

I'm a rock n' roll chick who loves to write and paint. I'm also a yoga instructor who loves to bust out some Fugazi during class. I love beer and organic food, old Gidget movies and anything by Pedro Almodavar.

I am a kind single lady, tired of being single. So i'm here looking for another lady with similar interest. I can be fun to be around, love to laugh, and dance listening to todays pop music. I also love all kinds of music. I live with just my great dane and pets. Hoping to find the lady who is willing to love as much as be loved. Material things like big fancy houses and expensive cars doesnt matter to me. Its matters of the heart that I'm looking for.

First off my name is Brad and I live in lovely Staunton Virginia. Not the best of towns, but it is okay for the time being. I am currently working as an assistant manager at Backstage Video and continuing my education in forensics. I am one of the easiest people to get along with and can be a friend to anyone. I am no push over though. I am only a friend until you give me a reason not to be. I am a firm believer in not going behind anyone's back. Some of my hobbies include playing guitar and piano. I have been in several bands in my time but decided to just play music in my own way. I am a big reader. If you see me chances are all have a book in my hand. I am also a big gamer. I know, nerd is what you are more than likely thinking, but when I am making money from tournaments, well, then call me a nerd I guess. Well, if you want to know anything else, feel free to send me a message on here. I always answer back. :)

I am looking for someone who will love me for who I am, few extra pounds and all. Looks are not extremely important to me. I mean there has to be an attraction, but beauty to me is not the world's view of beauty. I will always respect you and never treat you unkind. The first thing I look for in a woman is eyes, smile and personality. I want someone who can make me laugh, and in return I will try to do the same for you. I am a hopeless romantic. Chivalry is not dead.

Now for the introduction....

For starters, I walk with a purpose. I leave no stone unturned. I am constantly observing behavior. I have known deep sorrow, but have also known great joy. I sing outloud with the radio. I get philosophical when I drink. I love thunderstorms. I want to be a singer/musician, but I am FAR from it. I don't play the piano but wish I did. I enjoy being mysterious. I have a tendency to come off shy, but warm up quick to conversation. I get frustrated when people view me a certain way. I don't bite my nails. I can detach easily from undesirable situations. I don't lead but I am not one who follows. Does that make sense? I am kind to strangers. I love fully and completely. I'm a simple person, I take pleasure in simple things, and I strive for simplicity every day. I love making people happy. Laughter is the best medicine. I have a lot to give of myself, and when I can do that, my cup runneth over. I am deeply moved by God and the grace that he affords me each day. The people I love will always be my number one priority, because in the end that is really all that matters. I cannot wait to get married(one day?) I'm lucky, happy, sincere, honest, genuine, somewhat frustrated, and continually blessed. I love music and movies, all kinds. I have bowled five 300 games. They are now my greatest achievements after receiving my degree. I am smarter than I give myself credit for and would appreciate a woman who is just as smart if not smarter. I enjoy puzzles and mind benders. My IQ is 142 and I am proud of that. I take pleasure in being a lifelong learner. There is always something new to learn.

I'm Christian. I consume anything that tastes good and doesn't cost too much. I like the Mets because they're not the Yankees. Well, actually I really don't care. I really like the Orioles and the Nationals, but I don't really watch that many games. I am a hardcore Dallas Cowboys fan. I'm also a DC United fan and an L.A. Lakers fan. I loved The Italian Job which was directed by I don't know or care who directs these movies (wtf?)

I live for music. I like sports, chatting, reading, writing, hiking, camping, nature, computers, did I mention that I love music? Send me a note if you want to get to know me better.

I have got more going on than a cat in a room full of dogs. Lol's, not really. My accomplishments are few, personal and fairly amazing to a select few. I lived to see fifty when I thought for sure eighteen was the cut-off. I can do so much, self-taught,still take on the unknown and so pick a subject besides politics and I can contribute a little of something I suppose. I was brought up not to be too high on one's self. It always gets me in trouble anyway.

the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subjectâ??not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual. In existentialism, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude," or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world....."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

Only humans are judgmental, and because you are, you assume that I must be. Yet I am not, and that is the great truth you cannot accept. God Conversations with God (Book 1) through Neale Donald Walsch (adapted)

God is not a gangster. Christianity makes you an "offer you can't refuse" by promising Heaven if you accept their propaganda and threatening spiritual torment if you don't. Duane Alan Hahn

Sometimes I think I am an alien from the outer reaches of inner space who was not born to my parents, but rather, the pair found me floating Moses style in a sea of green bladed fescue. One does not come to convince themselves of such things overnight. Sanatoriums are not full of fair-weather Louis X-I-Vs. It starts, I've been told, with an innocent fetish for those ornate straight laced antique chairs. Before you know it, you're caught with your pants down fondling a powdered wig at the local flea market; making your escape in a candy apple Yugo that has been spray painted harvest gold. A gilded chariot fit for THE SUN KING.

Other times I think I'm just too oblique. Like right now for instance.

I'm a fun person and a bit crazy . I love my little girl and i love my pets . I have a grate little girl she will be 2 months old this comin friday . I have some cool friends for pets i have 2 dogs 4 cats and a hamster looking for friends maybe more. I'm just a fun loving girl with a bit of a bad girl side.

I am a very nice guy with a big heart. I value honesty, communication, and trust in a relationship. I have a good sense of humor, so be prepared to laugh. I live in Staunton, VA and I have lived here for a year now. I keep my friends and family close to my heart because life is too short to take them for granted. I am originally from Virginia Beach, so I am still getting used to the lifestyle change from a big city to a smaller one.

I graduated from Old Dominion University with a degree in Network Engineering, with a minor in Recreation Tourism Management. I enjoy working with kids through my 4-H group from Virginia Beach, and I have been involved in 4-H doing that for the past 10 years and more to come.
I enjoy relaxing on the weekends or whenever I have a free moment. My apartment overlooks the mountains so it is not hard to do. When I can, I enjoy relaxing outdoors by a campfire, or on a beach. If you like to play games like Cranium, Taboo, Apples to Apples, then youâ??re my best friend right off the bat. I enjoy listening to music, completing hands-on projects, watching movies, and playing with electronics. I go bonkers if I am inside for too long so I try to do things outdoors as much as possible. I am not afraid to be myself, which means I can be goofy, sweet, caring, and a joy to be around. The music I like is pretty much anything but my favorites are Country, Rock, and Oldies. I like a lot of movies. My favorite movies tend to be mostly comedies; however I am not a big fan of horrors (unless I am in the right company) I am looking for someone who will complement my interests and possibly bring some more the table. I look forward to meeting you soon.

â??Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.â?? ~Leo Buscaglia

I love animals . Especialy dogs . It would help if you do too, but liking them would probably be enough : ) I like country living . Grew up in Nyc , right in manhattan but never want to live like that again . I like going for walks in the woods . With my dog ofcourse . My latest thing is that Im trying to be a vegatarian . Decided that if I really love animals so much I probably shouldnt eat them . Dont worry , Im not at all militant about it .Lets see . Im not a big patriot . If anything the opposite . Dont spend alot of time thinking about politics but have strong enough views to form some basic opinions . Dont have TV. That makes things a little easier . Ive spent time living on intentional communities/communes . I try and live a green life . Try and live a spiritual life . Seems to me like thats what Im here to do. Have a daily practice of yoga and prayer . Not too big into money ,tho its nice to have enough .Live pretty minimaly when it comes to that. Simple tastes etc.. Been spending time lately volunteering at the spca walking dogs . What is rewarding in my life ? When I take a dog out to pee and poop who's been holding it all day long . That is making a practical difference on the most basic level .Can you disagree ? What else. I take relationships seriously . Like I said above , I do my best to be "Loyal, Loving and Kind " and I dont have to try to be silly . My late wife if she were here , would vouch for them all.
