Let the Games Begin
Dating is all about odds, right? I will be spending the next few days catching up on my dates as of the last week and a half. I have been struck by the god of love (well, tapped might be more like it). Feast or famine has prevailed one more time as I have been on dates with five men in the past two weeks. Beyond being fatigued, I am extremely hopeful that things are moving in the right direction! I feel confident again; and maybe, just maybe one of these is the one.

Basic Information from my eHarmony profile
1. What are you most passionate about?
I try to live life to the fullest. I am most passionate about making my life and the lives of those around me positive and fun. I love volunteering, traveling, trying new things and spending time with friends and family.
2. What are the THREE things for which you are MOST thankful?
1. 2. 3.
3. Other than your parents, who has been the most influential person in your life and why?
If I mentioned just one person, I would be untruthful. Too many people have had substantial impact on my life.
4. The four things your friends say about you are:
Ambitious
Easy-Going
Loyal
Thoughtful
5. What are three of your BEST life-skills?
Continuing to expand my knowledge and awareness
Being a good friend and companion
Achieving personal goals
6. What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person?
I would love to find someone with a similar outlook on relationships. Relationships are fun and rewarding, but anything rewarding takes work. I want to have fun with a partner that supports and challenges me (and vice versa).
7. Other than your appearance, what is the first thing that people notice about you?
I'm a hopeful optimist. I also think they notice that I have a way of making people feel at ease and included.
8. What is the ONE thing that people DON'T notice about you right away that you WISH they WOULD?
I have an endless capacity to laugh at myself (and others). I might start off a little shy, but in the end, I just want to be happy and have fun.
9. How do you typically spend your leisure time?
I love catching up with friends for dinner or a yoga class, or just watching a game. I enjoy walking around the lake a few times a week, reading books, trying new restaurants, and catching up on my DVR.
10. What are five things that you "can't live without?"
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
11. Describe the last book that you read and enjoyed. What was it about? What did you like most about it?
I recently finished a few books (outside of course work). The first is a book called "A Long Way Gone" about a boy soldier in Sierra Leone. I've also read the last book in Stephanie Meyer's vampire romance series (I know - vampires are so trendy). I try to balance a thought provoking book with mindless reading.
12. Describe one thing about yourself that only your best friends know.
My nickname growing up still haunts me (thanks to my little brother).

Trying eHarmony
Patti say if you are looking to online date you need a professional photo. I've done that (see me all cute in the picture). I've signed up for eHarmony and will post my profile shortly. Men, beware. Friends, get ready for some laughs.
