A Profile That Gives Me Just A Wee Bit Of Hope

I’m sorry for going on this long stretch of whiny crybaby wailing over my online dating experiences recently, but I’m planning to get back on the road next month (either Tennessee or anywhere but here), so I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Too bad I have so little drama in my life that I don’t have much else to write about, amirite??

Anyhoo, after spending the usual afternoon sifting through eons of profiles, this one caught my eye:

I’m a 24 year old with a lot ahead of her but no one by her side. I am an artsy person with a love of languages and culture. I would love to travel someday with someone who appreciates culture as well and how other people live in the world. I also love to help people and I’m looking for that quality in a guy as well. Someone who won’t scoff at me if I’m heading out to visit someone in a nursing home or take a dish of food to a struggling family etc.

Above all else, I am looking for a kind and caring guy who isn’t afraid to show me his feelings and is dedicated and loyal. I love love love humor in guys and I don’t think I could be with someone who is always serious. There is a time and place for that of course but I like a geeky/goofy guy for sure. I never grew up in the spotlight, I was the middle of 5 siblings and have only had 1 boyfriend which lasted 2 years in the time since High School.

It’s not indicated here, but elsewhere she describes herself as shy and introverted as well.

I knew I had a type, but I seriously didn’t believe my type existed, that it was just a fantasy conjured up by wishful thinking. You see enough dating profiles and you believe women as a whole only want a particular flavor of guys, that is, men who are tall, dark and handsome, ambitious, knows what they want in life, very active outdoors and equally as active on the social scene.

You know, everything I’m not.

But then I read a profile like this and I realize not only does my type of girl potentially exist, but it’s possible that I could be the type of guy they are looking for too.

Kinda brightened my day, reading this. Yes, I sent her an email. No, I don’t expect a response. But still, it does grant me a sliver of hope, and I guess that’s enough for now.
