Overall to me it looks fine.

I'd probably expand the one thing you are looking for. I wouldn't suggest single word answers.

Also just a minor grammar thing or atleast it is to me. "enjoying a glass of wine or a beer WITH some good company".

I agree ... expand on the what you're looking for. That's one of the most important questions on the profile. Use it to tell people who you are.

Put the apostrophe in "im the costume lady"! People are going to read that as some kind of instant message handle.

Great profile. You might want to expand what you are looking for in a partner, however. Just a little.

Also, you say entrepreneur. What is your job specifically? Some people see entrepreneur and think bad things. If you can say Event Coordinator or Advertising Consultant or Business Coach, say it. I couldn't figure out what your job was from the rest of your profile.

Also, if this is a direct copy and paste, the grammar-queen in me insists that you go through and capitalize the first letter of each sentence or bullet point, as well as anywhere you have "I." Putting in apostrophes would also be great.

I'd suggest making an effort to provide a better answer to this question. It almost reads as if you raised yourself and don't need anyone else. Why not say that it's hard to pinpoint the absolute most influential person, but somebody that stands out is your best friend so-and-so because of such-and-such.

how about: 'someone who is honest and forthright about who they are and what they are looking for in life. someone who says what they mean and means what they say ' instead of 'integrity'... but it sounds kind of bitter doesnt it? any ideas on how to 'nice' it up?
and if im kind of between businesses and planning on going to school for retraining in sept, but its still kind of up in the air... would 'student' be more appropriate? dont really want to put 'jobless bum'

Like the others have said, expand the one word answers and actually answer the most important person question. Surely there's someone at some point that's influenced your life.

Entrepreneur is such a vague thing that I would consider something a little more defined. How are you making money right now?

I'd also consider dropping the ee cummings schtick and properly capitalizing and punctuating.

Yup, what he said.

Actually, this looks like the profile of someone who signed up for free but never paid. Put some substance into it.

No, it didn't sound bitter to me. But now that I know it sounds bitter to you, perhaps it's bitter? lol.

"Student" would be good if you were already enrolled for the fall, but it sounds like you're not actually sure what you're going to be doing. And I gather you're not currently employed? In that case, I recommend putting whatever your career was, perhaps with "/Student" after it. E.g., "Teacher/Student" or whatever you were doing.

Then you will have to deal with explaining exactly what your situation is, when you meet people. There are several threads about that in the Dating forum. Good luck!
