Name: Will say later

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual Female

Age: 25

Location: Essex/London UK

Sports: None, but I do a moderate amount of walking (5-10 miles a week)

Height: 5 feet 4 inches

Eyes: Green

Build: Slightly overweight

Best feature: Eyes

Clothes: Depends on mood. Normally a skirt with tights and some top to match it.

Personality: Honestly? I'm usually confident, but currently insecure. I'm very honest and I like to question. When I'm one-to-one with people, I can be quite talkative. Otherwise in a group, sometimes I'm silent. I can be a bit intense, but that's mainly due to my literal thinking. i.e. I'm direct, and I'm not always able to read between the lines, however, I can always pick up when someone is being dishonest or mean. I can read body language.

Books: None currently

Quote: A good one I heard the other day actually, is "Don't try and live up to others' expectations, because they're theirs, not yours", or something along the lines of.

Smoking: No

Drinking: When out with friends

Ethnicity: Caucasian (White)

Five things I can't live without: Mobile, money, food, home, internet.

In my bedroom you will find: Bed, old style wardrobe, shelving unit, drawers and dressing table.

Things or people I don't like: Change, and people who think the sun shines out their rear-ends, and people who stick to their friends no matter what. Yep, you read correctly! I mean for instance - someone who agrees with whatever their friend(s) do, even if they do/say something mean. That, and I prefer to hear peoples' opinions. When I talk about problems, I like to hear advice, not just be agreed with about everything, otherwise I feel I'm being sucked up to, or lied to. I don't like people who think politics or intelligence is everything, and that anyone who doesn't want to know about politics is somehow less-than, or stupid. Intelligence really isn't everything. I don't like men who hint at me, because they're usually trying to lead me on e.g. when men hint that they want children...I'm thinking, "Of course you do."

Looking for: Open-minded, flexible, honest, reliable man aged 22-35. Knowledge not necessary, but ability to question is. Friendliness is key! No pushiness. Must like hugs. Must initiate.

Name: Mia

Sexual orientation: Straight, female

Age: 42

Location: London ( I live in the US but I'm in London a lot and interested in meeting someone there )

Height: 5ft 4

Eyes: Brown

Build: Slim

Clothes: Very casual and usually in darker colours. Jeans, leather jacket, boots.

Personality: INTP, introverted, quiet, reserved...you get the picture. But I would not be forced into doing something I don't want to. I'm calm and patient. Tend to take things literally. But I'm usually very laid back.
(And I should mention that I do not have AS.)

Smoking: No

Drinking: Love wine

Ethnicity: Japanese

Music: Alternative/indie rock. Love going to gigs. Not into Metal.

Things or people I don't like: I dislike people who throw cigarette butts on the street, people who don't use turn signals when driving and people who are loud.

Looking for: someone to go to gigs with basically. So someone with similar taste in music, who can afford to go to gigs, time and money-wise.

To be completely honest, I'm not really interested in meeting someone romantically (although I'm not opposed to the idea entirely). I'd be happy if I can meet someone decent to hang out with in London.

^ I didn't mean anything by that.

No?

I took it to be slightly indulgent.

Indulgent how?

Gotcha. I was wondering if maybe it was a British expression. Learn something new everyday.
