I've been on every evening for this huge free communication week, but no response from a single person! What gives?! Maybe it's a system fluke, because I usually get great responses.

The one thing I am most passionate about: LIFE! God gave us this amazing ability to life on Earth and I definitely try not to take it for granted! I have a zest for life and love meeting new people and trying new things.

LIFE! God gave us this amazing ability to life on Earth and I definitely try not to take it for granted! I have a zest for life and love meeting new people and trying new things. I love traveling and seeing new places and faces, but I can also be just as content curled up on the couch watching the same movie every weekend. We have the freedom to be self-thinking individuals and I'm very appreciative for that, especially in today's "Hollywood"-mainstream society. I want to live my life so others see Christ's love through my heart and actions.


The most important thing I am looking for in a person is: The man I wind up with must be looking for a Christian marriage. I want a relationship where God is first, then my spouse and my (future) children. I want that all-American family lifestyle. I don't necessarily want to be "barefoot and pregnant", as they say, but I do want mutual respect, happiness and the love that can only exist when God is at the center of the relationship.



Basic Information

Occupation: Private Age 23 Height 5' 5" Wants Kids: Yes Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity White, non-Hispanic Religion: Christian Drinks: About once a week Smokes: Never

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

I'm not sure I could pin-point one person. Maybe my youngest sister? She's my whole world. I'm not really sure! I think everyone you encounter has an effect on your life-whether it's positive or negative.


The three things which I am most thankful for:

  • God. I'm not perfect, but I'm thankful that I have a chance to go to heaven when I die and having hope!
  • Medical science/health-This is a personal one for me. Many precious lives have been saved, and I'm thankful for that.
  • Freedom-I love our country and the freedoms that come with it. I support our troops. God bless them.

Three of my best life-skills are:

  • Using humor to make friends laugh
  • Volunteering my time to causes I care about
  • Raising and/or caring for children


The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

When I'm in a relationship, I give 110%. I'd never cheat, lie or be abusive. I give everything I have to make the man I'm with happy. I'm not just another girl.


The things I can't live without are:

  • God
  • Sweet tea (wow...I'm SO southern!)
  • My pets
  • Love
  • Music


The first thing people notice about me:

I'd have to go with my laugh! I get a lot of comments on my laugh for some reason. Or maybe the way I genuinely care about people, but never loose sight of my beliefs. Either that, or my southern accent.


Some additional information I want you to know:

I haven't had the easiest life, but I've worked very hard to get to where I am today and I'm so proud of that! I want a man who will treat me right without having to try or think twice about it. I want a man who will appreciate all that I have to give him and love me dolled up or in frumpy sweat pants. I have so much to give, but feel like I'm rarely given the chance and often dropped into the "friends" category too soon.


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

I like anything from 4 wheeling, going to concerts, and staying in for a movie night! Being out on a boat is great, too! I love trying new restaurants, traveling, making things and decorating. I love spending time with my quirky family or sitting around talking with old friends.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

I read a ton of kids' books at work...does that count?! I've been reading a ton of recipe books, as I've recently taken up cooking.


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

  • Genuine
  • Loyal
  • Spontaneous
  • Romantic

Try to stay away from cliches and mentioning anything over and over, state once that you are religious, and what that means

Please don't propose in a profile!!........and start planning the family!!
Tone this down to a brief summary of personal traits/ characteristics that you admire /enjoy!
Again this smacks of a lot of hard luck and baggage.
try to be a little light hearted and fun

  • Medical science/health-This is a personal one for me. Many precious lives have been saved, and I'm thankful for that.

Wow, please don't put all this stuff, a profile is a brief summary of you, not a diary of hard luck.

This smacks of an abusive background and major baggage.

Sounds way too submissive to the point of begging,

You attract a man by being attractive, with a lively, fun interesting profile, not heavy handed marriage ultimatums.
He has to be attracted to you first, to love you, then... marry you!


The things I can't live without are:

  • God Already mentioned
  • Sweet tea (wow...I'm SO southern!)
  • My pets
  • Love
  • Music


The first thing people notice about me:

I'd have to go with my laugh! I get a lot of comments on my laugh for some reason. Or maybe the way I genuinely care about people, but never loose sight of my beliefs. Either that, or my southern accent.
This part is great, lively and upbeat

Some additional information I want you to know:

I haven't had the easiest life, but I've worked very hard to get to where I am today and I'm so proud of that! I want a man who will treat me right without having to try or think twice about it. I want a man who will appreciate all that I have to give him and love me dolled up or in frumpy sweat pants. I have so much to give, but feel like I'm rarely given the chance and often dropped into the "friends" category too soon.

Please delete all of the above "I want a man who.. "A man must be" is an instant turn off,

Yes you may want all this down the line, but the point here is romance and to attract a man, which the thought of frumpy sweat pants is never going to do!!
And friends thing, please no it's like saying I am a sloppy unattractive woman, but please love me anyway.
Just don't go there

My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

I like anything from 4 wheeling, going to concerts, and staying in for a movie night! Being out on a boat is great, too! I love trying new restaurants, traveling, making things and decorating. I love spending time with my quirky family or sitting around talking with old friends. This is all good and makes you sound fun and approachable, except the thought of the Addams family

Hi txchick321 & welcome to EHA!

I agree with Wiseman2 that sometimes there is just no contact and it's not to do with the profile.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
The man I wind up with must be looking for a Christian marriage. I want a relationship where God is first, then my spouse and my (future) children. I want that all-American family lifestyle. I don't necessarily want to be "barefoot and pregnant", as they say, but I do want mutual respect, happiness and the love that can only exist when God is at the center of the relationship.Okay, I can see that your belief of a God-centric relationship is very important to you and yes, that should be stated. You could re-phrase along the lines of that 'I'm looking for a man who believes as I do that mutual respect, happiness and love in a Christian marriage can only exist when God is the centre of the relationship. I want that all American lifestyle.' The addition of specific traits you find attractive will help your potential matches to know whether you might find them attractive.


The most influential person in my life has been:
I'm not sure I could pin-point one person. Maybe my youngest sister? She's my whole world. I'm not really sure! I think everyone you encounter has an effect on your life-whether it's positive or negative. Really have a good think about this question. There are plenty of people who have made no impact to my life, this makes you sound really, really young.


The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
When I'm in a relationship, I give 110%. I'd never cheat, lie or be abusive. I give everything I have to make the man I'm with happy. I'm not just another girl. Ooooh, please consider re-writing this answer! If a man wrote this in a profile, it would be enough for me to close him out.


Some additional information I want you to know:
I haven't had the easiest life, but I've worked very hard to get to where I am today and I'm so proud of that! I want a man who will treat me right without having to try or think twice about it. I want a man who will appreciate all that I have to give him and love me dolled up or in frumpy sweat pants. I have so much to give, but feel like I'm rarely given the chance and often dropped into the "friends" category too soon. This reads like a list of demands and wraps up with a disappointment (friends category). This is an opportunity to talk about you, what is it that you would like to tell about yourself?

Cheers, Meri.
