I would greatly appreciate your input. It seems those that I most hope will communicate with me don't and those I'm not really interested in do. I've add my photos from the eH profile as well. The cartoon photo isn't one of them.

Thanks for your input.

The one thing I am most passionate about:
Currently, I'm passionate about finishing my education. I'm senior at ODU finishing my last eight classes for a bachelors in Communications and Political Science. I love going to school and learning new things.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
I would say a good communicator. Good communication, whether verbal or some other form, can make or break a relationship.

The most influential person in my life has been:
My sister, grandparents and my son. My sister is my best friend and has always been there for me. I learned a lot about life and what’s really important from my grandparents. My son has given me a new outlook on life and taught me to appreciate the small joys each day brings.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
Friends and family
The many opportunities I’ve had to travel
The opportunity to go to school full time

Three of my best life-skills are:
Using humor to make friends laugh
Raising and/or caring for children
Continue to expand my knowledge and awareness

The first thing people notice about me:
My witty sense of humor. I like to laugh and do so as often as possible. I have a sharp sense of humor with a touch of sarcasm.

Some additional information I want you to know:
I’m a single mother and I have all of the joys and responsibilities that go along with that. I’m a very caring and affectionate person with a sense of adventure. I love new experiences and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with this one.

I typically spend my leisure time:
I like to go to the gym after work and school. I often take my son to the park, aquarium, zoo or anywhere that is out of the house when the weather is nice. I enjoy having dinner and spending an evening with friends.

The last book I read and enjoyed:
I'm currently reading Guantanamo's Child. It's a story about Omar Khadr, the youngest person ever held in Guantanamo. He recently pled guilty and was sentenced through the military commissions system. I just finished My Sister's Keeper and a couple Dan Brown books.

My friends describe me as:
Dependable
Caring
Sweet
Intelligent

Do you list an occupation or is it just "student"? If the latter, then the question of how you support yourself should be at least mentioned.

Please reconsider your "first thing people notice" answer. What is the FIRST thing people notice? Niceness or kindness is probably not the first thing someone would observe about you. Regardless, it's a common profile no-no to say "I am nice". Usually guys plead their case by saying "I am a nice guy" which women see as a bit desperate. I suppose there's nothing too wrong with a woman saying "I am nice"... but can't you be more creative? You've already said that your friends would describe you as caring and sweet.

Otherwise, it's a nice profile. All the questions are answered, and it gives a good picture of your life.

Also, be aware that most of your matches are zombie profiles. They're not currently using eH. So don't sit around "hoping" that anyone will communicate with you. Send the first questions to anyone that interests you... and then forget about them until they reply. It may never happen.

Under occupation I list City Employee. Thanks for the input. I made a change to the 'thing most people notice about me' section.

Just noticed a couple typos:

"I’m a very carrying and affectionate person"

"I learned a lot about life ad what’s really important from my grandparents."

I agree with melman.

Also,

Honesty is a given. I think most people put that here. In addition to that, I would say a good communicator. Good communication, whether verbal or some other form, can make or break a relationship.




I think you can cut this down a little... remember that your matches may just be skimming your profile, so the less to read, the better. This part sounds like (since honesty is a given) maybe you should cut it out and just skip straight to the last sentence. Otherwise, I really like it!

Thank you for your input. I have one more questions; for want children I put "maybe." I say that because I have a son and my need to proceate has been met. If I settle down with someone who wants children I'm not opposed to haveing another child at all. Should I add this?

YES! I'm in the same situation. I have TWO kids, a boy and a girl, but I'm not opposed to having more if he wants children of his own. In my profile, I put YES for children living in the home, and MAYBE for wanting more children.
