Profile Review - 27yr old F

Thanks for the input!

The one thing I am most passionate about:
Only one thing? People, if it has to be only one thing. My family & friends are the best in the world; I love my church family, and I love taking care of people at work. "Love God, love people."

Passionate about is the reason why you chose your career....is there a hobby or interest or cause you fight for? Is there something you volunteer for?

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
A spiritual leader is a must-have for me. A man who can lead me toward Jesus every day we're together. A man who can not only handle but appreciate that fact that I'm a strong, capable woman, and not a delicate flower.

Right off the bat you are talking all religion all the time. This is going to turn away many of your matches. Eharminy is not a religious match maker.

Its ok to mention your religious views but you only want to do this once. Saying twice or more in your profile says your a bible thumper.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:
My friend A.K. has been very influential in my life; she's a big part of the reason I became a nurse, and I definitely admire her marriage & family life. She's just a little older than me, and it's so cool to see someone my age with such a healthy marriage.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
-My family & friends; my parents have been married almost 34 years, and I respect them so much for that. My siblings & friends are the coolest & best in the world.
-My good health. I'm very blessed with a tough constitution!
-The flexibility my career allows me. I can work just about anywhere, with any hours, as a nurse.

Three of my best life-skills are:
Using humor to make friends laugh
Helping those who are less fortunate or in need
Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:That I'm friendly & not stuck up. Large groups are not my forté, so when I meet people in a crowd I probably come off as a little standoff-ish, when in fact I just feel more comfortable in a smaller crowd.

this is saying you are a stuck up...

The things I can't live without are:
my faith in Jesus
my family & friends
flexibility in my career
being outdoors
coffee & my contacts- I can't pick between them!

The first thing people notice about me:
Is smile part of my appearance? I guess it is. Hopefully my kindness- or maybe my quick wit!

Some additional information I want you to know:
I hate old, worn out socks. I love fresh, homegrown vegetables. I don't really care much about college football. (Heretical in the south, I know.) If there was such a thing as a dishwasher-loading competition, I could win one. But on a more serious note: While I'm not in a hurry, I am pretty serious about a relationship that can be long-term. I'm not really about just dating to be dating; I want a relationship to be consciously looking to figure out if we could spend a lifetime together. Marriage means till death do us part to me.

My interests
I typically spend my leisure time
Hanging out with my family & close friends is always fun, no matter what we're up to. I've recently taken up running, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I expected to; I'm actually training for a half-marathon in May! When I get the chance, I like to ride horses. I also enjoying kayaking (flat water only so far), hiking, whitewater rafting (if I lived closer to the Ocoee, I'd be on it every day that I could), and things like that. I have been known to buy a plane ticket for somewhere 12 hours before it was time for take-off...

The last book I read and enjoyed:
I read Rick Bragg's story about Jessica Lynch, more because it was Rick Bragg than because it was about Jessica Lynch. But it was very good. I've read all but one of his books, and they feel very familiar to me; the people he talks about and the way life was for his ancestors sounds very similar to where my family came from (just not quite as rough as his!).

I'm a Catholic, and I'd love a religious partner too.... but sweetie, maybe God's plan for you is to strengthen someone else's faith? Think about it and try not to narrow down your options by listing this as THE MOST IMPORTANT thing..... especially since this isnt ChristianSingles, etc.

Why do you feel more comfortable in a smaller crowd? If you're mentioning it... it might be good to explain why and not let someone form their own assumption/opinion.

I like what you did here! I wrote something similar (bunch of random facts) but I suggest cutting your "serious note" in half.... its just TOO much too soon. Try stopping at, "...a relationship that can be long-term." Period. And save the rest for later, if he mentions it in GC, OC, or on a date.

Stating you want long-term already implies that you're not dating just to date, and that marriage could be in the future. Keep some cards in your deck for a later conversation.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have tweaked quite a few things. I have only about 5 pics so far, but I'm scouring thru trying to find some good action shots. My distance & age settings are pretty wide; 120 miles, and a couple years younger to almost 10 years older. I have sent out quite a few GC questions (at least 20, maybe more, and I've only been a subscriber for a week), but haven't gotten any response yet. I'll try to send out more questions so maybe I can get some responses. Any other tips?
