Des Plaines's Local Dating Service

I'm a 23 year-old United States Marine. I just got back from my second deployment to Iraq. I like going to concerts and movies, having drinks with friends, watching cartoons, reading, and playing video games. I mostly listen to metal, but I listen to other genres as well. I like horror, sci-fi, and comedy for my movies and books. I'm getting out of the military next year, and I'm going back to college.

I am an eighteen year old undergraduate Anthropology major at Illinois State University. I am usually the person who likes to actually go out and meet people, but having no car and very few friends my age here I haven't found the time. I am a pretty shy person, but once I get started on a conversation I usually have trouble stopping. I only recently came out of the closet and have had only one intimate relationship. That relationship ended very badly and made me very gun shy. It is kind of silly for someone as young as me to only want an intimate committed relationship but I have always considered myself ahead of the pack when it comes to maturity. I am looking for a smaller guy. I don't like big guys like myself, I need someone small and cute. But don't be afraid to talk to me! My AIM is Satanhunter117.

I'm basically a fun, layed-back guy. I enjoy quiet afternoons watching movies and snuggling on the couch. I like to go into the city and see events at Millennium Park, especially in the summer. Tennis is a favorite pastime for me and I also enjoy outdoors barbecues and canoeing/ hiking in the woods. Plus, I can cook!

I'm looking to grow, always up for challenge. It could be a new skill or taking on a new challenge; absolutely believe in life-long learning. Once a person stops learning, they start dying. I started taking dance lessons recently and finally my head does not hurt so much at the end of class. I'm looking for some new friends to enjoy this adventure called life. I've spent the first 20 years of adulthood playing the "game". You know: getting a solid education and building a career. What happens when you hit 40 and realize that there's much more in life to be discovered? Now I'm focusing on personal exploration and growth and it's really exciting!

Not much to say really. I like to sit at home and watch TV and take naps. So if you're into that, perfect, hit me up.

I smoke, not too much though, like two a day. I drink, mostly whiskey, it really takes the edge off when I feel down.

I live with my parents and don't have a car, so it'd be a big plus if you had your own mode of transportation.

Eventually an LTR would be preferred, but until/unless that happens, my immediate goal is a dance partner (or two) and/or friends for a variety of activities.

I have just recently started social dancing, aka ballroom, dancing, so I can enjoy dancing with a complete novice, and can appreciate a woman with some experience.

For serious dating or a relationship, please be intrigued by the following. I do not expect you to be a match for more than a few of them. I like museums, anything outdoors that is active but relaxed, such as camping, bicycling, canoeing, hiking, gardening. I have been interested in flea markets/garage sales, local theater, discussion groups, making crafts and sewing

I am a member of a very liberal church that believes each person must develop their own belief system, whether or not it include a supreme being.

By traditional measures, I am intelligent and educated, although I appreciate other measures of intelligence and education. It is nice to be able to have a varied and stimulating conversation.

I'd say that for the most part I am very easy to get along with, as long as things are the way I like them to be. People think that because I always have a serious face, that I am in a bad mood. Not true. People also think I am shy and quiet, which is also not true. I don't see silence as awkward, but I also like to have conversations. The things I enjoy most are good food, good friends, and an occasional nap here and there.

I take my job seriously.It's not a profession,per say,but it is my livelihood.And in this economy I feel fortunate.I have a great schedule,work close to home & rarely miss a day.Other than my schedule my job offers no benefits.I love summer,hanging out at the pool,working on my tan,throwing a frisbee or football & swimming.I love going for walks with my cat.I hope to meet someone who lives relatively close to me.Someone who would appreciate my sarcastic humor & make me laugh.Could you be her?

I am very outgoing and just love to have a good time! My goal everyday is to make someone smile :) Not one of those fake smiles a real smile! I am sometimes loud and a lot of the time I do not care what people think of me! It is just the way I am I guess... I am a huge sports fan! I love the Cubs and the Bears! If there is anything that you want to know just ask.

Hmmm. Lets see. Im kind of a cinic to this online thing, but ill give it a go. Im probably way too blunt for my own good, but im honest. I laugh at just about anything, i love to eat, and dancing and music is the cure for everything for me. I am normally the friend everyone comes to for advice and the one who can lend a listening ear. I go into everything with my heart wide open even though its been bruised a lot. i believe everything happens for a reason and everyone leaves a footprint to help you grow into the person your meant to be. I like to do things for people and make people smile and sitting still doesnt work for me. Did i mention i work at a bank, crazy i know, but i work as a personal banker and deal with peoples' money and helping them deal with this crazy economy.Im totally not the typical bank employee i love jewelry, messing with my hair and making innapropriate jokes. If you wanna actually know more tho, i dont bite ask away. AND YOU CAN MESSAGE JERRY! (thats my name) hehe

wow i really dont know what to say here. but i figured i should write something so that when you look its not just blank. so im an easy going laid back kinda guy with a shaved head and tattoos. anything else please ask.

I'm very outgoing, fun, and have a knack at getting my friends to laugh. I am easy going, live life to the fullest, and make sure to experience new things everyday. Thus I am full of spontaneity. I am attracted to great conversations with smart people. Hanging out with friends, watching the Bears, and sportive activities fulfill my days. Movies, reading, cooking fulfill my nights. I drink socially, stouts are my favorite right now, and enjoy wine with dinner, warm sake with sushi. I crave really good coffee or chai tea. Definitely good at anything, Jack of all trades you could say, that makes my friends jealous. Learning is one of my passions, as is tennis. Traveling is another of my passionate hobbies, and have visited over 14 countries.

umm... . i am not sure what else to say lol =

I'm 29, very independent, entirely self-sufficient, ambitious with my career, but there is one thing missing... that special lady who rocks my world! Of course, I want to rock hers too!

I would love to meet someone who is loyal and honest. They are truly the most essential characteristics I want in my partner and I don't entertain people who do not possess truth to the core. I also want someone who has their proverbial shit together -- we all have our own experiences that have shaped our lives but if you're obsessed with an ex, it will turn me off - no question. Be aware of your flaws and able to communicate them.

I live alone with my dog - she is the most precious thing in my life! I love to be adventurous and try new things - whether it be jumping out of a plane from 18,000 ft., or exploring the culinary delights of new, hidden restaurants.

I love to do outdoor activities, especially in the spring/summer/fall and would love to meet someone who shares that desire. Let's kayak, jet ski on the lake, sail, fish, take pictures of nature, hike, walk our dogs, skim rocks on the river, white-water raft, take weekend escapes in the wilderness, etc.

I am a busy young man on the go go go. If you like olives than its a no no no. I work as a freelance audio engineer. So when I am not hitting that record button or adjusting some knob or microphone. I am at band practice or in the studio with the band. Other than that I am just kicking it with my friends.

well my names jimmy. im 18 from des plaines illinois. i play baseball and im trying to find a job but its not workin to good. idk if you wanna know anything just ask me im bad at filling these things out.

Im 20 years old. Music, cars, friends and family are what rule my life. I cant live with out any of them. I Like to go see movies, concerts, and jus chill. Im not your typical guy just looking to get some. I want to find some one to fall for who will do the same for me.

Im livin in the NW subburbs but I like going to the Chi and dont do it enough

I grew up with a family with values and respect. family is important to me since they will always be around and will be the closest people to you. I am independent, hardworking, I strive for success, well at least I try to be that person. I see the sky as the limit for improvement. Have to take those risks to become what you want to be. I am a very active person that doesn't like sitting around the house very much unless of course it's with someone special that I'm with. I have a great sense of humor, honest, straight forward, very laid back type of guy. Tell you the truth, I believe I am one of a kind that holds that characteristics that people like. To know what I mean, you have to get to know me and see for yourself. I consider myself very Unique! haha. I been through alot of ups and downs these past years.

I do love to travel so if you like to go places then I could be your guy! haha. I have traveled to San Antonio which I have friends that live there so I go about once a year, if not more. I have been to Yellowstone National Park, I plan on going next year to West Glacier National Park, Poland, and Mexico. Possibly Vegas as well too because I have not been there yet. I might throw in Niagara Falls too if there's anyone interested in going.

The type of person I'm looking for is someone who knows what they want out of life. I like someone who has a sense of humor, loves watching movies, having a few drinks with friends, being outside when the weather permits, traveling is a big plus! I'm pretty open though when it comes to meeting someone. What I listed is not a necessity since no one has everything your looking for.

What to say about me? Im an independant woman tryin to find someone intersted in enjoying life! I'm well rounded and tired of playing games. I am happy with who I am and try to find the best of every situation! My friends tell me that I have a good heart and my biggest problem is that I care too much about people and that tends to allow me to get hurt.

I love going for walks with my dog and chillin at home. I love a good scary movie or dinner out ... but just spending time with that special someone is what means the most to me. I'm a big girl with lots of room in my heart and am willing to share that with the right person!

Family is big for me, as my family - god love 'em - has always been my biggest support system! We love to spend time doing all sorts of activites ...

I love to read, sing, play on my computer, go camping and a slew of other things that if you want to know ... well you are going to have to ask!

I have gotten to the point in my life that I have put away most of childish things in life and I am ready to have the dream. I say most because I do enjoy "being a kid again" every now and then. I think its good for the heart, mind, body and soul. I truely am ready to be in a real relationship with someone that what to share how their day was. I want to listen and be heard. I am ready to make the compromises that make up a realtionship .... like taking turns picking the movie, your place or mine? cuddle on the couch or catch a movie out?

The main thing is that I am here looking to find my partner in life - someone that understands that I am a great woman and wants to have me by their side. I enjoy a good bottle of wine, or a cold beer after a busy day. I'm not perfect and I know it, but what I have to offer is honesty, loyalty and affection. I'm not looking to find someone to take care of me, but who will let me be there when they need me.

Not looking for a perfect guy .... just not one with drama. I'm laid back and would like you to be too. I've grown up and the whole 420 thing - not my bag thanks. I looking for an intelligent conversation and someone to sitmulate my mind.

I am laid back, healthy, active, and hopeful. I am thoughtful, yet often forgetful. I have deep roots and feeling for those in my life. I am looking for my better half.

I work in healthcare in a very different setting/position. I have decided that the RNs in the back have the world's greatest job and I am setting the wheels in motion to make it happen.

I grew up in Chicago and my family and friends are mostly here. I never plan on leaving the Chicago are again (though I left to go to college in Texas).

I've had many of the same friends since I was a very young child, but have added some great friends along the way.

I am a born-and-raised Chicago girl forced into suburbia with a penchant for her hometown, Arnold Palmer's, maki rolls, and healthcare.

I enjoy outdoor activities, healthy foods and meaningful conversations..I am single and stright. I enjoy long drives, sunsets and smiles

Please know that I am interested in meeting people only and if it develops into something more I might be OK with that, but I am more interested in someone to have fun with.

I will make you laugh, but only if you get past my defenses. I don't like to be super proper, but I can pull it off when needed. I am the best with children, as I am still a kid at heart. If you are into having fun and aren't stuck up then I might be interested in meeting you. Be warned a sarcastic sense of humor is located on this end and you will be required to put up with it.

From Russia originally, I came to this country 30 years ago. I like to travel, I like dancing, movies, I like to eat nice dinners and relax. No attitude.

I'm looking for a guy between the ages of 55-65 with these same qualities.

Hello to all the great men out there! (if any of you still exist :)

Online dating. Hm, okay. Well I guess if I want to get back out there and meet someone, this is worth a try. Beats looking for someone at a bar! I have to say, I've never explained myself to a computer before. So, here goes my attempt at describing myself, my needs, and my interests. To any of you men who want to know more, just ask. My inbox welcomes your emails.

ABOUT ME: First things first, I'm independent. I haven't needed to rely on anyone for many years now. I work hard, and to show for it, I have pretty much anything I need in life. To some that may sound spoiled, but nothing is given to me, I provide it for myself! My son and daughter are both grown, 22 and 25, both live close by. I see them often and they are very important to me. I have lived in my apartment for 20 years, I'm close with many of my neighbors, and we get together regularly for birthdays, barbecues, etc... I take good care of myself! I'm a nails done, hair done, well-dressed lady. To any of you who ends up taking me out on a date, I will be astonishing at your arm! I own both a fat cat and a skinny cat, but love all animals, dogs included. I'm a baseball fan... a CUBS fan! If you are a Sox fan, beware, but I'm willing to look past it for the right guy.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: Well, in general, I enjoy life and love to experience new things. Basically, if you have a major interest that isn't listed here as one of my interests, that's okay. I'm open to new things, given the right person is there to show me the way. Most importantly, I like a guy who can make me laugh. I like a guy that isn't in to drama and games. I like a guy who understands we all have faults, and can accept me for the wonderful things I have to offer as well as the not-so-wonderful things :)

WHAT I LIKE TO DO: I love all types of music, I enjoy movies, theater, museums, fests- outdoors or indoors, both are great. Summer is definitely my favorite time of year. I love being in the sun! However, the fact that it's fall won't keep me from being outdoors. I would love to meet up for some apple picking, a hayride, or even a drive in the country, where we can see the leaves take on fall colors. Do you have other ideas? I'm open. I also love to travel. I spent a few months in the Dominican Republic this summer, but a short weekend getaway can be great as well. There's a great big world out there, and I'd like to explore all of it, eventually.

If you like what you see here and think you could be the one- don't hesitate- I want to hear from you. Until then, I'll be waiting, my prince...

I have a need for travel, adventure, and strange experiences. This need has spent me all over the world; I've lived/worked in Antarctica, studied in India, and spent a summer living off my motorcycle.

I like learning and building things. I enjoy knowing how complicated things work, and the subtleties behind things we use and take for granted every day without thinking about. I'm a quick learner and pretty flexible, and as a result, I have all kinds of random technical skills - I'm that guy who can fix your computer, bicycle, car, and so on. I'm detail oriented, bordering on obsessive when I find something I like. I have a snarky side, and can be a sarcastic bastard when given the right material. I have a bunch of geeky interests; I like complicated board games, talking about economic theory, and I do a remarkable impression of Legolas and Link.

I used to look WAY more like Legolas, but I finally cut the long hair off a few weeks ago. Mostly because I never took very good care of it, so it was a frizzy, dry, knotted, horrible mess.

P.S. Sometimes I like other guys. Not often, but it happens.

P.P.S. I should mention this here to avoid confusion down the line; I'm currently in a committed, open relationship with my girlfriend <<mordere>>. We love each other very much, but we both see other people as long as it doesn't interfere with our relationship with each other.

Almost there. It looks like you've got a few mistakes that need fixing. Take a look at this list to find out what's wrong.Almost there. It looks like you've got a few mistakes that need fixing.

I might be too weird for you. Who knows? You should probably read and find out. I am an easy (going), fun, enthusiastic character out to conquer the world. I care about my family and friends very much. My confidence grows as I get to know and love a person. I love to laugh and make others laugh. On the flip side, I can be sassy, rough around the edges, and, sometimes, a tad eccentric.

Finding humor in situations is what I do best (even if I'm the only one laughing). I love to write but do not read nearly enough. Justin Timberlake + Zac Efron = Hotties squared. There is always some annoying Top 40 pop song stuck in my head that I am singing. Right now, it's Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance." The Beatles rock. Awkward moments rule. Life's a snitch but I love it!

Just remember, everyone has a story to tell even if some are way less interesting than others.

I'm a recent college grad. I'm starting to realize I can do whatever I want with my life...I'm not confined to being an engineer (what I went to school for/just graduated summer '09). Ideally, I would run my own business. I want to get paid to think, but not just sit at a desk all day.

Being active/athletic is really important to me. I mostly just like to be outside and doing something. Some of my favorite sports: Tennis, racquetball, golf, running, hockey, football, softball, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, swimming, and martial arts. I'm always looking for a tennis partner...Okay, not in the winter. A future goal is to finish a full-length triathlon.

Rats live on no evil star. Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. They are palindromes. Interesting, no?

Humm.. not about me but a good start.
Let's figure out the rest of this later.

OKay it is later now. I've figured out a few things about myself. First of all, seriousness is a dumb sounding word, as is sounding, and I lack the ability to treat anything seriously. I'm incredibly knowledgeable about ridiculously specific things. AND, I have horrible taste in television.

Moved to the Chicagoland area in 2008 and I'm really enjoying it. This place has so much to offer. I live with my roommate and two cats. All three need adult supervision, but it works itself out somehow. Sometimes things are overwhelming, but more often than not it's one big adventure.

I don't know what to say about myself, I just joined this site hoping to find the love of my life. I'll write more stuff when I get time.

Hey i just graduated from High School. And going to Triton college now and wrestling for them. Out of all the classes English is my worst because i just can't type essays. I am outgoing person that will not be afraid to be challanged. sometimes i prefer to stay home to gather my thoughts. I go out with friends avery weekend and it is usually at night. during week days i barrely got any time because of school and wrestling. During my free time i like to go to a beach play pool or bowling, sometimes videogames.

I am somewhat of an outgoing person, and I like to do things on my own because I don't really have many friends. I am shy sometimes, but I tend to warm up after awhile. I just wish life would get better for me, and that I would be able to make more friends and start meeting the right people. I will not give up in whatever it is I want to accomplish. I am a happy person and laugh whenever I hear jokes going on in the room. I love telling jokes to people and having them crack up and making me crack up. I have a great sense of humor and I am willing to share it with others.

Interests are going out, dinner, quiet evening at home with movies or a game or, dancing, a nice walk, bowling, bike riding, a short weekend get-away, and always looking for a good conversation. Prefer non smokers

I am a unique individual that has lived a full and interesting life. I am fairly open and a pretty blunt person so people don't have to guess what I think or feel. I am an optimistic person who tries to never let the little annoyances in life get me down.
I recently moved back from 4 years in Dallas and am reaquanting myself with all the city has to offer.
I have gone through many ups and downs in life and find myself a better person for having gone through all of them. I regret nothing I have done, no matter how difficult it was when I lived through it, as it has made me who I am today.
I laugh at the silliness and superficiality that defines most of society. I used to care about money a whole lot more than I do now.
I also tend to be very stream of consciousness when I talk or write. I hate the grammar police but also hate people who cannot use their/there/they're or to/too/two correctly.
I like a cold beer or a glass of wine with dinner a couple times a week but no longer see the need to get drunk, although it probably happens a couple times a year.
I am pretty easy going for the most part but love a lively discussion and will play the devil's advocate just to have a good conversation on a topic of interest.
I have a 12 yr old daughter who lives in another state with her mother. She is important to me and visits regularly throughout the year, but there is no drama with the mother making it an easier situation to deal with all the way around.

Just trying to get your attention long enough for you to respond. I'm not looking for intimate encounters or friends with benefits. Just encounters with friends. I enjoy music and movies immensely. I was born in MN, raised in GA, college in LA, and now live in IL. I consider myself fairly intelligent and find that I can hold a decent conversation. I have to admit that I am working on my vocabulary, so don't expect to be impressed by my usage of long words. That's just not me. I don't know if I am looking for friends or a relationship, or just reassurance that I am not the only one who remembers Pink Panther bubble gum or memorized the McDonaldâ??s menu song. Just getting out there I guess.

I am an easy going, loyal, honest person. I love trying new things and meeting new people. I am a bit of a geek (loooove sci-fi), and embrace that side of myself. I am comfortable going out to a nice dinner as well as staying in and cuddling. I love to camp, swim, and just go out for walks in the spring/fall.

Conscious health creator, master healixor, superfood smoothy gooddess. Ok, thats a bit more like what I wanted my headline to read but there just was ot enough space to put all that. Anyway, as you guessed I am a bit into the health movement. I am all about looking for ways to make a difference by reducing our carbon footprint. What are you doing? There are so many options that people have to choose from when they really think about it. I am a littel vertically challenged, but then I have always known thay great things come in small packages and who cares if I need a step stool to reach alot of things around the house.

Im 28 years old and live in Des Plaines

I love Music, mostly metal but i love all kinds of music. Im a really nice guy to hang out with

I am a laid back easy going guy with a passion for sports and an appreciation for nature. I'm learning about Taoism and meditation to help me on my path.

I think the ideal song for the girl/relationship I end up with is this: "Fighter Girl" by Mason Jennings... I don't know why, but everytime I hear this song I imagine myself already married and its raining or something and I'm playing the guitar for her. Hahaha, I don't know.

Hi, my name is Jan. The number one thing I value the most in a relationship is laughter. I have to find you ridiculously funny, and hopefully you'll think that I'm a hoot (maybe even two hoots). Heck if you just think I'm funny then we might have something. I also like animals and anything outdoors, enjoying nature. Well, I make bonds with people. Like super strong covalent ionic bonds (I'm sorry I'm not chemistry adept but it sounded like a strong type of bond). My best friends have been around with me since the 3rd grade. I'm dorky, genuine, and I'm more honest than you're average person. I'm a bit artsy, (I'm left-handed, I think they're supposed to be more of the artsy type), and I have to express myself.

Some other neat facts:

-I like using rarely used catch phrases, in completely the wrong way, like after I'm done with something I would dust my hands and say, "Yep,that's all she wrote..."... It just seemed right...

-Me : seeing a popped collar :: bull : seeing red

-Donâ??t like typical looking sorority girls, or typical looking frat guys (see above), I feel like if douchebags ever had a uniform, it would look a lot like that

-My favorite pick up line is: Me: Excuse me, but do you know how much a polar bear weighs? Girl: No, why? Me: Well I was hoping it was enough to break the ice! *exaggerated laugh, that drum thing that goes da-doo-tsish* Hi, my name is Jan. (Never ever used it, but I just thought it was pretty hilarious)

-Everytime Iâ??m about to consume a citrus related product, I canâ??t help but think â??This will help prevent scurvyâ??. Iâ??m not sure why I think that, I think I might have been a pirate in a previous life.

-I am really really scared of starfish(es). Itâ??s not a long story, but ever since I was youngâ?¦ *shivers*... oh and mannequins... they freak me out too and I've had nightmares about them when I was a little kid...

-I'm not saying that I'm the cat's meow, or anything extra special... but a certain bear always tells me that only I can prevent forest fires...

-One day when I was younger, a teacher made us do some sort of exercise. We were supposed to pick our favorite animal, and list 3 characteristics that we love about them (nothing physical like because frogs are green or something). I chose the wolf and these three adjectives: loyal, fierce, and misunderstood. The teacher later told us that those are supposedly the characteristics that we look for in a significant other. So I value loyalty, I do like a girl whoâ??s got that special something, that â??fiercenessâ??, and God help me, I love a girl whoâ??s misunderstood. I kind of want to be the only one that gets to understand her. So if any of you gals have all of that, please let me know ;-).

Names Michael, born and raised in Israel. Moved to America as a youngin' and I am currently studying to be a huge computer nerd, so I can have a double life. Other then that I am a huge car enthusiast and love spending time with my friends and cruising the city or partying it up and living life. I am really upset sarcasm is underrated and use it to the fullest to brighten/worsen every ones day as much as possible. I make jokes to make myself laugh and if you laugh with me or at me, its a plus. I take not taking things seriously, seriously. Being redundantly redundant is my job and I need people to know that its my job. I often make weird noises when I walk around by myself or not, in parking lots. I have way to much going on in my head, yet I use none of what I think about to good use.

I am a fun loving guy. A bit old fashioned. I am not too good at talking about myself but I feel I have a good sense of humor, I am honest, I am laid back, educated and have a serious love of music.

I am into cars. i am currently trying to go to school for nursing . i love to party and go out to bars and clubs or sometimes just chill at home. i like a bunch of different music from beatles to attack attack, stick to your guns, 3oh!3 to lil wayne. i am hopeing to eventually own my own auto performance shop. once people get to know me i can be fun to hangout with, im up to pretty much everything. i love tattoos, i only have one but want so much more. oh yeah im puertorican/italian but dont speak a word of spanish lol.im interested in alot of things. i think of myself as a pretty decent chef. if you want ill cook for you.
As for on what im looking for. im not very picky im not shallow i just want some new faces in my life. if friendship grows to more then so be it , but for now just trying to find a chill girl to hangout with me and my current friends. someone to have a good time maybe grabs some drinks or play pool with or something. me and my friends party alot mostly in my garage though, yeah it probably sounds lame but we turned it into the ultimate chill spot.
P.S. sorry my pics really suck they r old and i hope i dont look to bad in them but im taking some soon.

Hey my names peter , im generally a nice guy.

im currently in school but as soon as i get the word im going to be in the military active duty.

I'm a hardcore nerd, geek and i love starwars, on the other hand i go out to clubs with my friends, work and dont play MMO's. I am very honest and caring. I am and always be there for my friends. To me respect is everything, im a hopeless romantic and very realistic at the same time.

I finally think that Im gonna stay in this city cause I'm getting older and I used to live in many places in usa, the most in europe for almost 20 years it was fun but not anymore im kind of calm regarding travel :)...I'm fun to be around and I don't like to be bored ...the rest will come up

I am a wonderfully Diverse, Fun, Attractive, Funny, Active, Happy-go-Lucky, Rotund, yet Dainty, Tough, well Educated, Manly-Man.

I'm pretty well rounded, there isn't much that doesn't interest me, as long as its fun or intriguing for all parties involved. Shooting, video games, most outdoor activities, anything that has to do with water, bonfires, karaoke, bars, shooting pool, concerts, museum, aquarium, going to the movies, laying on the couch, pretty much anything! Hell, I have even spent a night scrap booking (kinda just fell into that one), Sleeping, Eating, Showering, Working, Making a fool out of myself..

My name is Cosmin and I am 20 years old. I am Romanian and moved to Chicago when I was 9. I really didn't want to move here, but I had no choice. I am a sophomore at UIC. I USED to like school, but somewhere in the High School years, it turned around and.... well I don't really like ti anymore.

I am a huge sports nut. I enjoy playing softball and going to live events to watch baseball or hockey. Working out and staying fit and active are an integral part of my daily routine.

When I am not working, playing softball, watching sports or working out, I am surrounded by music. I am not much of a tv person, unless it comes to watching sports or movies. I would rather listen to music which sets the tone. My music of choice is heavy metal or rock. And, when it comes to movies, I enjoy all genres of movies, especially scary movies.

I am looking for someone I can become friends with first. I am not looking for right now... What I am looking for is someone who has a plan and knows what they want in life and isn't afraid to go out and get it. Getting to know someone and seeing where life takes us is very important to me. If nothing else, I gain a long lasting friendship.

So, what are you waiting for...

Pretty laid back guy, I would say I have an odd sense of humor but I usually am able to get anyone to laugh.
Recently got a place in Des Plaines, but mostly know the northside of Chicago.
Big fan of films and most videogame types except sports and racing.

im a medium build dark n handsome young man just like to live life to the fullest i love cars reading n just doing everything that strikes my intrest just hoping to meet some very interesting people.

I'm one of those down to Earth kind of guy's who likes to be sarcastic and speaks my mind. On my time off I like to spend time with my family they are the most important ones to me, hang out with my buddies, going to the gym, and meeting girls who are also down to earth. Things I enjoy are icecream, computers, video games, listening to music, going to the beach, the movies, cooking, drinking wine on occasions when I go out, and I especially love the out doors.

When you first meet me, you might think Iâ??m a little shy, but once I get to know you I quickly warm up. Thatâ??s when youâ??ll see the talkative, thrill-seeking, impulsive and open-minded side to me. Iâ??m hoping to find a woman who will be a great friend first and foremost, and maybe even a soul mate. What type of woman am I looking for? Someone who enjoys the same activities I do, is honest, loving and intelligent, and has an energetic personality. Iâ??m ready to settle down with the right person, now I just have to meet her!

I suppose I can try to self summarize myself.

Who? The name's Wyll.
What? A visionary, a romantic, a dreamer,..an organ donor.
Where? Chicago unless I'm at school in which case would be Carbondale.
When? Anytime, all the time, unless Gilmore Girls is on.
Why? Why not right? Just want to meet some solid folks , unless of course youre the perky lady from the Progressive Insurance commercials, in which case ...will you marry me?.

Well I am looking for a best friend, the love of my life. I have a condo, a great job, some really great friends and family and a cute dog (what else could you ask for right). My life just doesn't feel complete though I want somebody to share my life with. So if you find me interesting at all please say Hi

I'm not sure what I expected 40 to feel like, but this isn't it. I'm certainly able to be serious and mature when the situation calls for it, but I firmly believe in enjoying life as much as possible every day.

I've worked at the same company for my entire career. That seems to be quite an anomaly in this day and age. I generally like what I do and the people I work with around the globe.

I love to travel and have had the opportunity to see some interesting places in the world. My list of places I would still like to see is quite long, so it's time to get more serious about it.

I was married for many years. Quite honestly, I am really good at being in a committed relationship. I'm not sure if that's something you should admit, but it's the truth.

Hi-my name is Kasey (aka KC). I'm generally quiet; soft voice, don't always have a lot to say, and I value silence. I'm a good listener, despite my slight hearing loss. People often come to me for support or advice. I'm very empathetic and sensitive. I have a warm heart, but I don't take crap and am stubborn and strong-willed. I tend to people watch in public. I don't like to be the center of attention. I am drama free, or at least try to be. I'm shy, but not dull. I like to have fun! I enjoy playing board games, card games, darts, bowling, croquet, ping-pong, pool, dancing, video games, watching Packer games, and playing all kinds of sports. I like sarcasm. I'm simple, au naturel. I don't wear makeup. I don't have any piercings or tattoos and I have nothing against them if you have them (in moderation).

I'm a cancer survivor. That is part of the reason why I'm so short (and stubborn/strong-willed). I'd gladly share my story if you're interested.

I'm not looking for someone to complete me and I don't believe I have another "half" out there. Love comes from within and I honestly think I can live a happy life without a significant other. However, I like to keep that option open and am looking for someone who is genuinely a good person. I don't care about looks, just as long as you take care of yourself. Health is a good quality. I'm looking for a guy who likes the idea of getting married some day. I am extremely loyal and would hope to find someone as equally so. He would be kind, generous, understanding, affectionate, a good listener, a problem solver, respectful, caring, smart, mature, fun, honest and trustworthy. He'd be my best friend. This probably means you would have to enjoy playing board/card games and sports, and probably dancing occasionally too (Extra extra bonus points if you're a guy and interested in taking a class once in a while!)...we'd have so much fun!

I'm not the biggest fan of going out to eat. Proportions are HUGE! If you like the idea of sharing a meal, then let's eat!

No smokers. No druggies. If you drink to get drunk, we're probably not a good match.

Thank you okcupid for the interesting messages I've received over the years. Despite my gratitude, however entertaining it may have been, I am NOT interested in perverted men, men old enough to be my father, women (romantically), being your mistress, nor do I want to be part of your ménage à trois. And you cannot smell my panties.

I'm going to stick to the cold, hard numbers on this one. So don't go thinking that I've got no sense of humor because I promise I can get you to lol.

I currently work at a restaurant but that's only until I can own my own bar/restaurant/coffee house.

Hmm-let's see, I just finished my undergrad and trying to figure out my life...lol. Well not that broad exactly. I have a decent job but I have concluded corporate America is not the thing for me but it does pay the bills for now. I always try to see the good in people and always give the benefit of the doubt. Though I have been proven wrong on that. A lot of my friends say I might come off as an asshole at first don't fret though just my great and amazing sarcasm. If you are someone who kinda has an idea where they want to go, and are determined to actually enjoy life...ohh and off course enjoy sarcasm and roller coasters, sky diving, exploring the world and something along those lines, then I want to talk to you!

single dad beutiful 2 year old girl. Just lookin for some fun. My life is a bit complex right now. But things won't stay that way forever "I HOPE" just want to meet some new peps have some fun maybe go out on a couple of dates.
