Critique my online dating profile
When I've done the online dating thing before, I've always made the typical male mistake - I've gone for a generic profile that doesn't really rule out anyone. Well, after my recent online experiences, it's time to get fussier. So here's my new profile. Tell me what you think.
About Me
I'm a fun loving, hard working guy, living in Stoke. I'm very caring and honest - some people say too honest, whatever that means! I'm looking for that special someone who totally rocks my world.
I like going to pubs, clubs, casino's, that kind of thing. Although for a date, you can't beat a nice italian or steak at a cosy backstreet restaurant (you know the ones - old music, wine bottle candles, and the best food in Stoke).
What I want
I'm looking for the kind of person who has her own life too - I'm very independent, and while I do want someone I can spend time with, there's a very fine line between attentive and just plain clingy! Also, although I'd love to have kids of my own someday, I'm honestly not up for the challenge of playing dad to someone elses kids. Sorry mums, but I'd rather be up front than waste both our times.
The First Date
Aah, now for the first date, I reckon the best bet is either a coffee or a pub lunch, early afternoon. That way, if we don't get on, we're not in that horrible awkward situation where it's just not working but we can't leave because there's food coming or we're stuck in a cinema with Fat Smelly Bloke to the left and Mobile Phone Girls to the right. If we do get on, we can discuss the perfect 'proper' first date from there.
I know, ruling out the clingy ones and the mums probably rules out about 90% of the women who do the online dating thing. I don't care, they're not my type anyway and they just make life more complicated than it needs to be.
So...whaddya think? Any thoughts to improve on this? Answers on a postcard, kids.
