How to find a date for Star Wars

Possum, should I mention the necking part in my contest?

And Welshy lives in TEXAS, not TAMPA so you're not being helpful (whoever you are)!

Ya know, if I had asked for advice on where to buy bike tubes, I'd have received 50 suggestions by now. A little compassion for the dateless here!

That's not nice and you hurt my feelings.

tupuppy - 2005-04-07 2:13 PM Met my wife online from the old aol personals. Renee, I have a friend in Tampa who is about 34, 6' -ish, red hair and last I knew in decent shape. He's doing PhD work at USF and he's a good man. Plays the saxaphone, loves baseball. Want the contact info??

Ooh. Well, uh, he sounds enticing but 34's kinda young (I'm 43) but it would be just for the one date. Hmmm... let me think on that. Could be fun. I dunno. Geez, I'm feeling shy already.

coredump - 2005-04-07 2:15 PM So it's limited to Tampa area applicants only huh? Ah well...

Well it would certainly be helpful if they were in Tampa since the date would be in Tampa. Of course, if they don't mind the commute...

auto208562 - 2005-04-07 2:14 PM How old are you and give me some hobbies besides tri? Some descriptive material on your life? That will make my decision a little easier

Well, even if you're just playing this is a good opportunity for me to draft a personals ad:

I'm 43. I enjoy an active lifestyle, one that involves lots of play. I snow and water ski; I play golf and racquetball; my favorite play is riding my mtn bike off-road. I love to entertain my friends with good cooking and wine. I'm Buddhist and am uncomfortable with any form of religious zealotry. My home will be paid off in 3 years. I have 2 full 5' tall bookshelves in my bedroom. My favorite writers are John Irving and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I speak some Spanish, a little French and a little Italian. I'm a clean living girl, I don't smoke, no drugs, alcohol consumption is mostly wine or beer (and the occassional Margarita). I dearly love my 7 nieces and nephews and adore 2 of my sisters. My mother inspires me to be a strong woman. I have 2 cats. I laugh quite loudly. My favorite TV shows are Sex & The City; Seinfeld; and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I am emotional, warm, direct, passionate and trustworthy. I enjoy sex a great deal. I need to understand people. I am an INTJ.

More than you ever wanted to know...

Hah! I like men. I've always liked men. I like men alot. They come in so many wonderful shapes and sizes, and they're rarely bitchy or catty. I'm always checking out men when I'm running or riding or swimming (like that guy in the pool last night, nice view) or shopping or driving or... It's a primal thing. I don't question it. I embrace it.

One of my lesbian friends once told me "You are the most heterosexual women I've ever met." Her only explanation was to say I was very hetero. Ok. Whatever. Did I mention I like men?
